Sander looks back on Scarsdale and its changing cohesion
Theodore Sander Jr., longtime Scarsdale figure and former mayor, reflects on the village’s drift from strong community ties since 1960. He cites rising living costs, democratic shifts, and parking debates such as the Fenimore Tompkins corner site as signs of waning local involvement. He recalls the Overhill Office Building collapse under his mayoral era and notes a history of public service across roles. He outlines career milestones from Harvard MBA to leadership at American Maize and Huttig Manufacturing.
