Town Vows To "Fight The Blight" In West Hempstead

Kate Murray's "Mission Accomplished" Banner To Hang From The Courtesy

“Fight The Blight” In West Hempstead
[Sung to the tune of The Bear Climbed Over The Mountain*]

Folks, it takes an entire Fleet of enemas to generate this much crap! As Ripley would say, “you can believe it, or NOT!”

*The Bear Climbed Over the Mountain

The bear climbed over the mountain,
The bear climbed over the mountain,
The bear climbed over the mountain,
And what do you think he saw?

He saw another mountain,
He saw another mountain,
He saw another mountain,
And what do you think he did?

He climbed the other mountain,
He climbed the other mountain,
He climbed the other mountain,
And what do you think he saw?

And on and on it goes. . .

The draft Urban Renewal Plan, now before the Hempstead Town Board of Zoning Appeals (copy available for review at the West Hempstead Public Library) calls for a density at half that proposed under the Trammell-Crow redevelopment plan -- effectively putting a nail in the coffin for the project favored by the West Hempstead community.

The Town's Board of Zoning Appeals (ZBA) has scheduled a public hearing on the draft Urban Renewal Plan for Wednesday, July 11, 2007 at 5 PM at the Town Meeting Pavilion, 1 Washington Street, Hempstead.

ALL WEST HEMPSTEAD RESIDENTS, AND THOSE SIMILARLY CONCERNED WITH THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THIS GATEWAY TO THE WEST HEMPSTEAD COMMUNITY ARE URGED TO REVIEW THE PLAN AND TO ATTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING ON JULY 11th.

Those unable to attend the July 11th Hearing are encouraged to offer comment in writing by letter to:

Hon. Gerald G. Wright,
Chairman
Zoning Board of Appeals
Town of Hempstead
1 Washington Street
Hempstead, New York 11550
