The Town of Bethlehem, New York has long known about the issue of erosion on the shore of its Henry Hudson Park in Selkirk, but now it has an estimate of what it would take to fix it: $2.5 million.

That's the conclusion of a consultant hired to study the problem. Ocean and Coastal Consultants was retained to the tune of $33,300 ($24,750 of which was from a state grant) for a six-month study and on Wednesday, June 22, presented its findings to the Town Board.
