Public Hearing on Town of Hempstead proposal to dissolve Transit Oriented Development Zone
The Town of Hempstead is proposing to dissolve the transit-oriented development overlay district in North Lawrence and in Inwood without a single project having been competed in the overlay district since the zone was established in 2019 by a bipartisan effort led by then Town Councilman Bruce Blakeman and Supervisor Laura Gillen after years of study.
Long Island is experiencing a housing crisis, and these communities have also experienced blight as old industrial buildings near the LIRR station have closed down. Transit-Oriented development can reduce traffic, build a walkable community and provide desperately needed housing. Speak out against this proposed de-zoning on July 2nd at 10:30 AM.
