A zoning hearing has been scheduled for the Lighthouse project and everyone is encouraged to attend. The hearing has been scheduled to take place on Tuesday, September 22nd at the Adams Playhouse, on the campus of Hofstra University. The meeting will run in two sessions. The day session will run from 9am – 5pm with a one-hour break from 1pm - 2pm. The night session is scheduled to run from 6pm – 9pm.
At the last meeting, those in attendance had the opportunity to voice their thoughts on the environmental impact of the project. This upcoming meeting will focus on the zoning of the entire project, consisting of 150 acres. The questions which should be addressed are: Is it important to have a multi-use development plan at the Coliseum site? Are there benefits to smart growth? Does Long Island need this?
This is your chance to share your opinion with Supervisor Kate Murray and the Town Board. You may also submit your comments to the Town in writing by clicking here, by emailing lighthousecomment@tohmail.org or sending a letter to Lighthouse Comment, One Washington Street, Hempstead, NY 11550.
The Executive Board of the West Hempstead Community Support Association and the former Civic Association have gone on record as supporting the development being proposed by Charles Wang and Scott Rechler. The concept represents the best use of the property with a multi-use development plan creating a destination center for our Town and County. It exemplifies smart growth with density in the right location, thereby preserving our suburban neighborhoods. It creates permanent jobs, a large infusion of tax revenue which benefits all property owners, and helps provide housing for all ages. The Lighthouse LI will be privately funded which is another plus for the residents of the Town of Hempstead and the County.
