A Busy Week...

It has been a busy week as plans take shape around the region.  The NYC Traffic Mitigation Commission is wrapping up its work with some interesting support for transportation investments.  Folks across Long Island are eagerly awaiting a presentation from the 2008 Long Island Index.  Speculation grows on how Long Island will fare in the New York State budget, particularly in light of the Governor’s recent State of Upstate address.  In addition, a rather bold proposal for a cross sound tunnel will be the subject of a New York State Senate hearing next week.

Fresh off a number of inaugural events, Long Island Towns are shaping up their agendas  for the coming year.  In the Town of Brookhaven, folks want to keep the momentum going on implementing visioning efforts with the cooperation of the new Town Board leadership. The Town of Oyster Bay has formed a new economic development office that will focus on redevelopment activities, while the Town of Hempstead is showing some signs of flexibility in reviewing the plans for the Lighthouse development and revitalization efforts in Baldwin and Elmont.

Feel free to contribute news, events, links and other information.  Please send us data, articles, images and video clips of new or emerging issues.

Please note - We have edited our list to delete those who have either moved away or are involved in other efforts across the region.  We have also added a few hundred new members who may be interested in the issues we are covering on a weekly basis.  If you would like to unsubscribe, there is an 'unsubscribe' link at the bottom of this newsletter.  Conversely if you know anyone who would like to receive this weekly publication, please send them over to info@visionlongisland.org
