(MINEOLA, NY) – The Village of Great Neck Estates will be receiving funding from Nassau County as part of a Community Revitalization Project (“CRP”) to improve streetscapes in the Village. The request for funding was unanimously approved on Monday, November 17, 2014 during a full meeting of the Legislature. Legislator Ellen W.
