Public Input Needed for Nanuet Transit Oriented Development Project

NANUET, NY — The Town of Clarkstown is seeking public input on the Nanuet Transit Oriented Development Plan. Two workshops are scheduled, one for 10 a.m. Saturday and the second for 7 p.m. Monday.

The hamlet of Nanuet is uniquely poised for redevelopment, officials said. It is strategically located near the junction of the New York State Thruway, New York State Route 59, and the Metro North rail line operated by New Jersey Transit.

Also, Nanuet is a prime locale for housing, commuting, shopping and leisure. The plan may include: a new multimodal transit station on the existing line; mixed-use retail and office; residential units; pedestrian paths; pedestrian-friendly storefront streets; and parks.

The Nanuet TOD Project has been awarded a $150,000 NYSERDA Cleaner Greener Communities Grant.

Town officials are looking for residents and businesses to provide input as they develop a plan for the area around the Nanuet train station. Attendees will learn more about the project and be able to give their ideas. The project is funded by the NYSERDA Cleaner Greener Communities Program.

Both workshops will take place at the Nanuet High School Auditorium, 103 Church Street, Nanuet. Residents and business owners can choose which date is more convenient for them.
