Nassau County Executive Laura Curran signed an executive order Friday night that will provide “much needed relief” for residents facing financial hardship caused by COVID-19.

According to a statement from Curran, she “extended the deadline to pay 2019-2020 second-half school district taxes to July 1, 2020.”

Curran thanked Gov. Andrew Cuomo who she says she worked with to make the relief possible.
