Nassau County Legislator Peter J. Schmitt recently announced that the County Legislature has approved the contract for major streetscape improvement on Merrick Road in Massapequa.

The $760,000 improvement is slated for a two-block stretch of Merrick Road, from Seaford Avenue to Hicksville Road. "This project includes the installation of concrete curbs, sidewalks, brick pavers, decorative lighting, benches, trash receptacles and incidental work," said Legislator Schmitt. "It represents an investment by Nassau County in our community and I am proud to have secured the project for this area."

Work is scheduled to commence in early June and should be completed in 120 days.
