My community loves to gather at the Peekskill Waterfront which has a beautiful view of the Hudson River. Our downtown area is also busy because most of our restaurants, healthcare services, small businesses, pharmacies, and food markets are located there. The children of our community enjoy playing in our parks that are frequently visited by people outside of our county.
My community is predominantly Hispanic. Peekskill has a rich history, including being the first city in New York State to elect an African American mayor in 1984. Our artistic community is something Peekskill is very fond of and our artist population keeps growing each year. The architecture in our downtown sites like the Paramount and the Peekskill Coffee House are staples.
Residents in my community work all over the place. I tend to interact more with the immigrant Hispanic community so I know that a lot of our community members work in farms, factories, restaurants, shopping centers, pizzerias etc. There are a number of small businesses in our area that employees our community members. The schools in our district are also popular employers. Growing up, the Indian Point nuclear power plant was something we were all aware of. Our city would send us brochures or general information about what to do in case of an emergency. The power plant closed in April of last year.
My community is not as wealthy as other towns in Westchester County. There is an influx of wealthy residents coming in from the city and rent is skyrocketing.
