Please join us for the 15th Annual Long Island Smart Growth Awards Friday, June 10th from 11:00am to 2:00pm at the Crest Hollow Country Club. This annual event will showcase the best in class of real people and projects that represent the transformation of our downtowns and investment in infrastructure for Long Island communities.
These last few years has shown tremendous progress with over 12,000 units of transit oriented housing approved, over a billion dollars of Federal and State funds invested in our sewage treatment plants and nearly 60 communities working on varying placemaking principles of Smart Growth.
We have received over 40 deserving nominations and the winners start with a Regional Leadership Award to Scott Rechler , Chairman and CEO or RXR Realty for his progress in and longstanding support of creating mixed use, downtown destinations on Long Island. The groundbreaking for Garvies Point in Glen Cove is imminent and puts an exclamation point on his leadership.
The project and organizational honorees have just been awarded and include Hon. Don Barbieri for walkability in New Hyde Park; Alma Realty Corp & the Village of Valley Stream for a mixed use project in Valley Stream; Conifer Realty & Town of Babylon for housing choices in Copiague; Patchogue Chamber of Commerce for “Live after Five” in Patchogue; Town of Islip & Greenview Properties for a Pedestrian Plaza in Bay Shore; LI Building Trades Council & LI Federation of Labor for job development; Lalezarian & Village of Mineola for two redevelopment projects in Mineola; Beechwood Organization & Village of East Rockaway for a waterfront TOD in East Rockaway; Bartone/Terwilliger & Village of Farmingdale for a TOD in Farmingdale, the Gitto Group & Village of Port Jefferson for a TOD in uptown Port Jefferson; and East End Arts and the Westbury Arts Council for creating a sense of place providing arts, music and culture in our downtowns.
Our keynote speaker is NYS Comptroller Tom DiNapoli. Comptroller DiNapoli works with local municipalities to keep them financially healthy while he has been a fiscal watchdog and steward of New York State funds. As a former Long Island Smart Growth Award winner and advocate for local communities up in Albany we look forward to his economic message.
