On Tuesday, October 3, Supervisor Ed Romaine (second from left), Councilman Neil Foley (right) and Highway Superintendent Dan Losquadro (center) held a press conference at Davis Park, Fire Island to urge the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to repair beach erosion and other storm damage that has impacted the stability and resilience of the ocean beaches in Brookhaven Town. The damaged ocean communities include Davis Park, Ocean Bay Park, Point O’Woods, Cherry Grove, Fire Island Pines and Water Island. In a recent letter to US Senator Charles Schumer, Supervisor Romaine wrote, “Failure to act immediately will be detrimental to all of the Brookhaven communities not included in the current scope of work.”
