New York STate Director of Smart Growth Planning Presents to Public on February 19th, 8:30am, At The Dennison Building In Hauppauge
Vision Long Island encourages Long Island civic, business, and environmental leaders to attend this important session, previewing the efforts of the Governor's Smart Growth Cabinet on Tuesday, February 19th at 8:30am at the H. Lee Dennison Building in Hauppauge. The Long Island Regional Planning Board will be hosting the meeting along with Suffolk County Executive Steve Levy. Over the course of the last six years, VISION has been collecting comments and recommendations with the participation of over 10,000 Long Islanders through 250 speakers, and 1,200 presentations. Some of these recommendations require state action. Prior to Tuesday's meeting, VISION will be producing these recommendations for state agency actions to advance Smart Growth on Long Island and throughout New York State. The challenge is daunting, as structural reform is needed the areas of ESDC, MTA, and NYS DOT, in particular. Please come and ask your questions directly to the Cabinet's new Director of Smart Growth Planning, Paul Beyer. We have had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Beyer in visits to the Governor's office over the past months. He is a supporter of innovative land-use planning and infrastructure techniques. We see him as an ally for bringing change to New York State. Please call 631-261-0242 or email us at info@visionlongisland.org to tell us if you will be attending this session. If you cannot attend, feel free to forward questions, comments, concerns, or recommendations to us for state agency actions and reforms.
