Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins has renewed the Good Neighbor Policy, emphasizing the county's dedication to transparency and community involvement. Originally introduced in 2018, this executive order aims to ensure that local municipalities and residents have a significant role in decisions affecting their communities.

Jenkins stated, "The Good Neighbor Policy reflects Westchester County’s dedication to open government and partnership with our municipalities. By renewing this executive order, we are reaffirming our promise to include local voices in decisions that affect their neighborhoods, ensuring that no significant action on county-owned land proceeds without input from the people who live there."

He further added, "Good government listens, adapts and prioritizes its people. With this policy, we’re saying loud and clear: Westchester County values your voice."

The renewal of this policy is seen as a step towards reinforcing community engagement in governmental decision-making processes.
