The Budget & Appropriations Committee of the Westchester County Board of Legislators met on October 19, 2026, to review Part 1 of the Capital Budget. Presentations were received from the Department of Planning and the Department of Environmental Facilities (DEF). Discussions focused on infrastructure resilience, cost escalations, ratepayer impacts, and improving transparency in capital project oversight.
Commissioner Vincent Kopicki and his team presented dozens of capital projects for 2027, including vehicles, heavy equipment, sewer system rehabilitation, pumping station upgrades, and treatment facility improvements.
Loud and clear and going into the new year. I'm sure we'll do uh a better job. Then we're sure we're all working together. All right. Uh any other questions or comments or statements uh foreign johnson. Thank you. Um I thought that um the project that uh was uh add at the end of 2024 for plug litigation um we'll call the behind 10 county center road and the greenbird uh area. Wasn't that DL40? It's a different right, because that's county owned land. So it's a different capital cut project that it's still it's different than VPL 26. Right, it's BPL 40. It's still active. It's still at and um so what's the what's the uh progress or status in that area? Uh as you may know, there has been a lot of turn SAT turnover with the town of Greenbird, but those conversations still continue. Uh it's a little bit complex. The town has also started, I think two or three studies that are also funded under BPL26, so we can check back with them to see for their uh where their priorities are and what the status in all three of them okay that's great. Thank you. But that's separate and apart from the county's work, correct? BPL 40 is county owned, BPL26 slash 47 is the funding that we have traditionally given to municipalities. Okay, so I'm inquiring about BPL 40. Okay. What's the status of that? I don't I don't think we'd have a project for that under BPL 40. We can find out and get back to it. But yeah, we'll find out. I know that one involved parks DW and DEF. It's a it's a little bit complicated because there's some property ownership and infrastructure issues right in that location. Uh and they all combine. Would you just repeat the location? Thank you. The main one of the main problem areas is behind 10 county center road. And oh, it's from the Manhattan Fork Problem through uh Greenberg Baby and the farm through. All right, so we'll circle back to that information as well. Any other questions or comments from legislators? Anyone online? All right, seeing and hearing none. Commissioner team, thank you all very much. Thank you. We'll see you very soon very soon. Thanks for having me. Uh Margaret, you want to grab another little bad you get another one? I think it's all right. All right, next up. I'm sure this works.
