Top issues during term (10)(Environment)
Peekskill Views 24-unit Frost Lane development — stormwater and water main risk
Damage to the main could be catastrophic for the city; who pays for repairs hasn't been settled.
Solar panels on the reservoir
The project promises about $2.8 million in local benefits over 25 years with no city funding, but residents question who pays if contamination or removal becomes necessary.
Campfield Reservoir floating solar array
The city would get about $26,000 a year in lease payments over 25 years, while opponents argue monitoring and potential cleanup costs could exceed that.
Gas Powered Leaf Blower Ban
Landscaping businesses could face costs to replace gas equipment; possible state credits or discounts for electric purchases are under discussion.
Hollow Brook Creek watershed protection
The city would cover part of a 20% match on a grant worth up to $750,000, with money available in the dam maintenance budget line.
2026 street tree planting
Trees cost about $120 each this year thanks to DPW labor and NY Power Authority discounts; future DEC grants could fund bigger plantings.
Civic Roots Westchester Grant Partnership
Grant requests up to $50,000 over 18 months, administered by CEEP with no direct financial obligation to the city.
Riverfront flood mitigation grant
A $3 million state grant, plus a new engineering grant for the sewer system.
$3 million Green Innovation Grant for riverfront green infrastructure
$3 million in new state grant money for riverfront stormwater projects — no local tax hit, but maintenance will fall to the city.
Geothermal feasibility study
$25,000 city share, contingent on the NYSERDA partnership.
