Brookhaven Supervisor Mark Lesko unveiled a series of new policies to fight blight. The idea is to "shift the mindset away from developing virgin land and redeveloping the suburban blighted properties" into walkable mixed used areas. The plan includes identification of areas in need of most redevelopment, creation of new redevelpment overlay incentive district which will allow developers more options and an analysis of parts of the town where sewer capacity can be either expanded or better utilized to serve new development. Development proposals will be prioritized on three criteria: the severity of the blight, community benefits and proximity to public transportation and downtown areas. |
