As a resident of the Town of Mount Pleasant, I would like to express my full support for the unanimous resolution passed by the Westchester County Parks, Recreation and Conservation Advisory Board on Mar. 17 for Westchester County to acquire the property at 715 Sleepy Hollow Rd. without delay. This purchase will expand Pocantico Lake County Park and prevent a massive development that threatens the Hudson River watershed, the future of the Pocantico Lake County Park and many acres of pristine wilderness. Many thanks to board Chair Henry Neale for his leadership in this matter.
