Public Hearing Being Held On Rockaway Beach Closures

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- A public hearing is being held Monday on the controversial Rockaway Beach closures.

Last month, just days before beaches were due to officially open, the city parks department announced part of the beach would be closed. The agency cited severe erosion and safety concerns.

But businesses along that stretch of sand say the closures deal a devastating blow.
