In Westchester, a grant for Tarrytown is to improve Patriots Park while a grant for Sleepy Hollow is to construct the Hudson River Plaza waterfront park. Irvington will undertake streetscape improvements to the theater district. In Rockland, Piermont will repave Ferry Road to prevent storm damage while Nyack will construct a pedestrian bridge. South Nyack will improve Franklin Street Park and Upper Nyack will build a new sidewalk along North Broadway.
