Incinerator Demolition Slated to Begin
BY STEPHEN E. LIPKEN
Mamaroneck Town Supervisor Jaine Elkind Eney began the October 7 Town Board meeting by stating she attended a recent meeting of the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Sanitation Commission. “The main topic of conversation was the planned demolition of the Incinerator Building at the Maxwell Avenue Yard,” Eney stated. The deteriorating municipal incinerator, built in 1938 and taken out of commission in the 1970s, is slated for demolition and asbestos removal at an estimated cost of $1.6 million.
Eney went on to say that the Town of Mamaroneck Fall Festival was held at Memorial Park on October 3, featuring a wide selection of local food trucks, a pumpkin patch, maze, touch-a-truck station, bounce houses, face painting, adoptable puppies and live musical entertainment.
She then announced that an aluminum educational research catamaran, the R/V Brewer is being constructed by Derecktor Shipyards in Mamaroneck, measuring 50 feet long x 23 feet wide, enabling an additional 10,000 students each year to learn, explore, conduct research and imagine futures in science, conservation and the maritime industries, under the auspices of Jack Brewer.
Next, meeting as a Board of Fire Commissioners, Town Fire Department claims amounting to $3,142 were certified by Fire Chief Alex Rapp and submitted to the Comptroller’s Office for payment.
Town Comptroller Tracy Yogman requested action by the Town Board to extend the Ambulance District Contracts with Mamaroneck Emergency Medical Services (MEMS) and Volunteer Ambulance Corps (VAC) through April 30, 2027.

Robson presented a memo from the Recreation Department regarding Julia B. Fee, School of Rock and Larchmont Nurseries donations of a bounce house, music, pumpkin patch and maze for the Fall Festival.
A memo from Town Engineer Rob Wasp requested the Town Board approve the consultant proposal from Barton & Loguidice for design development of the Roundabout at the intersection of Madison Avenue and New Jefferson Street.
