Consideration of Landscaper Regulations Regarding Equipment and Working Hours
Resident, Abe Bronchtein, began the discussion on his position to limit the working hours of landscapers in the Village. The Mayor reminded the BOT that after a year working on this issue the Town of North Hempstead announced new regulations that stated commercial landscapers will be prohibited from using gas-powered leaf blowers from June 15 to September 15.
