Today's riddle: What do an island and the letter "t" have in common? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Bedford Planning Board welcomes one project, another? Not so much (therecorder.org) — Bedford's Planning Board just advanced a modest 10‑unit apartment project on Adams Street in Bedford Hills while sharply questioning a much larger five‑story proposal nearby. Board members praised the smaller building's fit and minor variances but warned the taller Mark II project could overwhelm the village, raising concerns about height, massing, parking, and zoning variances.
• Investing in Bedford before problems arise (halstonmedia.com) — Bedford officials outline a wide-ranging push to upgrade local infrastructure, from wireless coverage and water systems to sidewalks, playgrounds, and road safety projects. The town has secured millions in grants, updated its wireless law, and created a 10‑year capital plan to keep Bedford's roads, parks, technology, and public facilities reliable without over-relying on borrowing.
• How Michael Kelly From 'Lioness' Became the Big Star of a Small Town (nytimes.com) — Actor Michael Kelly, now a Bedford resident after leaving Manhattan, has become a familiar, down‑to‑earth presence around town despite his high‑profile roles in "House of Cards" and "Lioness." He shares how he shifted from aspiring lawyer to Emmy‑nominated actor while settling his family into Bedford Village life and embracing the small‑town community.
