Business owners in Port Chester are thrilled to hear the news.
Rodrigo Aguillon, of Roddy's Pizza, has been serving up slices in Port Chester for the last decade. This year, his business took a 33% hit with everything that's going on.
"It's been like one thing after another basically, so we are measuring out around that much," says Aguillon. "But we are trying to keep it going. That's why if Gov. Cuomo decides to make it better, it will be a big help."
