Town Board of New Castle Work Session & Meeting 5/26/26

The Town Board of New Castle held a work session and meeting on May 26, 2026, which included a detailed presentation and discussion regarding the Joan Corwin Way sewer relief project led by Westchester County officials. The project involves installing a new 30-inch relief sewer pipe to alleviate hydraulic restrictions caused by an existing 24-inch pipe, with construction expected to last approximately 18 months. The county has put the project out to bid, and contracts are anticipated to be signed imminently. The board discussed traffic management, staging areas, and mitigation efforts to minimize disruption to local businesses and residents, including funding allocated by the county for police traffic control. Additionally, the board reviewed several procurement-related items including authorization to accept bids for municipal solid waste residential refuse services, approval to purchase arc flash studies for the Millwood Water Treatment Plant via a cooperative purchasing agreement, and authorization to bid for on-call surveying services to streamline future projects. The board also approved a cyber insurance renewal with a new carrier, accepted donations for the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center, and authorized various personnel hires and promotions. The meeting concluded with motions to close a public hearing on a multi-use development project and approval of payment claims totaling over $5.4 million.
