We offer support for the County’s most vulnerable residents by funding Federally Qualified Health Centers, helping children with special needs, providing safety net services and programs to address food insecurity, address the digital divide, workforce development, all while also supporting arts and cultural programs and addressing flooding across Westchester. This is a balanced, fiscally responsible budget that assists all residents. -- Westchester County Executive George Latimer, Signing of the 2024 Budget
Every County department is hard at work for the nearly one million people who call Westchester home.
Purple Loosestrife is an herbaceous, multi-stemmed wetland perennial up to two to three meters tall, becoming woody at base. Has opposite leaves with smooth margins, and a terminal spike of showy, pinkish-purple flowers.
Although it may be controlled mechanically and by chemicals, it has been effectively controlled biologically by the release of beetles and weevils.
To learn more about it, and to see additional photographs, go to Lower Hudson PRISM.
