New York’s Governor came to Rockland yesterday to help officially open the $6 million “Homes for Heroes Veterans Apartments” complex in Tappan. The newly-constructed 14-unit supportive housing development for veterans is located on the grounds of the former Camp Shanks off Western Highway. At a press conference yesterday, New York Governor Kathy Hochul said for those who are willing to shed blood on battlefields across the world, a home is the least our nation can do for them…
The project was spearheaded by former Orangetown legislator and Marine Veteran, John Murphy. The homes were financed by $1.5 million in private donations and $4.5 million from the state.
