| The Greenburgh Town Board appreciates comments from residents at its open meetings. Recently, comments have been made that, whether intended or not, were hurtful to other members of the public because the comment perpetuated racial or religious tropes and stereotypes. We believe it is appropriate to remind everyone that bigotry and hate have no place in Greenburgh. As we move forward we will work together to educate each other around this issue. Our goal is to maintain a robust and constructive dialogue. We are confident that this Town can continue to have these dialogues. |

MOMENT OF SILENCE
In memory of the people in Ukraine killed during Russia's invasion and relentless intentional targeted bombing of civilians in apartment buildings, hospitals, train stations, schools and children centers in an effort to destroy Ukraine and its people, who are forced to fight for their land, their freedom, and general democratic priniciples. May they rest in peace and peace be restored to Ukraine.
In memory of the 1,011,363+ individual victims of COVID-19 who have died in the United States, 6,353,692+ deaths worldwide, each leaving family members and friends too soon. |
