Rye Brook, NY Mayors from Westchester’s largest cities told members of Westchester’s largest residential real estate company that the county’s cities are thriving and on the cusp of an economic development revival.

Yonkers mayor Mike Spano, New Rochelle mayor Noam Bramson and White Plains mayor Tom Roach addressed 100 real estate professionals from Houlihan Lawrence at its offices at 800 Westchester Ave. on September 16th.
