Project Lighthouse project public hearing

DO YOU SUPPORT THE LIGHTHOUSE? ATTEND THE ZONING HEARING
A zoning hearing has been scheduled for the Lighthouse project and all
supporters are needed to attend. The hearing has been scheduled to take
place on Tuesday, September 22nd at the Adams Playhouse, on the campus of
Hofstra University. The meeting will run in two sessions. The day session
will run from 9am - 5pm with a one-hour break from 1pm - 2pm. The night
session is scheduled to run from 6pm - 9pm.
This next step makes all the difference. At the last meeting, those in
attendance had the opportunity to voice their thoughts on the environmental
impact of the project. This upcoming meeting will focus on the zoning of
the entire project. Why is it important to have a multi-use development
plan at the Coliseum site? What are the benefits of smart growth? Why does
Long Island need this? This is your chance to tell Supervisor Kate Murray
and the Town Board. You may also submit your comments to the Town in writing
by clicking here, by emailing lighthou...@tohmail.org or sending a
letter to Lighthouse Comment, One Washington Street, Hempstead, NY 11550.
We need as strong a crowd at this hearing as we had at the last, if not
stronger. Though it may seem like one meeting doesn't matter, your presence
makes all the difference in this process. At the last hearing, the crowd
spoke volumes. The amount of people that came showed the Board that this
project must get done. We hope that the message projected at the next
meeting is: this project will get done.
Now is not the time to fade out. We have come so far and we're getting
so close to a resolution. Come to our September 22nd zoning hearing and
tell the Board why we need the Lighthouse. Your attendance can make a
difference.
