Eastchester-Bronxville Road Repair Cash

Tuckahoe, Eastchester and Bronxville will be getting hundreds-of-thousands of dollars to help fix the roads. The money is coming from the State of New York. Officials say and Eastchester and Tuckahoe will be receiving more money than they got last year.

Eastchester is set to get more than $117,000. That is about 28% more than the town received last year.
