Nanuet Sidewalks Receive $1.5 Million for Construction and Replacement

The Town of Clarkstown has been awarded a $1,590,933 grant to fund sidewalk construction and replacement in the Nanuet TOD zone. The grant money comes from Climate Smart Communities funding which is awarded by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

The funded project will connect the Nanuet TOD zone with neighborhoods along Church Street and Prospect Street. The proposal will bring sidewalks all the way to the Nanuet Public Library on Church Street. The major sidewalk project will ensure pedestrian safety and allow for easy walking access to residential areas, Nanuet schools and library, local businesses and the train station for an estimated 2,500 households.

Supervisor Hoehmann stated, “The Town of Clarkstown is committed to supporting the Nanuet community and investing in infrastructure improvements. This nearly $1.6M grant will connect over 2,500 residential homes directly to the Nanuet TOD zone, and bring our library and schools into a connected safe sidewalk network. I want to thank the DEC for awarding the grant, town staff who worked on the application, and those in the community who support our efforts.”

Councilman Don Franchino stated, “The major funding secured by the Town of Clarkstown is welcome news. This significant infrastructure project will further strengthen the Nanuet TOD zone and make critical pedestrian connections for all in our community to enjoy. Clarkstown government will continue to invest in Nanuet and help improve our wonderful community.”
