Nicholas Cappadora Addresses Need for Transit-Oriented Developments on Long Island

Nicholas Cappadora, an Associate with the Firm, published an article titled "Finding the Right Location, Zoning and Attitude for Transit-Oriented Development" in the September 2018 issue of The Nassau Lawyer. In the article, Mr. Cappadora discusses the many benefits that Transit-Oriented Developments (TOD) can bring to Long Island, and how municipalities can streamline the zoning approval process to promote such projects in their communities.

In the article, Mr. Cappadora explains some of the typical challenges local municipalities face when trying to implement TOD projects and how to overcome them. He also details the efforts of a few Long Island municipalities that have successfully implemented a TOD zoning scheme.

“The process is about people, and without the support of the people, a community cannot achieve the transformative growth that is providing more local residents the opportunity to remain on Long Island, revitalize economically depressed downtowns, strengthen and diversify the tax base and propel Long Island into the future,” he wrote.
