Subdivision In Pearl River On Project Review Committee Agenda

PEARL RIVER, NY — As the new year begins, our local officials are busy conducting the public's business in plain sight. Several public meetings are scheduled for this week that affect Pearl River; however, the Orangetown Planning Board meeting has been canceled.
