A joint downtown visioning project between Nassau County and the Incorporated Village of Farmingdale was approved by the Nassau County Legislature on Monday, December 15, 2008. As part of the County Executive's Cool Downtowns initiative, the visioning plan for Farmingdale provides a means to engage stakeholders and community residents through a series of workshops and public meetings, to plan for the future of their downtown.
This will be done in conjunction with the Village’s larger comprehensive plan, and hopes to identify areas within the downtown that are key for mixed-use development, economic rejuvenation and housing, while maintaining a “small town” feel. Farmingdale’s downtown has a busy Long Island Rail Road station, which makes it a prime location for transit oriented development.
