Action Plan for Nyack
By Doug Foster
The Village of Nyack is rich with assets such as our vibrant downtown, scenic waterfront, diverse residents, strong sense of community, and a wonderful mix of residential, commercial and institutional development. Unfortunately, over the decades the Village has developed a structural deficit, where our tiny, balkanized tax base is unable to sustain our assets.
The Village is “asset rich, cash poor.” Our survival strategy has been to borrow from our infrastructure (roads, sidewalks, buildings, etc.) in the form of deferred maintenance.
Let’s treat this situation as a call to action. We need a Village Board that is willing to work together and tap into our amazing pool of residents to identify problems, find solutions, and implement them. If we are smart and focused we can regain a sustainable budget and build a better community.
As a starting point, I have outlined a Five Point Action Plan to move Nyack forward.
Practical Party
by Jen White
Nyack needs to change. We have no business playing the game of partisan politics. There is just too much work to do.
We live in a Village with crumbling sidewalks and not enough tax revenue, with empty storefronts and an underutilized waterfront.
There are pockets everywhere of people who feel unheard and disenfranchised, from developers with ideas for responsible expansion of both our real estate options and our coffers, to out of town visitors who’ve heard we have parking problems and don’t want to come anymore.

Vote Nyack First Candidates!
Steve Knowlton, Esq.
Chairman, Nyack Zoning Board of Appeals
As the volunteer Chairman of the Nyack Zoning Board of Appeals for nearly a decade, I have had the pleasure of working closely with the Trustees on Land Use and other issues. Based on my experience in our Village government I strongly endorse Jen White and Doug Foster for Trustee.
Both Jen and Doug worked on the Mayor’s Task Force on the Redevelopment of the Downtown Superblock, which I chaired. Both had insightful comments which helped frame the final recommendations. I’ve known Jen for 10 years and am always amazed at her energy and “can-do” attitude. I am privileged to be able to call her my friend. Doug, while new to the Village, has a planning background that can only enhance his performance as a Trustee.
The Village needs new energy on the Board. These two will provide it in spades!
