Croton-on-Hudson's fiscal 2025 audit drew the highest possible opinion from the village's independent auditor, with revenues beating budget by $1.1 million and reserves near 25 percent of spending - even as accounting rules keep a $39 million retiree-health liability on the books. Trustees also reviewed pedestrian-safety designs for Old Post Road North, Gouveia Park planning, a wide-ranging police report and a zoning-code cleanup.
