The economy of White Plains revolves around large companies that have relocated to the city such as ITT, Xylem, Bunge and Combe. At the turn of the second millennium, there was a boom in commercial businesses and residential living and as a result the city's infrastructure grew substantially with two double towers being 40 plus stories and both being high-end apartments.

The White Plains school district operates under a Controlled Parents’ Choice Program, whereby parents of elementary and middle school children can select the school which their child attends based on factors other than proximity to the school. The school district has five elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school.
