2024 Recap

1/13/25 @ 9:30 a.m.

As we enter into 2025, we wanted to share highlights of some of the great things that happened in 2024. From storm response to road improvements, there was no shortage of things to do! While continuing to focus on the day-to-day activities and the Strategic Priorities identified by the Board of County Commissioners, County staff also worked tirelessly on the Vision 2050 initiative as we collected feedback to help us plan the next 25 years. This was achieved through surveys, interviews and community events where residents were able to participate in hands-on activities to provide feedback of what they want Nassau County's future to look like. The events also focused on local culture and heritage while providing opportunities for community engagement while celebrating the County's 200th birthday. We look forward to presenting the Vision 2050 Plan in the coming months and to another great year of progress in 2025.

Paving the Way to a Better Nassau

7/12/2024

0 Comments

 
ed/12/24 @ 8:45 a.m. - In September 2020, the County secured RoadBotics, an enterprise firm specializing in road and infrastructure assessments, to conduct an unbiassed survey of all the County's existing 437 miles of paved roads and to provide feedback on current conditions. The information gathered was used to develop a robust, Pavement Management Plan that guides the County in preventative maintenance.

The Board adopted the new Pavement Management Plan on August 22, 2021, utilizing a 22-year cycle for ranking, prioritizing, and budgeting purposes. Prior to adoption of the Pavement Management Plan, roadways could only be resurfaced every 86 years.  However since adoption of the Pavement Management Plan in 2021, 176 roads have been resurfaced. 

Upon adoption of the Pavement Management Plan, County Manager Taco Pope stated, "This Plan not only improves quality of life by having the roads resurfaced more frequently, the County benefits from a fiscal sustainability standpoint as well. One of the biggest problems jurisdictions face is the inability to maintain their infrastructure. You all (the Board) should be very proud that you have a proactive approach to pavement management. Nassau County is moving in a very positive direction”. 

Below is a short video that explains the process for ranking roads and getting dirt roads prepped and ready for paving. It also includes a testimonial from a resident on Coopers Neck Road explaining how newly chip sealed roads in his neighborhood have positively benefitted the community. Thank you for watching to see all the hard work by men and women of the Road Department and celebrating the progress of the Board of County Commissioner's Pavement Management Plan.

5/17/22 @ 9:45 a.m.

The video linked below is part of our Nassau Now series and provides information on the Crawford Road Improvements Project. This new road not only improves mobility on the west side of the County, it also provides infrastructure needed to access the Crawford Diamond Industrial Park. This future industrial site has the potential to bring thousands of jobs to the county and diversifies the tax base, allowing for additional tax revenues to the County and reducing the burden on homeowners.
