Westchester County Executive George Latimer is
setting his priorities for the new year.
Latimer hopes to get the
County Center back into usable condition as a recreational venue.
He says he'll also be
working on new contracts with CSEA and corrections officers, and complete the
master plan process at the County Airport.
Latimer also expects to
accomplish more capital improvements to roads, sewage treatment plans and other
infrastructure.
The county faces an
uncertain financial future heading into the new year, with threats of inflation
or a recession, but Latimer is optimistic. "If the worst case scenario happens, we'll have to
shift policies to address that. And if the worst case does not happen, then
we'll take some comfort from what we hope will be a good year ahead."
He spent part of the weekend
in Albany at Gov. Kathy Hochul's inauguration and said he's excited to hear
more on how the county and state can work together to achieve these goals.
