Board of Trustees Meets Tonight to Discuss Waterfront Repairs

Sea Cliff, NY · May 4, 2026

Happy Monday—hope you enjoyed that burst of sun over the weekend. We’re kicking off the week with the Board of Trustees meeting tonight at Village Hall to talk about those long-awaited bulkhead repairs and a few other updates for the season ahead.

📰 The Lead

Tonight’s Board of Trustees conference meeting at Village Hall is more than just a routine Monday gathering. On the agenda is a critical update regarding the stabilization of the shoreline near the yacht club and the public beach. After a winter of heavy swells and erosion, the village is looking at engineering reports to determine the scope of bulkhead repairs needed before the peak summer season. It’s a balancing act between fiscal responsibility and protecting our unique waterfront infrastructure. Residents are encouraged to attend the 7:00 PM session to hear the proposed timelines and cost estimates. Beyond the repairs, expect a brief discussion on the upcoming Memorial Day parade logistics—a reminder that the village’s busiest season is just around the corner.

📸 Spotlight & Story

  • The Octagon House The "Octagon House" on 16th Avenue remains one of our most curious architectural treasures. Built in the mid-19th century during the height of a national octagon house craze, it was designed under the belief that eight-sided homes offered superior light and airflow. While most of these structures have long since vanished from the American landscape, ours stands as a quirky, well-preserved reminder of Victorian-era experimental spirit and remains a favorite subject for local photographers.
