ArdsleyToday.com

Some residents of Ardsley have started an online NewsLetter about the Village of Ardsley.  There is really good information about schools, they have posted the Agenda for the Zoning Board of Appeals, local news, what’s going on with famous residents who live in the Village of have graduated from the schools.  They are inviting the community to email them with news.

They join several of the communities around Westchester County where homeowners want information readily available for the community.

I have included this site in the left panel of this blog with a list of these sites around Westchester County, under Local Newspapers.
