Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and Village of Roslyn Mayor John Durkin joined Suozzi at the Roslyn Grist Mill stop. Blakeman thanked Suozzi for his preservation efforts." Once and for all we'll get it preserved," said Blakeman. "Because if we don't preserve our historical sites, young people coming up won't know about this community and how wonderful it was, the fact that this has such a rich history and that you have a beautiful district."
Suozzi recalled working on the Roslyn Grist Mill during his days as county executive. "I know the current county executive is working on it and they have made tremendous progress," he said. "But they need money."
Howard Kroplick, co-president of the Roslyn Landmark Society and former North Hempstead Town Historian, was also thankful. "This could not be done without the community getting involved and government officials supporting the project, so thank you so much, he said. "It's just wonderful."
