$623,000 Nassau County Grant For A Brighter, Safer, Smoother Lawrence

The Village of Lawrence has received a $623,000 grant from Nassau County through the efforts of Legislator Howard Kopel for beautification and restoration. These funds will ensure the completion of the planned upgrade for 800 carriage fixtures to be fitted with bright new LED lights with better light distribution.

Plans also include installation of additional surveillance cameras and license plate readers to enhance village security.

Finally historic Rock Hall Road will be restored with new pavement, sidewalks, and tree plantings.

“I am extremely proud to announce that the Nassau County Legislature’s presiding officer, Howard Kopel, has worked through the budget and granted the Village of Lawrence $623,000 on behalf of the county,” Nahmias said. “The grant is for beautification, which includes replacement of all the (street) lights in Lawrence. Security cameras will be purchased with that as well, and Rock Hall Road will have a new road.”

Following the news of the grant facilitated by State Sen. Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick of $150,000 for improved lighting along 878 near the Atlantic Beach Bridge, and the innovative plans to combat the greenhead fly, Mayor Nahmias comments, “These projects reflect our administration’s firm commitment to deliver meaningful, tangible improvements to the Village of Lawrence. Whether it’s a safer road, a brighter streetlight, a new sidewalk or relief from insects, each initiative is rooted in one goal: improving the quality of life for our residents.” n
