Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi brought his redevelopment trunk show to Oyster Bay on March 4. The day began with a bus tour for heads of local organizations and ended with a public forum at the Oyster Bay High School Auditorium.

Problems and solutions filled the air as the Suozzi Economic Development bus tour looked at Economic Development Area 4. It gave a great view of what is happening in the entire area.

He is applying to the town for a Special Use permit for putting up high-end apartments, he said. FULL STORY
