Westchester County's newly signed 2026 capital budget commits $579.7 million to buildings and technology, roads and bridges, water and sewer systems, and the airport, climbing toward $650 million once electric vehicle chargers and flood mitigation money are added in. It's the capital-spending companion to the operating-budget breakdown Monday's episode covered, and Westchester County has not broken this capital money down for residents in one place until now.
