Governor Kathy Hochul today, in the wake of significant storm damage and erosion from recurring coastal storms, announced $3.5 million in state funding for Tobay and Overlook beaches as work begins to further strengthen the south shoreline of Long Island. Along with local towns and a partnership between the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the work is made possible through a multi-million dollar investment to protect and support the Long Island shoreline.
