Greenburgh Names Lounge at Center in Honor of Juettner
The Greenburgh Town Board voted Monday to name the lounge at the Anthony F. Veteran Park Multipurpose Center in honor of retiring Councilwoman Diana Juettner.
After serving the town for almost 30 years, Juettner attended her final Town Board meeting Monday.
Supervisor Paul Feiner, who proposed the dedication for Juettner, said Juettner played an integral role in pushing for the construction of the Multipurpose Center.
“Diana will be missed. She deserves the recognition and a big thank you for her hard work, dedication and accomplishments,” Feiner stated. “Without Diana’s advocacy the multipurpose center would not have been built. Diana played key roles in the library expansion, significant open space acquisition; our Aaa bond rating; the miles of additional sidewalks and safety enhancements being built around the town, the Nature Center, building affordable housing around town and much more.”
“Years ago, she convinced me to try something most people had not yet tried -e mails and the Internet,” Feiner continued.
“She was involved in our technology committee. She was a few years ahead of her time and Greenburgh was the first community in the region to have a government website. I became an e mail addict because of Diana.”
Juettner has served on the Town Board since 1992. She has served as liaison to the Parks and Recreation Advisory and to Commissioner of Parks and Recreation since being elected, along with being a liaison to the Greenburgh Library Board and the Greenburgh Nature Center.
On December 1, she received the Commissioner’s Community Service Award in recognition of her contributions and dedication for enhancing parks and recreational opportunities in Greenburgh.
