WPCNR THE POWER NEWS. From Town of Greenburgh Supervisor Paul Feiner. March 15, 2010: I received the following update from the police chief. I'm disappointed that progress has been so slow and will be asking Con Ed to assign more resources to Greenburgh. (6,500 are without power). We apologize for the inconveniences.
Please be advised that we are opening up the Theodore Young Community Center tonight as a shelter for those without power. The phone of the center (32 Manhattan Ave) is 989 3600.
If you know of an elderly resident/disabled resident who you are worried about who you can't contact and who may be out of power - please advise and we'll check up on them. I am very sorry that so many Greenburgh residents are being inconvenienced during this storm and appreciate what you are experiencing.Please feel free to call me on my cell: 438 1343 (I don't have power at home so my home phone isn't working).
Here are the road closures of of 3:30 P.M. in the Town of Greenburgh:
We are coordinating with all Fire Departments, Department of Public Works and a representative from Con Edison from our Emergency Operations Center. We have made some progress in opening roads that have been closed since March 13. Power Company Crews from out of state are now arriving and are being assigned to local problems. Almost every area of the town has experienced substantial damage to homes and vehicles.
Unfortunately Con Edison reports 6,500 customers in Greenburgh are without power. We have assigned extra officers to patrol these areas. New reports of trees and wires down have slowed down which will allow all resources involved to concentrate on previously reported incidents.
