The Town of Clarkstown has been awarded a $1,590,933 grant to fund sidewalk construction and replacement within the Nanuet Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) zone, town officials announced. The funding comes through the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation’s Climate Smart Communities program.

The project will connect the Nanuet TOD zone with nearby neighborhoods along Church Street and Prospect Street, extending sidewalks to the Nanuet Public Library. The improvements are designed to enhance pedestrian safety and provide walkable access to schools, residential areas, local businesses, and the Nanuet train station, benefiting an estimated 2,500 households.

“This nearly $1.6 million grant will connect over 2,500 residential homes directly to the Nanuet TOD zone and create a safer, more connected sidewalk network for our community,” said Town Supervisor George Hoehmann, who thanked the DEC, town staff, and community members for their support.

Councilman Don Franchino said the investment will strengthen the TOD zone and improve critical pedestrian connections throughout Nanuet, adding that the town remains committed to infrastructure improvements that enhance quality of life.
