DelBello, a Lewisboro resident who also served as mayor of Yonkers and Lieutenant Governor to Mario Cuomo, is credited with bringing to Westchester County a business climate that has transformed the county.

Muscoot Farm in Somers will also be named after DelBello, Daily Voice reported this past Friday.

“Al made this county great,’’ said Bill Mooney, the Westchester County Association President and CEO and a friend of DelBello’s. “He made it one of the most attractive places in the United States to live. We’ve had a long run as a great county because of Al. With all the companies and economic development he brought in, he never lost sight of the social issues. That’s a wonderful combination. That’s what made him such a great leader for Westchester.”

DelBello spent 20 years in politics, becoming the state's lieutenant governor after leaving the county executive's office.
