During Hurricane Irene last year, one of the hardest hits areas of Rockland County was Klein Ave. and some nearby streets in West Nyack. Heavy rain led to such a large overflow of the adjacent retention pond that the street was flooded with waters reaching as high as five-and-a-half feet. The street was eventually evacuated.
While residents are hoping Hurricane Sandy won’t hit as hard, they aren’t taking chances. Many were in the process of or had already started moving items from their ground-level floors upstairs by Saturday afternoon.

I guess better late than never. LaCorte is serving his 4th year as Mayor and was Trustee for I think…Read More 4 years before that. This year is the only time he has brought the idea to the village
about participating in this program. He is motivated by the opportunity of getting positive press for his County Executive
campaign. The village should have been involved in this
program ( as well as the Americorps program) long before
this. On a positive note, hopefully the Village will continue this
worthwhile partnership for many years to come.
