Letter from Parents of School-Aged Children in Support of Bill Primps for Village Justice
To the Editor:
Mar. 14, 2018: We, the undersigned parents of Bronxville school-aged children, write in support of William Primps’s candidacy for village justice. We deeply appreciate Bill's vast experience serving our village and believe that by electing him, the interests of all village residents will be served.
In addition, from our perspective as parents, we favor Bill because of his years working with the local police force and his ongoing service as counsel to the village ethics board. He is the candidate with both the experience and wisdom to administer justice to our younger residents in a way that tempers accountability and law enforcement with remedies that minimize long-term stigma. Bill's credibility from his work with our police department and experience addressing perennial and new threats to our cherished community ensure that public safety will be enhanced while Bronxville's values are served.
We respectfully ask that you join us in supporting Bill Primps for Bronxville village justice. In our small village, every vote counts.

Letters Directory
Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
