Reese Berman Reflects on Her Accomplishments During Her Years as Supervisor
I ran for Town Board in 2001 and for Supervisor in 2005 and 2007 on a consistent platform of three main issues:
I consider innovations and improvements in these areas to be among my most significant accomplishments.
Sustainable development must continue to be encouraged and include more affordable housing, housing for senior residents, and more diverse housing choices. Sewer capacity for downtown Armonk must be increased in order to provide for necessary growth. The development of significant commercial projects that will have major impact on downtown Armonk, such as Armonk Square and a new supermarket, should be encouraged and monitored to assure that they can be sustained by the area’s infrastructure. Finally, priority should be given to filling the newly created position of Town Administrator. The services of a qualified Administrator are necessary to assure the most efficient and effective government for North Castle. Thank you to the residents of North Castle for electing me to serve you, to my current Town Board for their collaborative spirit, and to the employees of our Town for their hard work. I wish the Supervisor elect, Bill Weaver, and the new Town Board much success in the upcoming years.

In this, my last newsletter article, I will focus on my accomplishments during my years as Supervisor from 2006 – 2009 and conclude with a brief review of the challenges facing the incoming Supervisor and Town Board.
The new Supervisor and Town Board will have many challenges. The most pressing will be to balance the budget with declining revenues and increasing expenses while continuing to provide the Town with needed services.
