On April 9, Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano, Presiding Officer of the Legislature Peter Schmitt and Minority Leader Diane Yatauro, stood alongside the union leaders of Nassau County, including CSEA Local 830 President Jerry Laricchiuta to announce the unanimous passage of the 2010 Capital Improvement Project Plan.
The Plan includes:
· Over $18.5 million in park maintenance and improvements
· $7 million for new 911 call center
· $31 million in road and traffic improvements
· Increased funding for improvements to Cedar Creek and Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plants
· $550,000 for the Nassau County Fire Service Academy
Officials said that this bipartisan agreement will create jobs, benefit residents and stimulate the local economy. It will also benefit CSEA members who work in Parks, 911 Operator Bureau, Sewage Treatment Plants and Public Works in general, as these plans for improvement should make their jobs easier.
