New Rochelle Mayor Applauds eDocNY


New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson congratulates eDocNY on a job well done.
“I look forward to working with eDocNY again in the near future,” he said.


Employees of eDocNY, Westchester Arc’s newest document management service for businesses, recently scanned and digitized thousands of building department records for the town of New Rochelle.  The job represented the second phase of a project that began with their converting assessors’ records for computer storage.  Three employees having developmental disabilities worked at City Hall, where they scanned over 14,000 identification cards, then downloaded the images to an external hard drive for eventual merging with town databases.

Their work was recognized with a special visit from New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson. “I can't thank you enough,” he said. “This is such important work, and I don't know how we could have gotten it done without you.”


Kevin Hansan, eDocNY project consultant, explains how workers scanned and digitized over 14,000 government identification cards.

The project helped workers build job skills and grow more comfortable with community employment. “I really liked working at City Hall. I hope to find more jobs like this one,” commented Chris H.

Warren B. pre-sorts images to be scanned.
