WHITE PLAINS-Westchester County Executive Andrew Spano and other area county legislators have pledged the county will support an initiative to protect Taxter Ridge, a 200-acre parcel of land in Greenburgh from commercial development.

WHITE PLAINS-Westchester County politicians pledge that the county government will kick in its support of a movement to acquire the 200-acre Taxter Ridge property in Greenburgh in order to protect the site from development.

Westchester County Executive Andrew Spano and County Legislators Lois Bronz and Tom Abinanti say that county government must move to help finance the acquisition of the property in order to protect one of the largest open space parcels in Southern Westchester County.

“As we have done with the Gaisman property in Greenburgh, Hilltop Hanover in Yorktown and Davids Island in New Rochelle, we will work in partnership with local government, the state and others to preserve this environmentally sensitive property for future generations,” Spano says. “This is an especially important piece of land because it is one of the last really large parcels in what is a mostly developed area of the county. We should not miss out on an opportunity to save this property from development.”
