Fall Family Festival Rescheduled for This Saturday
Sea Cliff, NY · October 1, 2026
October arrived overnight under quiet gray skies. Grab a light layer for your morning walk to the bakery, then settle in as a full weekend slate begins to take shape.
The Lead
State regulators have conditionally approved the $3.26 billion Propel NY Energy transmission line, triggering immediate pushback from North Shore school districts and municipal leaders. The Public Service Commission approved the regional infrastructure initiative on a consent agenda without public debate, clearing a major hurdle for plans to route high-voltage underground cables across the area. Village Administrator Bruce Kennedy and legal counsel representing the North Shore, Roslyn, and Syosset school systems criticized the determination, arguing the expedited process bypassed resident testimony on traffic disruption, classroom proximity, and shoreline protections. District administrators had specifically sought seasonal and hourly construction restrictions to minimize interference with the academic year. Developers must now navigate outstanding environmental reviews with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and secure local road-use agreements before heavy machinery arrives.

Spotlight & Story
- Sea Cliff Firehouse Erected in 1931 to replace the village’s 19th-century wooden fire barn, this Tudor Revival landmark on Roslyn Avenue still houses active engines behind hand-cranked wooden bay doors. Step inside the vestibule and you'll find the original rope lever that still tolls the tower bell.
