Your guide to Pelham civic life.
The Pelham Engagement Project exists to increase civic awareness and engagement in Pelham, NY — by making public information accessible, understandable, and actionable for every resident.
In Pelham, two villages run day-to-day services, the Town handles the ones that serve everyone, and a school district runs the schools; Westchester County adds a share of the tax bill and county-wide services. This site cuts through the complexity so you can show up informed, ask better questions, and participate in local government.
