Voters approved a proposal that will allow for New Castle Fire District No. 1 to purchase the Chappaqua Animal Hospital site, a property that has been deemed vital to any future expansion of the Bedford Road Firehouse.

More than three months after voters rejected a proposal to expand the Bedford Road Firehouse in Chappaqua, they will decide whether to approve purchasing an adjacent property for a similar scenario. The Tuesday vote will entail granting permission for New Castle Fire District, No.

Chappaqua residents voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to reject the proposed expansion of the Bedford Road firehouse, along with a related purchase of an animal hospital property next door that is needed for the project. Results show that the proposition for the firehouse expansion was rejected by a lopsided margin, with 632 voting against it to just 105 voting in favor.
