CLARKSTOWN – The Marydell
property in the Town of Clarkstown, has been transferred to the state
parks system. It had been previously owned by a religious order.
The state paid $2.5 million of the $3.1 million price tag; the Environmental
Protection Fund provided $2.1 million while $450,000 came from the Mid-Hudson
Regional Economic Development Council. A total of $300,000 was provided
by the Town of Clarkstown, $100,000 from the Village of Upper Nyack, $100,000
from the Durst Organization and $50,000 from the Open Space Institute.
“Having the state acquire the Marydell property is an exciting public-private
partnership to expand Hook Mountain State Park,” said Senator David
Carlucci. “Our collaborative efforts will result in linking the
Nyack Beach State Park to the Long Path.”
