Community Center of Northern Westchester moves to temporary location

By JEFF MORRIS 

The Community Center of Northern Westchester has temporarily relocated to 669 Bedford Road, Bedford Hills.

The move was necessitated by the start of construction to expand CCNW’s facility in Katonah.

“For 28 years, CCNW has cared for thousands of neighbors with food, clothing, and programs from our 3,500-square-foot facility,” the organization announced. “Our operations have grown to meet the needs of the community, and it’s time to renovate and expand our home at 84 Bedford Road in Katonah.”

CCNW said the temporary relocation was needed to ensure a safer, faster project. It will be occupying the Bedford Hills building, on Route 117 near Green Lane, for approximately one year.

The Bedford Planning Board granted final approval for CCNW’s plans to expand the existing building last April, and site plan approval for the temporary location in Bedford Hills in September.

The long-delayed plan for CCNW to expand was facilitated in 2023 when the town was able to arrange for the parcel of land it was leasing to the organization to be conveyed to it by the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, which owned the land. That allowed the town to develop a long-term lease with CCNW.

The plan will more than double the size of the current building.

CCNW plans to have donations, food pantry, clothing boutique, some ancillary related services, and administrative offices at the temporary location, but will not be doing any classes or other instructional activities or skills training there.

Donation hours remain the same: Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Thursday, from noon to 6 p.m.; and Saturday, from 10 a.m to 1 p.m. The phone number and mailing address remain unchanged: 914-232-6572, and 84 Bedford Road, Katonah, NY 10536.
