Mayor Wallace Moves Forward with Memorial Field.

MOUNT VERNON, NY: (August 13, 2019) – Mayor Wallace has made available the bid package for potential vendors to tour the site of Memorial Field and submit sealed bids to clean up the site, in accordance with the directives of the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). Bid packages are available until August 18, 2019 at the City Clerk’s Office for interested vendors. All interested bids must be submitted by August 20, 2019 at 9:30 PM. A site walk-through is scheduled for today, August 13, 2019 at 11:00 AM “This project will start moving quickly,” said Wallace. “The past administration and others have used this project as a political football for far too long. It’s time to get the site cleaned up so the County can start construction. I will reach out to DEC to attempt to avoid the hundreds of thousands of dollars in penalties that inaction and political grandstanding has cost this City over the last 10 years.” All parties can now work together which leaves work to begin at the end of August and handed over to the County for construction in time for an opening next summer. “Upon being sworn in as Mayor, ending the drama at Memorial Field has been one of my first priorities. We’re moving Memorial Field forward. No more wasting time. Let’s get to work,” said Wallace.

*Support of the MVPL Golf Outing is tax deductible. All proceeds to benefit MVPL Teen Lab

This is an exciting time for Westchester's Central Library.  Over the past six years the Mount Vernon Public Library has accomplished so much and plans to do much more. Of course, none this would be possible without the generous support from our community. This year we  are raising funds to construct a place just for teens that will help fill a void that prohibits some of youth from engaging in advantages offered through the use of computer technology. Our new Teen Lab will offer our young people a place to learn, create and grow. With your help we can do our part to close the digital divide. 

Consider joining us at any one or all of our Golf Outing festivities. We'd be glad to have you and our youth will benefit greatly from your support.

Remember - we couldn't do this without you. Your support is crucial to us making our goal. From all of us here at the Mount Vernon Public Library, thank you. We appreciate your time and support.
