WOODBURY- The CSEA Local 830 team spent the morning of February 6th at Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury for the Nassau County Executive’s 5th Annual Labor Breakfast.

The event started off with the convocation by Father Thomas Hartman, followed by remarks from County Executive Tom Suozzi. The focal point of the morning was the presentation on the Nassau County Hub which is a plan that looks to link all assets in Nassau County together by means of a monorail system. These assets would include Eisenhower Park, Nassau Coliseum and the Roosevelt Field and Source Malls for easier accessibility.

This plan is still in its early stages and would need approval from the Nassau County Legislature each step of the way. Following the presentation, CSEA Local 830 President Jerry Laricchiuta spoke with Reckson Associates Realty Corp. Chief Executive Scott Rechler about this thoughts on the plan. “I wanted it to be known that CSEA will not support this endeavor unless it includes public employees,” Laricchiuta said. “It was an impressive presentation and excellent plan, but we need to look at how this could affect our CSEA members.”

CSEA thanks the Nassau County Executive for the invite to this event, and looks forward to attending again in the future.
