Abstract:

CGR staffed the Westchester Public Issues Institute, aimed at studying public issues affecting the lower Hudson Valley. In 2001 CGR studied the NYS mandates on Westchester County, local e-commerce impacts and Human Services affordability. CGR estimates that Westchester County will lose from $4 million to $52 million in sales tax revenue due to e-commerce annually by 2003. This report elaborates on why action to prevent this loss may not be feasible.
