Elected officials, seeking to appease vocal constituents, frequently uphold restrictive zoning laws that favor single-family residences over more diverse housing options.

WHITE PLAINS—Bonnie Koff, chair of the Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation Fundraising Committee, recently donated her winnings from the NYSAR Community Service Award to the Hudson Gateway Realtor Foundation (HGRF). Koff received a check for $1,500 to be given to the charity of her choice, and she chose the HGRF.
The NYSAR Community Service Award recognizes Realtors for their contributions in the communities where they live and work. Koff has headed the HGRF Fundraising Committee for many years and also serves as a Trustee of the Foundation.
She has spearheaded several successful HGRF fundraising events including fashion shows, a casino night, holiday parties and a number of pub nights throughout the Hudson Valley.
Determined not to be stopped by COVID-19 this year, Koff has already held a virtual cooking class fundraiser and has planned a Walk/Run Challenge for the weekend of August 28, where individuals or groups can walk or run at their own locations to raise funds for the foundation.
