Hello Nassau! Let’s Talk What’s New & What’s Next
Tuesday brings another round of local news and updates from around Nassau County. Some of it is routine, some of it signals bigger shifts, but all of it helps paint a clearer picture of what’s happening now and what’s coming in the days ahead.

Fun Fact Spotlight:
When Jones Beach opened in 1929, its buildings were designed with reinforced concrete and copper roofs to endure Atlantic winter storms — a key reason so many original structures still stand today.

⚡ North Hempstead Gets 58 EV Charging Stations

North Hempstead approved a $447,740 deal to install 58 electric vehicle charging stations across 12 town locations by spring. The town will keep 91 cents on every dollar earned, a huge improvement from the previous 25-cent deal that never happened. Plus, a $200,000 PSEG grant will fund even more stations once these are up and running.
