Land Conservancy promotes Dave Prosser

The Pound Ridge Land Conservancy has announced the promotion of Dave Prosser to director of land stewardship. 

Since joining the PRLC in April 2023, Prosser has demonstrated exceptional leadership and commitment to PRLC’s work in land conservation and environmental education, the group said.

In his new position, Prosser will lead stewardship and grant writing for PRLC, manage all volunteer programs, and oversee the care and maintenance of 20 preserves with over 12 miles of trails. 

“In less than two years with PRLC, Dave has grown tremendously in the scope of his work he is doing for us as he extends his already-strong skill set with experience in Pound Ridge,” said Jack Wilson, president of the group’s board. “We rely on Dave’s leadership and judgment in areas far beyond his initial responsibilities and we want his title to reflect the expansion of his role with PRLC.”

Prosser is enthusiastic about his new role.

“I am honored to step into this leadership position and am eager to continue working with our dedicated board and the community to promote environmental stewardship and land conservation,” he said.

The promotion comes as the land conservancy celebrates its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of land preservation and environmental advocacy.

Ribbon cut on affordable housing acquisition

Feb 21

Officials cut a ribbon on new affordable housing at 123 Valley Road, Katonah.

The property has four small buildings with 12 individual dwelling units. It was acquired by Blue Mountain Valley Road LLC, and is owned and managed by the Blue Mountain Housing Development Corp.

Blue Mountain’s committee members are all volunteers and also serve as members of the Bedford Housing Committee. Their mission is to preserve and increase the number of affordable housing units to meet the needs of the town of Bedford.

Aligned with this goal, the property at 123 Valley Road was acquired from a private owner to ensure that the units remain affordable. All current residents will remain in their homes. Going forward, all tenants will have to demonstrate income eligibility, and future tenants must be income-qualified to rent there.

This important project to preserve affordable housing opportunities in Bedford was made possible with the assistance of Westchester County, which provided grant funds of $2,126,135, TD Bank, which facilitated Blue Mountain in assuming the existing mortgage from the seller, and by the town of Bedford, which provided $106,000 in American Rescue Plan Act funding to complete the funding required for the project.
