Top issues during term (3)(Infrastructure)
Roanoke Avenue parking garage funding and design
$2 million in county funds becomes available for garage design once the federal grant contract is signed.
Downtown stormwater plan and highway barn progress
Roughly $188,000 a year over ten years, covered by CHIPS funds and highway budget adjustments — no property tax increase expected.
Wading River Highway Garage funding and SEQRA
Bond funding for the highway garage would be subject to a permissive referendum, meaning taxpayers could force a vote on the borrowing.
