A self-made visionary with 35 years of experience in entrepreneurship and management, business executive Robert Persico serves PCI Industries Corporation as manager. Robert Persico is also involved in charitable causes and was commended for his support of the North County Trailway, a bicycle path that goes through the town of Yorktown, New York.
The North County Trailway, located in Westchester County, New York, is 22.1 miles long. It begins at Eastview, in the town of Mount Pleasant, and ends at Baldwin Place, in the town of Somers on the border of Putnam County. About 5.5 miles of the Trailway crosses the town of Yorktown. The Trailway is a paved path for pedestrians and bicycles. It is constructed along the right-of-way lands of New York Central Railroad’s Putnam Division.
The “Old Put,” as the railway was known, was popular with commuters as well as those transporting cargo between 1881 and 1958. It serviced the people of Bronx and Putnam counties. Once serving 23 stations in Westchester County, portions of the Old Put were re-claimed and became part of the Trailway.
