Curran announced the county is starting to plan on reopening things like marinas, golf course and some beaches, including Nickerson Beach, so that residents have open space. However, the timeline is not clear.

Curran also announced that the Nassau Legislature has asked for a delay in school property tax collection due in May. However, Curran stressed she has a commitment to continue running county government and providing services to residents – saying 60 percent of the county income comes from sales tax and property taxes.
