To keep our recent college grads from leaving create specific 35 and under housing around transit hubs. This would be the first step in growing our stagnant local economy. AMH

With Health Care on Long Island being the largest employer why not create an inexpensive and competitive nursing program at Nassau Community College? It would be a conduit for the next generation to lay roots in our community, help the local economy and enable residents to get a quality education without breaking the bank. There is already a great two-year program on campus.

By closing a portion of the road near shops and places to go, it will enable a pedestrian atmosphere.

Example test area that could be experimented: Plainview Shopping Center on south oyster Bay Road, and the shopping area across the street. Close of roads and have a street fair. Make a safe and walkable environment. Evaluate how this works and ask residents and visitors what they think.

Great way to support the arts and dress up vacant retail space until leased.
