• Misplaced Tractor-Trailer, Lane Closure On Wantagh State Parkway: 511NY (patch.com) — Drivers in and around Hicksville should expect delays on the Wantagh State Parkway northbound after a misplaced tractor-trailer forced a lane closure late Friday morning. The incident, reported by 511NY around 10:17 a.m., is affecting the stretch between Old Country Road and Brush Hollow Road, a key route for many local commuters.
• New Family-Owned Butcher Shop + Italian Sushi + $61M Downtown Project (patch.com) — Hicksville’s downtown is set for a major transformation, with the Town of Oyster Bay approving the $61 million Cornerstone Hicksville project on two acres along Jerusalem Avenue near the LIRR station, bringing more housing to the area. The same business roundup also highlights new shops and restaurants opening across Long Island, but the biggest long-term impact for locals is this large-scale redevelopment.
