Kings Park Public Meeting for Nissequogue River State Park

kings parkOn Thursday, March 26 at 7pm, a public information meeting will be held to discuss the new Nissequogue River State Park in Kings Park. The meeting will outline a proposal to demolish 14 buildings at the former Kings Park Psychiatric Center property, which will be the first phase in a long remediation plan. Plans to clean up the 365 acre site and cost estimates will be addressed in an engineering study to begin next month, and will be presented at the meeting.

Lead public figures in this project include New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Commissioner Carol Ash and State Senator John J. Flanagan. Sen. Flanagan said, “I am pleased that Commissioner Ash has agreed to meet with the community and that the remediation of this park is moving forward. Her willingness to discuss the future of this park directly with the residents is a great sign for the future. This land is important to the entire Kings Park area and I look forward to continuing to work with Commissioner Ash to make sure that everyone’s voice is heard on this issue.”

The meeting will take place at the Kings Park High School auditorium. For more information, see Newsday and this from Senator Flanagan.
