Port Chester boards set sewer bonds, zoning variances, and IDA project reviews on July agendas
Port Chester's village boards convened three public meetings in the first half of July, covering major infrastructure borrowing, zoning variances, and economic development items. All three meetings are listed as agenda-only — minutes have not yet been published — so the items below reflect what was scheduled for action or discussion, not confirmed outcomes. Residents should consult the official minutes once posted to verify what was decided.
Board of Trustees — July 6, 2026
The Board of Trustees agenda centered on two bond resolutions totaling more than $21 million for sewer infrastructure. The larger item is a $16,100,000 bond resolution for reconstruction of the sanitary sewer system — Phase 3. A second bond resolution of $5,250,000 would fund N Main St & Comly Ave sewer pump station improvements.
The agenda also included a contract award for the 2026 paving program: BID No. 2026-07 was slated to be awarded to Laura Li Industries, LLC for $1,643,130, with an associated capital project (No. 2026-302) established at $1,760,000.
A public hearing was scheduled on amending Village Zoning Chapter 345 to add Fair Share Mitigation Payments. The board was also set to approve recent meeting minutes.
Because minutes are not yet published, it is not confirmed whether the bond resolutions, the paving contract award, or the zoning amendment were adopted as proposed.
Industrial Development Agency — July 8, 2026
The Port Chester IDA agenda included a resolution to establish a fee for project assignments under the PCIDA Assignment Policy. The board was scheduled to review a capital stack enhancement for 131 Irving Avenue, also known as 44 Broad St.
Additional agenda items covered resolutions for supplemental and D&O insurance and an AudioEye ADA compliance tool. The Village Manager was listed to give a presentation on public infrastructure projects, and the board was set to receive updates on Titanium projects and the Embassy application due diligence.
No outcomes are confirmed; minutes have not been published.
