Hanauer Seeks Fifth Term as Ossining Village Mayor

Bill Hanauer will seek re-election to a fifth term as Ossining village's mayor. 

From his press release: 

Mayor Hanauer said that, “From cutting the ribbons to opening the 
Aquatic Center and the Ossining Public Library in early 2007, through 
the adaptive reuse as affordable condos and spa of the Ossining Bank and 
Trust Building and the construction of the Red Lion affordable apartments 
on Academy and State, to the recent opening of Avalon Ossining, the 
construction of a new building on the We Can Do It property, and the 
restoration of the A. L. Myers Building on Main Street, the Village has 
enjoyed a true renaissance. This during the worst economy since the GreatDepression of the 1930s!“

We have continued a sustained period of unprecedented growth 
through the construction of new homes for current residents of all levels of 
financial resources and, by attracting new residents and businesses, have 
spread the tax base and kept property tax increases to a minimum.”

Mayor Hanauer pointed out that Harbor Square will, at last, break 
ground this Spring, and will not only meet the requirements of FEMA and 
the NYS Department of Economic Conservation, but will fulfill all of the 
goals of the 2009 Comprehensive Plan for the Waterfront by providing 
recreational, residential, business, open space, water-dependent, and water-related uses, including a restaurant, and extending RiverWalk.
 
The 2013 Bicentennial Celebration, Harborfest, and the Ossining 
in 3D outdoor sculpture exhibit demonstrated the Village’s potential as 
a destination for tourists; and, thanks to the support of Assemblywoman 
Sandy Galef and Senator David Carlucci, the prospects for an Historic Sing Sing have been revived. 

“In my next term,” Mayor Hanauer stated, “working with the 
Trustees, the administration, the employees, and with public input, we 
will consolidate the gains of the past few years with the construction of 
environmentally sustainable mixed-use buildings of significant quality 
architecture and create a new village green on the parking lots at Main 
and Spring, calm traffic, and make our downtown a pedestrian-friendly, 
dynamic, and desirable place to live, recreate, and do business.

“I hope the voters of Ossining will support the continued renaissance 
of our Village, will participate in the development of a new downtown plan, 
and will re-elect me to another term.”
