WALT WHITMAN MALL EXPANSION PLANNED!!

                                                                                                    

 

A MASSIVE EXPANSION is planned for the Walt Whitman Mall.  A Site Plan is under review by Town of Huntington Officials.  The Site Plan calls for .....

 

- A 47% expansion in floor area, including parking garage.

- A 4-story parking garage to hold close to 1,500 cars.

- A Bus Depot attached to the parking garage.

- An addition to the entire length of the mall into the parking lot on the West side  (Route 110), part of which will be 2 stories, to accommodate new retail space and/or food concessions.

- Major expansions to the space currently leased by Saks and Macys.

- Removal of all landscaping on Route 110, with parking abutting the road.

 

WE BELIEVE the Mall expansion will increase traffic; increase crime; increase noise; increase litter and decrease property values.  We believe Simon Properties seeks to build another Roosevelt Field.

 

WE ARE The Huntington Coalition, formed to oppose and stop this mall expansion through community effort.  If you believe as we do; if you want more information; or if you want to REVIEW THE SITE PLAN, please join us at our next community meeting:
