Nassau County Legislators Pass 2011 Capital Plan
The Nassau County Legislature put politics aside and unanimously approved the 2011 Nassau County Capital Plans. Capital projects include maintenance and rehabilitation of county roads, preservation and redevelopment of county parks, enhancement of technology to improve government efficiency, and much more throughout the county and in our neighborhood.
This year’s program is two-pronged and includes the Sewer and Storm Water Plan which will provide for vital upgrades and improvements to the county’s ailing sewer infrastructure, as well as the General Capital Plan which advance projects that will include enhancements to County facilities, rehabilitation of roadways and parks, drainage improvements and numerous other necessary maintenance projects.
“Countless men and women in the local construction trades can now get back to work,” said Presiding Officer Peter J. Schmitt. “This year’s program is lean and includes only the projects that are necessary to improve the health, safety and quality of life of Nassau residents. I am calling on the Nassau Interim Finance Authority to review and approve all contracts expeditiously in order to get people back to work.”
Approval of the Capital Plan ensures that the capital improvement projects will commence, contracts will be awarded, and many people in Nassau County can count on employment in the coming year. “I’m glad that we were able to agree on a smart plan for 2011 and I look forward to getting the projects started and people working,” said Presiding Officer Schmitt.
