The Rockland County Legislature and County Executive have announced the appointment of Nicole Laible, MPAP, as the new Coordinator for the Rockland Task Force on Water Resources Management. Chairing the Task Force is Legislator Beth Davidson, who also serves as Chair of the Environmental Committee. Davidson, along with Water Conservation Coordinator Ariana Polanco, MPH, and Laible, will lead efforts to address Rockland’s pressing water conservation and sustainability challenges.
