Today's riddle: What do evil hens lay? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. The 2026 Trailblazers in Real Estate (cityandstateny.com) — New Rochelle's development commissioner, Adam Salgado, is highlighted for driving a pipeline of more than 11,000 new homes, nearly one‑fifth affordable, and helping nudge local rents down since 2020. His work includes a redesigned train station tied to Penn Station Access, expanded down‑payment assistance, and a 126‑unit affordable condo project. These initiatives could significantly shape housing, transportation, and downtown growth for New Rochelle residents.
2. Autumn Glow (feverup.com) — This fall, New Rochelle residents can experience the Autumn Glow Festival at Glen Island Park, a nighttime lantern walk inspired by Chinese traditions.
