Supervisor Tony Colavita Announces Bid for Reelection with Town Councilmen Glenn Bellitto and Joseph Dooley, County Legislator Sheila Marcotte, and Other Running Mates
June 22, 2011: Supervisor Anthony S. Colavita announced his bid for reelection as Eastchester town supervisor last week, accompanied by his running mates Town Councilman Glenn Bellitto, Town Councilman Joseph Dooley, Town Clerk Linda Doherty, and Receiver of Taxes Rocco Cacciola, who will also be on the Republican ticket.
In addition, the two town justices, Domenick Porco and Janet Calano, and County Legislator Sheila Marcotte will be running on the same ticket.
In making the announcement Supervisor Colavita recited an extensive list of accomplishments over the last two years, including the "remake" of the Mill Road/White Plains intersection and an excellent tax record despite skyrocketing mandates and plummeting revenues.
"Many elected officials would be satisfied with the record of accomplishments that we have accomplished," Colavita stated, "but that has never been our way. We will continue to make Eastchester better together as our community progresses."
He also discussed the ticket's vision for the future of the town and its two villages. "Tough economic times call for competent leadership," Colavita added, "and that is exactly what this ticket will provide the good citizens of Eastchester, Bronxville, and Tuckahoe."
Councilman Glenn Bellitto focused on his accomplishments as a town board member and leader in our community. He pledged to continue his hard work and determination to make Eastchester even better. "I want to do my part to maintain and enhance the quality of life in Eastchester, Bronxville, and Tuckahoe, while keeping taxes down. We need to continue to look at ways for our three communities to share expenses to lower taxes."
Councilman Joseph Dooley, who was recently appointed to the town board, pledged his commitment to use his professional background and community involvement to make wise decisions for the community. He stated, "I'm honored to have this opportunity to serve the Town of Eastchester and look forward to leveraging my background and abilities in helping to push forward the great work being accomplished by the administration. I look forward to a vigorous campaign, meeting with residents, and finding out their concerns."

Government & History Directory
Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
