“What we have accomplished in 4 years is nothing short of miraculous,” said Day. “Our fiscal discipline has set the stage for our renaissance - a renaissance that is well underway. A renaissance that will be furthered by the actions we take in 2018, actions that we take together.”

After outlining accomplishments from his first 4 years in office, Day spoke about the need for the county to join together to complete the job first begun when he was sworn in as County Executive in 2014.

Day said, “as we continue to strengthen the fiscal condition of Rockland we must also strengthen the bonds between us and embrace the diversity of our beloved county.”

-- Rehabilitation and Repurposing of the Pomona Complex

-- New Hi Tor Facility

-- Community Outreach and Collaboration
