LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

DELAY DECISION ON GARVIES POINT DEVELOPMENT UNTIL PROPER STEPS TAKEN

​Received from Sea Cliff Village Mayor Bruce Kennedy
October 1, 2015
​
To the Editor:

The proposed Glen Cove waterfront redevelopment, because of its tremendous density, is not just a Glen Cove issue – it is a regional issue.  Former Mayor Tom Suozzi envisioned and proposed a true mixed use development for Garvies Point, consisting of shops, restaurants, office buildings, entertainment, and no more than 500 residential units. A planned hotel and conference center would draw visitors to Glen Cove, many via the proposed ferry.  However, now the developer seeks to eliminate a substantial portion of the mixed use and dramatically increase the residential component to 1,110 units.  READ MORE
