The Life You Save May be Your Own

Take a Walk on the Wild Side

It's that time again, folks -- see and be seen at the Annual Sidewalk Sale, organized by the Scarsdale Business Alliance.  This year's sale runs from July 25 through July 27, including a concert from Songs for Seeds in Chase Park on Saturday morning. Don’t miss out on amazing blowout savings from your favorite local retail establishments, as well as a host of local vendors, food trucks, and family fun. Oh, and here's a Scarsdale Official Insider tip: The cool people bring a canine companion, but not in Chase Park. Shop and save local!

Invasive Species Awareness

It's New York State Invasive Species Awareness Week. Invasive species are plants, animals, insects, pathogens, and parasites that are not native to an area and may cause significant harm to human health, the economy, or the environment. The Village has undertaken projects like the South Fox Meadow knotweed remediation and residents are encouraged to learn about invasive species and to also take steps to help stop their spread. Among others, Garlic Mustard and Japanese Knotweed are locally common invasives. Spread the word, not the invasives. 

Capital C

is for Construction, especially the Village's summer Capital Projects. The $1.235M Capital Road Resurfacing program for FY 19/20 began this week, with approximately 5.5 miles of village roadways scheduled for resurfacing through fall 2019. Other Capital Projects being undertaken around the community include work focused on repairing and improving the state of underground infrastructure, including water and sewer lines. Additionally, grant-supported projects, including the Heathcote Bridge and the Hutch River Stormwater Project are moving forward in 2019, too.
