Hello Nassau! Letâs Talk Whatâs New & Whatâs Next New steps, handrails, walkways and building repairs are on Westburyâs improvement list, backed by a $150,075 county grant. We explain the practicalâŚ
The Nassau Legislature actually approved a $150,000.75 Community Revitalization Program grant back on July 27th for the Westbury Recreation Complex.
Okay, so that's a decent chunk of money.
It is, yeah.
And the funding is intended for recreation and senior facilities, which, you know, they use for classes, gatherings, community programs, that sort of thing.
Right, those really vital public spaces.
What exactly are they doing with the funds?
Well, the planned recreation center work includes heating and cooling upgrades, roof repairs and, um, replacement gutters.
Gutters.
Right.
Yeah.
Not super glamorous.
And the exterior work includes new senior center steps, replacing the front walk and new steps for the recreation office.
Okay, so a lot of concrete work.
Yeah.
And an asphalt walkway connecting the parking lot to Linden Avenue.
Oh, and they are also planning new handrails, particularly along the senior center south ramp.
Got it.
Now, I do need to give a crucial caveat here for anyone listening.
Right, the fine print.
Exactly.
While the grant and its intended uses have been fully approved, this work is not yet finished.
No, of course not.
Yeah.
It's an upcoming project.
Yeah.
