Welcome to Buchanan, NY
Mayor's Corner
OPEN LETTER TO ALL VILLAGE RESIDENTS
From Al Donahue, Mayor
Last month's Board Meeting was well attended by the usual village residents who have been present at our meetings since April. Responding to the now common and expected unsigned poison-pen letter, they came to vent misguided hate and insults at a candidate for the Administrator's position. Assuming they had inside information, later proven to be erroneous, they attacked Michael Snyder who was present for the sole purpose of thanking the Board for considering him. This letter was nothing more than the author(s) (not named but known by all) personal attack on the character of myself and Board members who supported my choice. Let it be known we were not, and never will be, intimated by the rude and disruptive behavior of supporters of the anonymous letter writer(s).
The lovely Village of Buchanan is situated in the northwestern corner of Westchester County on the eastern bank of the historic Hudson River. Located within the Town of Cortlandt, the village covers 1.4 square miles. Approximately 20 miles from White Plains, Buchanan is accessible via Routes 9 and 9A, and via Amtrak and Metro north railroads.
Rich in history and amenities, visitors and residents enjoy a thriving shopping district, parks, recreational facilities and more. A wonderful place to live and work, Buchanan is home to Entergy, which provides electricity to the entire region.
