Community Profile

Pledge Summary

The Town of New Castle retains a bucolic feel and low-density residential character. Chappaqua and Millwood continue to serve as the Town’s main centers of retail activity and community gathering. Through the purchase or acquisition of a number of undeveloped properties, the Town has dedicated over 200 acres for open space and recreational use in New Castle, enhancing both active and passive recreational opportunities and fortifying the Town’s natural condition. The preservation of these aspects of the Town – its residential character; bucolic, natural, peaceful sense of place; and healthy environment – remain a primary focus. These features, along with the excellent schools and the Town’s proximity to New York City, are the aspects of New Castle that attract new residents and are most prized by community members.
