STOP Massive Overdevelopment of the Five Towns!
1000’s of apartments proposed!
Non-Partisan Issue

We Need Your Help!
SIGN This Petition TO SAVE OUR COMMUNITY.

Our Suburban Way of Life is Under Attack!! 
Calling All Residents to protect our homes, families and suburban quality of life. 
We must stand together and demand that our elected officials stop the proposed over-development in our communities.

Massive 4 and 5 story apartment buildings, with 300-400+ parking spots each, are planned in Cedarhurst, Hewlett, Inwood, N. Lawrence (over the train tracks), and Woodmere. 
We must tell our elected officials NO MORE! We are not sacrificing our suburban way of life and safety for the profits of developers.

The Town of Hempstead IDA (Industrial Development Agency) is fueling these projects in our neighborhood. Imagine the congestion and more!!

The IDA already approved the Amazon Warehouse on Rockaway BLVD which most days is bumper to bumper in both directions. Rockaway BLVD cannot handle the traffic it has today! 

Between the 6th Town (The Woodmere Club), Pearsall Project, 25 Wanser, 370 Bayview Avenue, the Redfern Avenue project, and Franklin Avenue, our community is facing the prospect of 1000’s more apartments.

Most of these projects is planning for 300-400+ parking spots. 
In addition, Rockaway Village just completed 1,700 new apartments (blocks away) in Far Rockaway. By law, the new buildings must include work force/low income housing. 
Alarmingly, most of the projects listed above are entitled to expedited approvals in the Town of Hempstead, bypassing site plan reviews that are usually required. 

Using dollars and political influence to erase suburban life, these developments will negatively impact our suburban quality of life: 
increase in crippling traffic ● unavailable street and lot parking ● strain on local infrastructure (sanitation, utilities, sewer systems) ● increase taxes ● increase crime ● toxic fumes and environmental pollution ● strain on emergency and safety services ● burden on the schools ● impossible evacuations

The developers and the IDAs want us to go to sleep and stay there. We must stay awake and speak up NOW to all elected officials from your local town governments, the Town of Hempstead and the IDAs before it’s too late. 

Please sign the Petition using your full name and contact info to register your opposition to over-development/urbanization of the 5 Towns and surrounding areas! This will show our local, Nassau County, and state elected officials and the IDA that you say NO to overdevelopment - Save Our Suburbs! 
PLEASE Make the Moratorium PERMANENT!

Share this information with your family, friends, and neighbors so together we can STOP the massive overdevelopment of our neighborhoods!

Every signature matters!
