ICYMI 9/2/2026 BOARD MEETING VIDEO
The video for the re-play of the 9/2 board of trustees meeting can be found at Regular Meeting
You are encouraged to watch it; there were a number of interesting items concerning the Cortese/425 S. Riverside site (he won't be ready by the next pb meeting), Trustee Simon recused himself from the pigeon law, (that is still being worked on) and for those who asked: here is the AKRF TOD analysis that the village undertook in 2021. The photos of the massive density urban-like housing projects envisioned are fascinating. There was much more to the meeting and hopefully additional items will be online today--but many of us have a wake to attend: EverythingCroton: AGAIN--ANOTHER REQUEST FOR A RE-POST--2021 TOD ANALYSIS OF PARCELS PREPARED BY AKRF FOR THE VILLAGE--CROTON POINT AVENUE AREA, HARMON

OFFICIAL GOFUND ME --MURDER VICTIM ERIN PIACENTI
There is an official GoFundMe verified for Erin Piacenti, which was established by her family to support her 5-month-old daughter, Madison. However, there does not appear to be a joint fundraiser or a public GoFundMe campaign for the second victim, Tak Kam. [1]
Fundraiser DetailsErin Piacenti's Fundraiser: In lieu of flowers, her family created the Official GoFundMe for Erin Piacenti to provide financial security for her infant daughter. Erin, a 32-year-old Bank of America executive, was tragically killed in the random Times Square attack on August 31, 2026, which occurred on her first day back from maternity leave. As of September 3, 2026, the campaign has raised over $500,000 toward its $750,000 goal. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The Second Victim: The other individual injured in the unprovoked attack was 68-year-old Tak Kam, who was visiting his son in New York City. He sustained stab wounds but was hospitalized at Bellevue in stable condition and is expected to survive. No crowdsourced fundraisers have been publicly advertised for him at this time. [1, 2]
