The Village of Pelham Manor Board of Trustees Feb. 28 passed a local law that increases exemptions for veterans paying property taxes.
Mayor Jennifer Monachino Lapey said the board was taking a step similar to other municipalities in Westchester County.
A public hearing was held on the law and closed a minute later when no one spoke. The board voted unanimously to pass the law, as Lapey said, “in recognition of tremendous service.”
