White Plains, NY — The Westchester County Board of Legislators on Monday passed a measure encouraging the hiring of businesses owned by service-disabled veterans in all County contracts.

The Westchester County Board of Legislators passed Legislation on Monday aimed at giving Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOB) more of the County’s future contracts across all County Departments, Including Westchester County Community College. The legislation, which was first proposed by Legislator Margaret Cunzio (C) Mount Pleasant, North Castle, Pleasantville, requires departments and offices of the County to encourage the participation of Certified SDVOB’s in the county contracting process, and to document efforts to do so. It does not establish a fixed “quota” requirement. Westchester County’s Office of Veterans Affairs will prepare and submit an annual report in cooperation with the various county departments to be submitted by June 1st each year to the County Executive and the Board of Legislators.
