North Hempstead Needs Senior Housing – Build Some at Roslyn Country Club

Town of North Hempstead should build senior housing at the Roslyn country Club and re-open the Alvin Petrus Park.

I was so happy to see that the Town of North Hempstead is going to purchase the Roslyn Country Club.

It’s great news because the Town of North Hempstead now has extra land to build much needed senior housing.

In Port Washington, the Town of North Hempstead was looking to build senior housing on the site of a 60 year old park called the Alvin Petrus Park. One day the Town of North Hempstead put of a fence closing this park off to the 250 children that live in the area. This fence remains up today and these children have to play in a parking lot.

Please sign our online petition to re-open this park.

Come to the town hall board meeting on July 31 and tell Mr. Kaiman and the town board that senior housing is just what is needed in Roslyn and that the children in Port Washignton should have their park back.

Let’s all congratulate Supervisor Jon Kaiman for figuring out how to house seniors and reopen a park with one purchase of land.

Would love to hear everyones comments.
