Brookhaven Plans Public Information Meeting On Mastic Beach Redevelopment

MASTIC BEACH, NY — A public information meeting to discuss the Mastic Beach Neighborhood Road Revitalization project will be hosted Thursday inside the William Floyd High School Auditorium, officials said.

The meeting will be hosted by Supervisor Dan Panico, Councilwoman Karen Dunne Kesnig, who will be joined by the Beechwood Organization, the master developer for the project.

It will include an update on the overall project, and a presentation of the proposed land-use plan for the redevelopment area. Residents will be invited to visit multiple break-out stations where representatives from Beechwood and the town will be on hand to provide more in-depth details about the plan, as well as gather comments and feedback.

Panico, who grew up in Mastic Beach, said the project will help pen "a new positive chapter" in the history of the hamlet.

"I am 100 percent committed to raising the quality of life for all and seeing this project through with the input of the community," he said.

Kesnig called the project "an important and significant next step in the much-needed redevelopment of Neighborhood Road."

“Once we have established the land use plan, the Town and Beechwood will be able to move forward with the many different tasks that lie ahead before an official groundbreaking," she added.

Beechwood principal and president Steven Dubb said his organization is "getting closer to bringing to life" the development.

"Our priority over the last few years has been to gain an understanding from the people who live, work and own in Mastic Beach of what they would like to see happen," he said. "We’re now looking forward to share the plan we’ve formulated, for which we also welcome feedback."

The meeting will run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at 240 Mastic Beach Rd., Mastic Beach.
