Sewer District Announces ADA Compliance

The Great Neck Water Pollution Control District (GNWPCD) recently held a ribbon cutting ceremony to recognize the completion of construction projects at the District enabling the District’s administration building at 236 East Shore Road to be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant. In order to complete the project, the District was awarded a grant of $50,000 from the Nassau County Community Revitalization Program and $50,000 from the state.

“The District is grateful for Legislator Ellen Birnbaum’s dedication to securing these grants on behalf of all District residents,” said GNWPCD Chairperson Jerry Landsberg. “Her contribution has ensured the District is able to accommodate the physical needs of all residents.

In order to be compliant with ADA standards the District renovated the entryway and offices to be handicap accessible.

“Every member of the community deserves and is entitled to equal participation in government,” said GNWPCD Superintendent Christopher Murphy. “The District is pleased to announce its ADA compliance, and welcomes all members of the community who wish to conduct business with the District.”
