The Town of Hempstead will borrow $725,000 to finance a settlement to a couple involved in a motor vehicle accident with a town employee. The plaintiffs, William and Maria Medina, were rear-ended by a town employee operating a town-owned "dump vehicle" on June 2, 2020, at the intersection of Merrick Avenue and Merrick Road in Mineola, according to a copy of the lawsuit. The couple had been stopped at a red light for around 15 to 30 seconds, the lawsuit said.

"When I leave here, the world, and they think about the Long Island Marathon, they'll think about me," DeWitt, 65, of Freeport, said of his sons.

The Village of Westbury approved a $97 million, 187-unit apartment building in its transit-oriented development zone — part of a push to remake a blighted, industrial area. Construction on the project, feet from the Westbury Long Island Rail Road Station, is expected to begin by the end of the year or early the next, Mayor Peter Cavallaro said in an interview. A total of 12% of the units, or 23, will be affordable.
