Two New Volunteers Join the Hook and Ladder Ranks
Sea Cliff, NY · September 21, 2026
A light Sound mist lingers on the bluffs this morning, easing us back into the week after a lively weekend of plein air painters and harbor runners. Between library workshops and evening hearings, there is plenty of local ground to cover before sunset.
The Lead
The Incorporated Village of Sea Cliff has filed an emergency motion and petition for rehearing with the New York State Public Service Commission, challenging an expedited public comment schedule for the $3.26 billion Propel NY Energy transmission line. Following state approval of the high-voltage cable route linking Long Island to Westchester, regulators established an October 1 deadline—leaving municipalities only 14 days rather than the customary 30-day window to evaluate Phase 1 and Phase 2 Environmental Management and Construction Plans. Village Administrator Bruce Kennedy criticized the shortened timeframe, warning that two weeks is wholly insufficient to complete technical reviews of submarine cable burial beneath Hempstead Harbor. Sea Cliff’s filing formally demands an immediate stay of the comment deadline while the full commission considers whether to restore standard public review procedures.

Spotlight & Story
- Sea Cliff Village Museum Built in 1913 on the footprint of an 1878 Methodist sanctuary, this red-brick structure spent its first half-century housing church parsonages. When the village acquired the complex in 1968, local volunteers turned the minister’s parlor into home for century-old maps, boardinghouse ledgers, and tintype photographs.
