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

The Newcastle Town Board held a work session and meeting on May 26, 2026, focusing primarily on the Joan Corwin Way sewer relief project led by Westchester County's Department of Environmental Facilities. The project aims to alleviate a hydraulic bottleneck by installing a new 30-inch relief sewer pipe using micro-tunneling methods, with construction expected to last about 18 months. The board discussed project logistics, traffic management, safety plans, and community impact, including accommodations for local businesses and schools. Additionally, the board authorized bidding for the Millwood sidewalk improvement project estimated at $1.8 million, with a $500,000 multimodal grant applied. Other procurement actions included authorizing bids for municipal solid waste services, surveying services, and purchasing arc flash studies for the Millwood water treatment plant. The board also approved contract extensions, personnel promotions, and accepted donations for the Chappaqua Performing Arts Center. A public hearing was held for the 50 North Greeley multi-family development, with the board deciding to close the hearing but keep the written comment period open until June 5, 2026. Overall, the meeting involved significant discussions and approvals related to infrastructure projects, contract solicitations, and community planning.
