Village Update – October 24, 2019
A lot has occurred in the last 2 weeks. The biggest announcement is that all 4 of the village’s REDI projects have been approved. The projects include building a beach dune along the numbered streets, installing riprap along Lakestones, installing riprap along White Birch and developing a comprehensive stormwater conveyance system on Wickham Blvd, Bay St Ext, and Greig St. That will include a number of site improvements including curbs, sidewalks, floodwalls and 4 permanently installed pumps in decorative shelters. The next step is to hire engineers to finalize the designs and develop construction bid specifications. We will be working with NYS on each project and hope to get specific contact information within the next week. We’ve posted the information created by O’Brien and Gere, the engineers hired by NYS to assist in the REDI process on the front page of the website. These are large files and may take a moment to load.

NYS has also filed a lawsuit against the IJC seeking monetary damages. This lawsuit was filed by NYS DEC using the DEC counsel in NYS Supreme Court. I find it interesting that the attorney general did not file this and that it was not filed in federal court. We’ll have to see how this plays out.
