State and local leaders gathered in Nyack on Thursday morning to celebrate the completion of the village’s revitalized waterfront shoreline pathway project at Memorial Park.
Officials marked the occasion with a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the newly improved pathway.
The project includes a smooth, flat ADA-accessible walkway, additional seating areas and upgrades designed to make the shoreline more resilient to storms.
The Village of Nyack received a more than $400,000 grant from the New York State Department of State to help fund the project.
Mayor Joe Rand said the park remains open and accessible to everyone.
"We don't charge admission. We don't require residency. Anyone can come and enjoy this park. And it's been made possible by so much support from the governor and local residents," said Rand.
Kisha Santiago, deputy Secretary of State for Planning, Development and Community Infrastructure, praised the village’s efforts and collaboration throughout the project.
"This village has really come together in all of the work that they've done. The Department of State, it's been a pleasure working with them," said Santiago.
Following the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the group toured other areas of Nyack to view additional projects and nonprofit organizations that have received state funding.
