Roselle Playground Community Build: The Roselle Playground has been removed with new play structures scheduled for construction in early April. The design, which can be viewed here, was selected by a working group of village residents who volunteered their time to select playground designs and layouts that best meet community needs. The Village is actively recruiting a group of volunteers to participate in a ‘community build’ for the construction of the playground at Roselle Parks scheduled for April 11 and April 12.

98 Washington Avenue Update: In 2016, Westchester County acquired 98 Washington Avenue and conveyed it to a private developer with deed restrictions that require it to be used for affordable housing. Although the project received a building permit, it was never completed. Eventually, Westchester County sued the owner (MIGI Asset Acquisition LLC) for failure to complete the County-supported project.  After a lengthy legal process, the property was sold last week to Lifting Up Westchester, a nonprofit organization dedicated to housing initiatives. With County support, Lifting Up Westchester plans to renovate the building and complete the 14 units of affordable housing. Their project is zoning-compliant and aligns with the property’s deed restrictions. Lifting Up is expected to apply for building permits soon, with the goal of beginning construction this spring. We look forward to progress at this long-dormant site.

Overdose Recovery Kits Now Available at the Pleasantville Police Department: The Pleasantville Police Department, in partnership with the Urban League of Westchester, is now offering free Overdose Recovery Kits to anyone who needs them. These lifesaving opioid overdose response kits contain Narcan (naloxone), a simple-to-use and highly effective medication that can reverse the effects of an accidental opioid overdose. Community members can pick up a kit anonymously by visiting the Pleasantville Police Department at Village Hall (Bedford Road entrance).

New recycling app ‘Recycle Coach’ now available: Village residents now have access to a new recycling app. Westchester County’s Department of Environmental Facilities (DEF) partnered with ‘Recycle Coach’ to launch a free mobile app to help make recycling and solid waste information more accessible for Village residents. The Sustainable Westchester mobile app, ‘Recycle Right Westchester’, is no longer available.  ‘Recycle Coach’ connects residents with their collection schedules, shares local disposal and recycling information and supplies educational tools to help make it easier to recycle products. Users can access ‘Recycle Coach’ for free from their desktop computers and mobile devices. The app can be downloaded from the App Store or Google Play.
