Mayor Godinez

Mayor Vianney Godinez with Assistant

Say hello to Vianney Godinez, the “Mayor” at our annual Civics Day, sponsored by the Boys and Girls Club of New Rochelle.  Vianney is the 2023 Youth of the Year and is looking ahead to a career in either law or nursing. She is also the first (but hopefully not the last!) woman to sit behind the Mayor’s desk at City Hall.  A true pleasure to welcome her, as well as the other participants in Civics Day, who assumed the roles of various City and School officials.

State of the City 2023 – A Golden Hour

Last night, I had the privilege of delivering my final State of the City Address to a full house at New Rochelle City Hall.  Please read or view the speech to see why I believe this is New Rochelle’s “golden hour, in which all things seem possible.”  Special thanks to our communications team for putting together this wonderful video, with images connected to the speech’s words and themes.
