Letter from the Supervisor

Welcome to the Town of Bedford.

I am very proud of what is offered here – thanks to the tremendous spirit of community and volunteerism shared by Bedford’s residents.

Your Town government provides services to the community with its full-time Police Department, Department of Public Works, Building Department, Planning Department, Clerks Office, Finance Office, Tax and Assessment Offices, and Recreation and Parks Department. We are proud of their work and responsiveness to the residents and businesses of the Town.

The Town of Bedford contains three unincorporated hamlets: Bedford Hills, Bedford Village, and Katonah as well as areas outside the hamlet zip codes, sometimes referred to as “Bedford Corners.”  Each hamlet has its own identity with a rich history and wonderful resources. You will be amazed at the depth and scope of what is offered and how many ways you may get involved. Each hamlet features an independent library, which is open to all. Each hamlet is served by its own fire department, whose volunteer members meet the hamlet’s needs for fire protection and work together to protect all Bedford residents. Bedford is also tremendously grateful for the volunteers of the Katonah/Bedford Hills Volunteer Ambulance Corps.

All Bedford residents are welcome to use the facilities of our three town parks for swimming, picnicking, and a broad range of other activities. We are fortunate to have scores of museums, nature trails, horse trails, conservancy organizations, and service clubs and organizations working tirelessly and selflessly for our community.

I am here to serve the community in partnership with you. Please feel free to contact me any time you have any problems, concerns, or suggestions. You may also wish to meet with me, so please call to set up an appointment in person, by phone, or by zoom.

Warm regards,
Ellen
