Post-Hurricane Coastal Protection Plan, Contact Info

A weekly look-in at news from around the Town of Hempstead.

Hempstead Town Supervisor Kate Murray called on state and federal agencies to prepare a Coastal Protection Action Plan in the wake of Hurricane Sandy’s devastating passing in the hard-hit barrier island area last month.

“The damage to communities on the Long Beach Island during Hurricane Sandy was overwhelming,” observed Murray. “The damage underscores the need for a comprehensive coastal protection project to move forward now to protect the barrier island from future storms and tidal surges.”
