West Nyack revitalization project completed after years of planning

A year and a half ago, West Nyack was a construction zone. Now, the work is done. The park, walking, the restaurants, it's just a pleasure to come down here. We love it. It's a nice little town to walk around in, so we're enjoying it a lot. The business owners dealing with the lunch rush tell me they're happy with how everything looks here. Reviews from longtime residents to those who work here to the local civic association. They say all good things come to those who wait. Well, West Nyack waited, and we ended up with a fantastic project. A revitalization was first proposed nearly two decades ago, going back three Clarkstown supervisors. This plaque marks the project's end and the area's new beginning. We've completed that mission. The job is done. And I think it'll be a credit to the people of Clarkstown and West Nyack for the next 100 years. The transformation involved multiple phases that included flood mitigation, a new park, improved traffic flow, and parking to the area on and along West Nyack Road. Officials say the project's last phase cost about $11 million, with several million from federal and state funds. In West Nyack, Rockland County, Diane Caruso, News 12.
