Did you know that residents are responsible for replacing the curbs adjacent to their property line? Did you know the Village of Nyack has a program that splits the cost of replacing a crumbling curb?

How this works-First, you need to get on the list kept by John Cincotta, the Village Treasurer. When your name comes to the top of the list, you are notified and the village arranges for a contractor to come and do the work. The village splits the cost with you, each paying 50%.

The catch-There is a limited amount of money in the village coffers for this program each year, so the wait can be a long one. You may choose to replace the curb yourself at your own expense.
