Council adopts multiple resolutions: BID extension, garage contracts, grants and appointments

Council moved through a series of consent and action items and recorded unanimous approvals on multiple measures. "Hearing none opposed, local law number 3 of 2026 unanimously passes," the presiding officer declared after a motion to extend the Peekskill Downtown Business Improvement District through Sept. 30, 2031.

Among other measures the council authorized awards for James Street and Nelson Avenue garage improvement contracts to Specialty Construction Systems Inc. (total not to exceed $2,339,472), accepted a $3,000,000 Green Innovation Grant Program award for riverfront flood mitigation (with a local match transfer up to $333,134), approved a $200,000 CDBG award for Lockwood Drive culvert replacement (with a local match) and adopted the Section 8 annual plan for 2027. Several advisory-board appointments were also carried.
