The NorthWest Civic Association of Hicksville would like to thank the town board for its courage and wisdom to deny the Costco Wholesale Corporation's application. We are confident that the comments of the residents, the true expert witnesses, had been seriously considered in reaching your decision.

You have demonstrated to us a commitment to responsible development, that all development does not automatically advance the goals of the town and that every application should be based on its individual merit and the effect it will have on the community!

We hope the Costco Corporation will have the same integrity and takes this opportunity to further its commitment to working with communities by accepting the decision of the town board.
