Dear Friends and Member,

Today is Census Day! By April 1, every home will have received their invitation to complete the Census and this year, you can respond online. Your response to the Census is crucial in determining everything from congressional representation to funding for infrastructure, education, public health and more. You can fill it out without having to leave your house. Make our community count.

We are constantly updating our list of open businesses. Visit our website for an up-to-date list.

NEWS
New York State and Westchester County have enacted emergency regulations to reduce the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19). Governor Cuomo has issued an executive order requiring non-essential businesses to implement work-from-home policies. Gyms, theaters, barber shops, hair and nail salons, tattoo shops and other businesses that require close contact will be closed until further notice. Restaurants, although not open for dine-in, are essential businesses. They are able to provide food delivery, take out and/or curbside pick up to keep the community nourished.
The City of White Plains has dedicated a number of "takeout/delivery" parking spaces in areas of the city near restaurants. The spaces are free and have a 10 minute limit to ensure turnover and availability. Just look for the blue “Curbside Pickup Area” meter bags.

The New York State Liquor Authority has temporarily reduced their regulations. You can now order wine, beer, and spirits from restaurants for curbside pickup, takeout, and delivery. Just bring them home before you drink.
