The clock on a new animal shelter is ticking and Rockland’s county executive says if any more time is lost, a new shelter may not get built at all. Costs have nearly doubled for the New Hi-Tor Animal Care Center beyond the $8 million set aside for it already. The new estimated $17 million price tag has Rockland’s town supervisors and some in the legislature looking to put the brakes on the project. County Executive Ed Day told “The Morning Show” Friday it’s going to cost even more if it is delayed much longer…
Haverstraw supervisor Howard Phillips also heads up Rockland Green, and has suggested the recycling agency could also manage the shelter. Phillips says concerns over the current location and ballooning costs need to be examined more closely…
