Bronxville Voters Split on Flood Mitigation, Field Renovation

Bronxville voters Thursday overwhelmingly approved a flood mitigation plan in a referendum vote, but narrowly turned down a plan to improve a sports field.

The Journal News reports the $900,000 flood mitigation plan passed by more than 800 votes, but the multi-million dollar field replacement proposal was defeated by fewer than 20 votes.

Bronxville is slated to receive millions dollars from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to help pay for the flood mitigation project.
