The New York State Conference of Mayors (NYCOM) has selected the City of Peekskill as one of four winners of NYCOM’s Local Government Achievement Award. The award program, in its 29th year, recognized the Peekskill Bay Greenway project, which is Peekskill’s public recreation waterfront, including Scenic Hudson Park at Peekskill Landing and the Southern Waterfront Park and Trailway.

In commenting on the award, NYCOM President Thomas Roach stated: “The City of Peekskill is to be commended for this excellent example of a community taking advantage of its natural assets. This award recognizes that local officials have been and are continuing to work diligently to improve their communities and the quality of life for their residents in innovative and efficient ways. I would like to congratulate Mayor Frank Catalina on a job well done.”

The award was presented on May 1, 2016, at NYCOM’s Annual Meeting in Saratoga Springs. NYCOM represents 580 cities and villages in New York State and has been in existence since 1910.
