LEGISLATIVE UPDATE 7/27/26
Moments ago, the full Legislature approved Nassau County's capital plan and dozens of Community Revitalization Program grants for Democratic caucus-served districts. I'm thrilled to have secured nearly $1.4 million in CRP grants for District 11, including:
$350,000 for upgrades to the City of Glen Cove's Pascucci Soccer Field
$275,000 for the Village of Port Washington North's Together We Play All-Abilities Playground
$200,000 for PPE for the City of Glen Cove Volunteer Fire Department
$152,106 for critical equipment and improvements for Crescent Beach
$115,000 for a new playground at Glen Cove City Schools' Gribbin Elementary School
$110,000 for improvements to #GlenCove's Maccarone Stadium
$100,000 for the Port Washington Public Library's History Center
$89,197 for the Port Washington Water Pollution Control District (Improvements to the Thomas Dodge Homestead, as operated by the Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society)

In December, Minority Leader DeRiggi-Whitton joined her Democratic colleagues in unveiling the “Fair Fees and Accountability Act” - a set of proposals that would permanently repeal excessive and illegal red-light camera fees and create a blueprint for refunding drivers.

Those new funds will be placed into a dedicated fund for agencies that provide addiction prevention, treatment, and recovery resources across Nassau County. However, a Newsday investigation revealed the Blakeman administration has distributed just $3.01 million – or 3.15 percent of approximately $95.5 million it had received – despite a four-year plan released in May 2023 that pledged $60 million to agencies over that time. 
In December, in Glen Cove, Delia presented a $43,000 grant to NOSH Delivers. The Legislature had voted unanimously on Nov. 20 in favor of releasing American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding in support of the 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization’s hunger-fighting outreach and
Over the summer, Delia partnered with the Nassau County Police Benevolent Association (PBA) to distribute more than 500 backpacks during a back-to-school backpack giveaway event at Glen Cove High School. The Nassau County PBA donated the backpacks and school supplies for the event, which helped to equip students for a strong start to the 2024-25 school year.
