County approves funding for Ida remediation work

The Nassau County Legislature’s Rules committee voted unanimously on Monday, April 11 to allocate an additional $4 million toward ongoing repair work on the County’s drainage infrastructure and other problems caused by Tropical Storm Ida last year.

Their approval will equip the County to expand and address more infrastructure concerns resulting from Tropical Storm Ida. Specifically, in the 11th Legislative District, this includes projects to correct drainage issues on Skunks Misery Road in Glen Cove and Cow Neck Road in Port Washington North. Funding will also be dedicated toward immediate temporary corrective measures to secure the seawall at the base of Falaise Mansion at the Sands Point Preserve.

These improvements are now part of a countywide portfolio of post-Ida repairs to damaged or deteriorated pavement, curbs and sidewalks, drainage systems, bridges, structural systems such as sea walls and retaining walls, fencing, and park facilities. With the recent contract amendment, the County has committed a maximum of $24 million to this assortment of infrastructure repairs.

“It is such a relief that the funding for this much-needed work was approved,” Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D – Glen Cove), a member of the Legislature’s Rules committee, said. “Completing these projects will make our roads safer and go a long way toward preserving our County’s historical treasures for the enjoyment of future generations.” Feel free to contact Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton about this or any other topic at 516-571-6211 or [email protected].
