Final Budget Hearing Tonight and a Tax Deadline Reminder

Sea Cliff, NY · April 15, 2026

Happy Wednesday—if you haven't mailed that return yet, the post office will likely be the busiest spot in town today, but the real action is at Village Hall tonight for the final budget hearing.

📰 The Lead

The Village Board of Trustees is set to hold its final public hearing on the 2026-2027 tentative budget tonight at 7:00 PM. This session represents the last opportunity for residents to weigh in on the village’s fiscal priorities before the board moves toward formal adoption. The proposed plan aims to balance the rising costs of infrastructure maintenance—specifically cliff stabilization and road resurfacing—with the goal of staying within the state-mandated tax levy cap. Recent workshops have highlighted a focus on upgrading Department of Public Works equipment and enhancing pedestrian safety measures along our narrow, winding avenues. If you have thoughts on how your tax dollars should be allocated for local services and park preservation, tonight is the time to make your voice heard at Village Hall.

📸 Spotlight & Story

  • Sea Cliff Yacht Club Founded in 1892, the club is currently buzzing with activity as members prep hulls for the upcoming season. While it’s a premier destination for competitive sailors on the Sound, it remains a community anchor through its Junior Sailing program, which has taught generations of local children how to navigate Hempstead Harbor. Interestingly, the club was originally situated at the base of the cliff before a 1907 fire prompted a move to its current, more resilient location overlooking the water.
