Downtown Revitalization

Nassau County's downtowns are centers of commerce and excitement, near LIRR stations and good transportation, and are walkable communities. These are the places where we can expand our tax base, get people out of their cars, and create jobs for young people, and housing for seniors and the next generation.

Already four communities have vision plans for the revitalization of their downtowns that are currently being implemented (click for a link to more information):

• Elmont Community Vision Plan

• Village of Hempstead Vision Plan Downtown

• Village of Farmingdale Downtown Revitalization Plan

• City of Glen Cove Cedar Swamp Road Corridor Study

Three additional communities have visioning programs underway ( as of January 2010):

• Village of Freeport North Main Street Corridor Study

• Great Neck Peninsula Transportation Visioning Study

• New Cassel Industrial Area Visioning Study
