County Legislator Nolan Works To 'Improve The Safety Of His Community'

BRONXVILLE, NY — Without community leaders, Bronxville and Yonkers wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Katie McGrath, a southern Westchester reader who nominated James Nolan.
