The storm, which lingered over Nassau and Suffolk counties for three days, prompted some towns to waive fees for the disposal of storm-related brush. Others scheduled collection events in the immediate aftermath. Towns so far have collected hundreds of tons of debris and removed thousands of trees that were bl

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Glen Cove is back on the state's fiscal stress list, nearly two years after coming off it and as the city faces a $3 million shortfall. Glen Cove was labeled as “susceptible” to fiscal stress, according to the state comptroller's office, which analyzed the city's 2025 fiscal performance.

    Historic First Presbyterian Church in Glen Cove, built in 1906, awarded landmark status (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The City of Glen Cove has designated a 120-year-old church with historic landmark status, shielding the Tudor-style building from development.
