Save our Shoreline Coalition

The SAVE OUR SHORELINE COALITION, made up of environmental and neighborhood groups, worked together to successfully oppose Southern Land Company’s proposed construction of a 7-story, 176-unit luxury apartment building and motorboat marina on the last remaining green corridor on Hempstead Harbor. With over 350 + residents and their cars, the building would have polluted local beaches, trails and parks and over-stress town infrastructure. The West Shore Road location jeopardized the integrity of the neighboring nature preserve and establishes a dangerous precedent for further development along our shores.

On May 29, 2024 the TONH Planning Department issued a letter to the attorney for the applicant of the 145 West Shore Road project deeming application CLOSED.

Let’s continue the vital mission of protecting and revitalizing our Hempstead Harbor waters, our fast-disappearing wetlands, and our green spaces. Let’s work together to secure a flourishing and resilient ecosystem on our precious peninsula for all future generations to enjoy.
