Huntington: Town Scales Back Housing Plans For Melville Rezoning

"Ahead of a public hearing Tuesday, Huntington Town has scaled back a plan to transform parts of Melville into a walkable community with housing and businesses following feedback from a civic group, Town Supervisor Ed Smyth (R) said. The most notable of four changes involves reducing the total number of housing units from 3,000 to 2,500 in both the town center and the mixed-use area combined," Newsday reported. "Smyth said the changes were in response to requests from residents and the Sweet Hollow Civic Association, which represents nearly 2,500 residents in a dozen civic, homeowner and community associations."
