Mt. Pleasant Declares State of Emergency After Learning of Plans to House Migrants--May 26, 2023 Martin Wilbur

Mount Pleasant Supervisor Carl Fulgenzi

Mount Pleasant Supervisor Carl Fulgenzi declared a state of emergency Friday over the migrant crisis, believed to be the first municipality in Westchester to take that step

Fulgenzi issued the declaration just before noon, saying that he felt compelled to act because he learned of an organization within the town preparing to accept migrants.

The town later disclosed that the Pleasantville Cottage School had been making arrangements to house migrants.

The supervisor mentioned that Mount Pleasant does not have the resources to deal with an influx of people. He also said housing a large number of people violates the town’s zoning code, whether it be at a hotel, where visitors cannot stay for more than 30 days consecutively, or another facility where there are other requirements.
