News from Town Hall
Greetings!

We are living through an unprecedented moment and one that is filled with great uncertainty and fear. I urge all of us to remain calm and to stay connected. We will get through this as a community and a society at large.

Following is some relevant information to keep you informed. Things are changing frequently, and I will continue to provide updates as they come to me from the County Department of Health and the County Board of Supervisors.

As always, please feel free to reach out to me at pcipkowski@gmail.com or 646-373-5002 if you have any questions or concerns.

Most importantly, please take care of yourself and your loved ones.
