Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Peekskill public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Community hub and NY BRICKS grant application
The city wants to apply for about $6 million in state NY BRICKS funding by December 7 to turn the Neighborhood Center into a community hub with dining, assembly, and classroom space — and a local group wants to run a free woodworking program out of the firehouse bay as part of that vision. The city would need a 20% match if funded.
Depew Park Improvements
The council hired Saratoga Associates to design the next round of Depew Park upgrades — resurfaced playground, refurbished courts, a soccer mini-pitch, shade structures and trees — funded in part by a state grant with a $91,600 city match.
