Letter To The Editor: Levenberg Has Experience, Knowledge

To the Editor:

Our current Ossining Town Supervisor, Dana Levenberg, has the experience and knowledge needed to make things happen. That’s why the Pace Land Use Law Center honored Dana with their Groundbreakers Award for her insightful leadership and collaborative work with the Village of Ossining on projects such as the Millwood Ossining GO Bicycle and Pedestrian Connectivity Plan (MOGO). This ongoing multi-year land-use plan will connect bicycle and pedestrian pathways to local parks, historic places, business destinations, and the North County Trailway.

Dana’s insightful leadership has brought over $1.2 million in grant money to the Town which she has put to good use for projects that impact the quality of life for Ossining residents. These include green initiatives related to urban forestry and climate adaptation, as well as charging stations for cars, a new food scrap recycling program, and continual upgrades to the Town parks that we all share.

My personal experience with Dana begins before her first term as Supervisor, when she was the Chief of Staff for State Assemblywoman Sandy Galef. I met Dana while planning the future Sing Sing Prison Museum. Dana understands how this museum will aid regional development and create jobs, and she helped access $3 million of New York State funding based on these expected outcomes. In her role as supervisor, she has continued to work towards the museum’s expected opening next year, which will bring Ossining into the national conversation on justice issues. Dana’s “can-do” attitude and visionary leadership are exciting –she is an undeniable champion of our Town.

I hope you will vote for Dana as the Democratic candidate for Ossining Town Supervisor. Democratic Primary Day is June 22, and early voting starts June 12th.
