City Stadium Basketball Court Improvements

Renovation of Glen Cove City Stadium basketball courts, funded with Nassau County CDBG 47^th and 48^th year public facility improvement (PFI) grant funds.  The funds were used for resurfacing/striping the asphalt, purchase of six basketball backboards, rim and net replacement resulting in a much-needed upgrade to this highly trafficked facility.  The public service agencies that service low/moderate income youth, such as the Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club, EOC, Child Day Care Center and Youth Bureau as well as residents of the Glen Cove Housing Authority will utilize this free public amenity along with all city residents that will benefit from this activity.

Pedestrian Improvements

Glen Cove Public Facilities Improvement completed in part with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding under the Pedestrian Improvements program. The project included planning, design, and construction of pedestrian improvements in downtown Glen Cove, specifically the replacement of 28 curb ramps and upgrades to 16 crosswalks on Bridge, Glen, and School Streets. The project also included the addition of a new crosswalk and curb ramps on School Street in a location where there was not previously a crosswalk and curb ramps. The project has enhanced the visibility and durability of crosswalks, brought curb ramps into compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, fixed ramps that had been in a state of disrepair, and improved pedestrian safety in downtown Glen Cove. (Pictured are Mayor Pamela Panzenbeck, CDA Director Ann Fangmann, and; Kevin Crean, Director, Terry Dukes, Deputy Director; and Donald Crosley, Deputy Director of Nassau County Office of Community Development)

Glen Cove Public Facilities Improvement completed with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding under the Downtown Wayfinding Signage program.  Three kiosks were designed and installed in strategic locations throughout the Downtown BID, including near the Brewster Street Garage, next to City Hall, and in front of the Police Station at the NICE bus stop.

Big Belly Solar Powered Trash Compactor

Solar Powered Double Station Compactors were purchased with Nassau County CDBG 48th year Public Facilities & Improvement funding to significantly cut down on trips by the sanitation workers in the Downtown, in particular after special events in the B.I.D.  The systems are “smart” and have messaging that lets workers know when they need to be changed while cutting down on plastic garbage bags.   

The City of Glen Cove is pleased to offer Community Development Block Grant funds for income eligible senior citizens age 60+ and/or handicapped persons to make home repairs consisting of energy conservation, remediate code violations and handicap accommodations.   Funding is available to Glen Cove resident homeowners who have lived in their home to be improved for a minimum of one (1) year, who meet HUD income guidelines, and are current in the payment of property and school taxes.  Since reinstating the program in 2014, the CDA has assisted dozens of resident homeowners in making repairs to their home.  The CDA is accepting applications for the 2023-24 program year; click on the link to submit a pre-screening application.
