County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef will go before the County Legislature at 8 p.m. tonight to deliver his annual state of the county address.
Being traditionally protective over the speech’s content, his office has leaked nothing about any bombshells or new ideas. The only previews Vanderhoef, a Republican, would give was the affordable housing would be address (again!) and that he would speak at length about the county’s hospital.
The meeting will be held in the Legislature chambers at 11 New Hempstead Road in New City.

In an interview today about his upcoming state of the county speech, Rockland County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef said that he’s done waiting for the County Legislature to collaborate with him on the Housing Opportunities Commission, which would study and implement plans for affordable housing for Rockland’s middle income residents.
It’s a proposal he’s requested for the last several years. The Legislature has not voted on the commission and its members have said there are details that need to be worked out first.
“That one’s getting to be a fine wine,” Vanderhoef said. “It’s aged.”
But residents feeling the housing crunch still have some hope. Vanderhoef said his office is going to forgo the commission and continue to work on creating affordable housing on its own. The county has constructed or rehabilitated more than 1,900 units in the last several years, including about 300 since 2005.
Vanderhoef will deliver his annual address at 8 p.m. on April 1 in the Legislature chambers in New City.

I’ve been receiving so many calls and e-mails about the Hudson Pines Condominiums, an affordable housing complex I wrote about in Wednesday’s paper, I figured I’d share all the information I have:
The condominiums are on Dowd Street in Haverstraw village. That’s off Route 202, not too far away from the Route 9W intersection.
There will be an open house from noon to 4 p.m. Feb. 2 at its Building A.
Unfortunately, I cannot answer specific questions about available units or help you in filling out applications.
Please call the Rockland Housing Action Coalition at 845-352-3819.
Good luck!
