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)
