Greenburgh Town Board To Remember Late Commissioner

GREENBURGH, NY — The former commissioner of community resources for Greenburgh, Barbara Perry, will be remembered at Wednesday’s Town Board meeting.

Supervisor Paul Feiner said the meeting will be Wednesday with a tribute to Barbara Perry who died July 15.

The tribute will take place at 7:30 p.m.

Perry served as the first female commissioner of the Department of Community Resources, leading it when construction of a second floor at the Theodore Young Community Center was built.

She lobbied the state for funds for the addition, which enabled the center to provide patrons and children with additional programming, including a dance studio, classroom and social programs.

Prior to being appointed commissioner, Perry served as assistant to the commissioner to the town’s parks department.

Feiner said Perry was a special woman who was passionate about the community and the center.

“She spoke out on matters she felt strongly about and wasn’t afraid to express herself,” he said. “She did a tremendous amount of good during her life and changed many lives in a positive manner.”

The Town Board will meet at Town Hall, 177 Hillside Ave.
