The weekend is finally in sight. We’re rounding out the work week with some big news on local infrastructure and development—from keeping our tap water clean on the North Shore to the changing skyline down in Island Park. Here’s what you need to know before you clock out.

Fun Fact Spotlight:

💧 Glen Cove Approves $140K Emergency Water Safety Upgrade

Glen Cove is moving fast to stay ahead of new water safety rules. The City Council just cleared a $140,800 emergency buy to swap out the filtration at Well #32. It’s all about hitting those tough new federal PFAS standards. While 2031 seems far off, Glen Cove is putting the work in now to make sure the North Shore’s water stays some of the best around.

This 72-unit luxury spot is going to change the look of the Island Park shoreline and bring some new life to the waterfront.
