The sidewalk reconstruction project is in full swing on South Broadway, between Depew Ave and Cedar Hill. Crews are working as quickly as possible. However, “discoveries” along the way have impacted the project. From sidewalk excavation to a full new sidewalk is approximately a two week turn-around. All stores and businesses on South Broadway are open and accessible!
Nyack
Nyack /ˈnaɪ.æk/ (
listen) is a village located primarily in the town of Orangetown in Rockland County, New York, United States. Incorporated in 1872, it retains a very small western section in Clarkstown. It is an outer suburb of New York City lying approximately 19 miles (31 km) north of the Manhattan boundary near the west bank of the Hudson River, situated north of South Nyack, east of Central Nyack, south of Upper Nyack, and southeast of Valley Cottage.
New Kayak Storage in the Marina
This season, Nyack wants to get you out on the water!
Over the winter, the village officials and Nyack Mayor Don Hammond worked closely with the Nyack Parks Commission and a newly formed Kayak Committee to relocate the kayak storage racks closer to the water, and to expand capacity by adding a new set of racks that can hold up to eight kayaks, canoes, paddleboards, or small sailboats such as Sunfish.
The new rack wouldn’t have been possible without the support and contributions made by Rockland BOCES and its students. For the project, the village coordinated with Michael Mark from the Nyack School Board, BOCES COO Amy Albers, and Principal Eric Kurz, to have students take on the construction as part of a school project. Thank you to all involved in the project!
“These efforts over the past few months in our revitalized marina are consistent with Nyack’s master plan for the waterfront, which is to encourage and facilitate better access to the waterfront, especially by those using non-powered watercraft,” says Jim Willcox, chairman of the Nyack Parks Commission. “Before we began this effort, we reached out to all the stakeholders in the marina to determine what best fit all their needs, and formed a committee to discuss the various options.”
For the past few years, demand for kayak storage space has exceeded capacity; as a result, there’s been a wait-list for those who’d like to keep kayaks or canoes in the marina. Thanks to the new racks, there are now several open rack spaces available for seasonal rental. And, for the first time, there are a few slots large enough to accommodate small sailboats.
Those interested in securing rack space this season should contact Village Hall at 845-358-0548 ext. 283.

Nyack Village Board Work Session

Nyack Library presents: Ayiti — a Haitian Heritage Month Celebration
Nyack, NY – The Nyack Library is proud to present an afternoon of poetry, art, dance and drumming in celebration of Haitian Heritage Month on Saturday, May 14 at 2pm.
Organized by local author Daniel Wolff, the lineup includes poetry by Daniel and Denize Lauture, a presentation by visual artist Vladimir Cybil Charlier, drumming by Eric Alcin and Steve White, and dancing by Daphnee Nicolas and Sasha Miceus.
The Haitian community is a vital and vibrant part of life here in Rockland County. Too often, the media neglects to promote a complete picture of the Haitian people and their unique culture, instead focusing on corruption and tragedies. It is part of the Nyack Library’s mission to elevate the narrative, as well as provide services and entertainment for the entire community.
The event is free and open to the public. Books will be available for purchase. To register, please visit nyacklibrary.org or call 845-358-3370 ext. 214.
Daniel Wolff is available for interviews and/or comments up to the day of the event. Daniel’s poetry has appeared in The Paris Review, American Poetry Review, and Raritan, among others. His previous collection is The Names of Birds (Four Way Books). He’s also written a half dozen non-fiction books. Ayiti (Finishing Line Press) came out of trips to Haiti to help produce Jonathan Demme’s documentary, The Agronomist.
