WEST NYACK, NY – Supervisor George Hoehmann has shared the latest progress report on the ongoing West Nyack Revitalization Project, highlighting key milestones achieved over the past week and previewing upcoming construction activity that will impact local traffic.

According to Supervisor Hoehmann, drainage and utility work continued throughout the week, with major progress made. Orange and Rockland Utilities, along with several other utility companies, have completed most of their work and successfully met the deadline required to proceed with the removal of utility poles. The remaining utility work is expected to be finalized within the next week, after which the poles will be taken down, clearing the way for the next phase of the revitalization effort.
Temporary Road Closure: West Nyack Rd. & Bensen Avenue

As part of the next phase of utility upgrades, a brief road closure is scheduled at the intersection of West Nyack Road and Bensen Avenue, starting Tuesday morning and continuing through Thursday morning. This temporary closure is necessary to allow Orange and Rockland to install a large underground pull box as part of their 705 line infrastructure.

During this time, access to Bensen Avenue will be rerouted through West Street, and a detour will be in place to assist drivers in navigating the area safely and efficiently.
Progress on Road Realignment and Parking

In addition to utility improvements, contractors are making visible progress on the realignment of West Nyack Way and Klein Avenue. The area near Sorce Funeral Home now shows a clearly defined outline of the new roadway and parking layout, signaling another step forward in the revitalization project aimed at improving traffic flow and community infrastructure.

Supervisor Hoehmann encourages residents to stay informed through weekly updates as the project advances. “We appreciate the community’s patience and cooperation as we work to bring meaningful improvements to West Nyack,” he stated.

ROCKLAND COUNTY, NY – Assemblyman Patrick Carroll released the statement below on the New York State Budget

“No budget is perfect – while I had serious objections to how the process played out, particularly cramming in non-fiscal related policy matters at the last minute, I proudly voted for the state budget because it includes significant wins for Rockland County and all New Yorkers. Too often Rocklanders get the short end of the stick from our state government. Not this time. This budget that will make New York safer and more affordable, reflecting our values and priorities by delivering for our children, our seniors, and our families.

From record funding for our schools, including more than a two percent increase in foundation aid for all local schools, and universal school meals for all students across the state, to providing relief for middle class and working families with tax cuts and tax credits, no one, especially Rocklanders, will be left behind. By investing record funding in gun violence prevention, increased funding for mental health, and reforming our criminal justice laws, the safety of our children and our communities is at the forefront of this budget.

While the federal government slashes vital services and implements disastrous tariffs, we’re fighting for a better future for all New Yorkers. This budget does just that.”
