Over $5M Secured to Upgrade Shoreline Streets and Protect the Harbor
Sea Cliff, NY · September 11, 2026
Flags rest at half-staff along the avenue this morning as neighbors gather by the memorial clock for the 8:46 a.m. tribute. Take a quiet breath as we step into this reflective Friday together.
The Lead
Yesterday afternoon at Memorial Park, village and county leaders announced more than $5 million in combined county bond authorizations and federal grants to expand the public sewer network. The initiative will convert 45 homes currently relying on aging private cesspools along 2,860 linear feet of Prospect Avenue, Winding Way, The Drive, and Park Way.
Connecting these bluff-side residences to municipal infrastructure directly safeguards groundwater and prevents nitrogen seepage into Hempstead Harbor and Long Island Sound. The newly dedicated funds include $4 million approved through the county capital plan alongside a $1 million federal grant secured to offset local homeowner costs.
Engineering and design coordination between village public works and county environmental teams will roll out detailed connection timelines directly to affected property owners over the coming months.
