The Westchester County Board of Legislators celebrated Italian American Heritage Month on Monday evening with a ceremony honoring West Harrison business owner Dave Franze and former State Senator Nick Spano of Yonkers.
Franze, whose parents emigrated from Calabria, founded West Harrison Fitness Center in 1979 and has organized Harrison’s free summer concert series for two decades. Spano, whose grandfather emigrated from Bari, represented Westchester in Albany for nearly three decades, first in the State Assembly and then in the State Senate.
