Village of New Hyde Park Deputy Mayor Robert Lofaro and Trustee Richard Coppola are both running unopposed for re-election to four-year terms for their respective seats on the village board.
Both incumbents have served on the board for the past 12 years and are running as independent candidates.
Lofaro is the board liaison to the Department of Public Works the village Beautification Committee and oversees village facilities. Coppola is the board liaison to the New Hyde Park Fire Department the Nassau County Police Department, the village auxillary police department and the village Parks and Recreation Committee.
They were both members of the village board that swept into office with an agenda to turn around the troubled finances of the village. Prior to their election, there had been a campaign afoot to dissolve the municipality.
Lofaro has overseen the financing and planning of the extensive upgrade of the roadways in the village over the past decade.
Coppola is currently overseeing improvements to the village Memorial Park, which will include installation of new basketball courts, and the ballfield at Nuzzi Park.
