Long Beach Holding Special Meeting On Super Block Development

LONG BEACH, NY — The Long Beach City Council is holding a special meeting tonight about the development of the Super Block.

At 6 p.m., the City Council will be holding its meeting online with the Garden City-based Engel Burman Group to discuss the developer's proposal for the Super Block.

The Super Block is a long-vacant property in the heart of the city. It has been the source of many legal battles and troubles for the city. It was purchased by Engel Burman last year from iStar Financial, which owned the property for years.

Last year, it was reported that Engel Burman was planning to build apartments on the site, with the possibility of include retail space.

Residents will be able to watch the meeting live on the city's Youtube page.
