The board of trustees of Great Neck Estates is exploring a proposal brought forth by resident boaters, who are seeking village approval to construct a marina that would provide slips for 15-20 motor boats. The proposed project hinges on three key factors. The first is the environmental impact to Little Neck Bay and wetlands, which requires permits from three authorities, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers and the New York Department of State (DOS). The second consideration is the financial implication to the village for such a project. Last, but far from least, is the degree of support or opposition of village residents for a marina in Great Neck Estates. FULL STORY
