INTRODUCTION
MESSAGE FROM THE BUSINESS COUNCIL OF WESTCHESTER
DISCOVER THE VALLEY’S BUSINESS ADVANTAGES
The Business Council of Westchester, the county’s business advocacy and membership organization, is proud to present this annual guide. With the 2016 edition, we are introducing you to all that makes liv- ing in Westchester, Orange, Rockland, and Putnam Counties so enjoyable.
We are happy to have the support of the Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS®, allowing us to develop a broader
regional focus within this publication. Together, we invite you to step through the gateway to the breathtaking Hudson Valley area. I know firsthand about Westchester’s scenic beauty, its broad range of residential, education, and employment opportunities, and its many cultural, historical, and recreational opportunities, all of which make Westchester one of the premier places to live and work in the United States.
Our diverse business presence has enriched the social and cultural fabric of Westchester’s communities while contributing to its economic strength. As you will see in this guide, there are also many great advantages to living in the neighboring counties of Orange, Rockland, and Putnam. The Busi- ness Council of Westchester’s more than 1,000 business and professional members extend a very warm welcome to the region!
Sincerely,
Dr. Marsha Gordon, President/CEO The Business Council of Westchester
