County Legislator Tom Abinanti, State Senator Andrea Stewart Cousins assistant Yolanda Robinson - and I spent time meeting with most of the businesses that were temporarily closed down on E Hartsdale Ave, due to the flooding.
The stores are all closed because of flooding damage. We're going to provide them with assistance completing forms for grants/loans. In addition, I will be meeting with store owners daily, trying to help them cut through red tape. I am requesting the Town Board to waive all building fees for flood victims. I have asked the Commissioner of Public Works and Town Engineer to provide the Town Board with an analysis as to what caused the flooding and what actions could and should be taken in the near future to reduce the potential for future problems.
We are looking for volunteer attorneys, contractors, architects, engineers who can provide pro bono assistance to the merchants. Please contact me if you would like to help out. pfeiner@greenburghny.com
