Created in the 1930s, the mission of the Westchester County
Planning Department is to develop and implement policies,
programs, and projects that protect and improve the quality of life
in Westchester County and result in more livable and sustainable
communities. Although there are not many series that
currently make up this record group, those that exist document,
though Planning Board minutes, how the department carried out its
mission from the late 1930s through the early 1970s; as well as
some specific records relating to a few growth issues within the
county, such as the construction of Interstate 684 during the
1960s. |
