Hello Nassau! Let’s Talk What’s New & What’s Next

🌊 450+ Nassau Businesses Offer Senior Discounts
🌊 Conservation Easements Could Protect Local Land
🗓️ Upcoming Events and Things To Do!

• Fun Fact Spotlight
Did you know? A conservation easement can outlast the person who created it.

The land can remain privately owned and may still be sold, but the agreed-upon conservation restrictions stay with the property. In New York, land covered by an easement can also remain on local tax rolls.

450+ Nassau Businesses Offer Senior Discounts

Hundreds of Nassau County businesses are offering discounts to older residents, but many eligible shoppers may not realize how extensive the program has become. A searchable county resource now makes it easier to find participating restaurants, stores and service providers.

Conservation Easements Could Protect Local Land

Long Island homeowners with environmentally valuable property may have an option for protecting it permanently through a conservation easement. The arrangement can carry financial implications as well, but the rules and long-term restrictions require careful consideration.
