The Throggs Neck Business Improvement District (The BID) vehemently opposes the construction of housing or commercial development at the former Better Gro site and the adjacent lots or buildings until there is total and complete consultation, input and approval of local residents, community leaders and organizations, and the community planning board.
This massive, out-of-character development proposal, which has been shrouded in secrecy, has just been sprung upon the community without any details regarding its size or scope. It is totally out of step with our one-and two-family home neighborhood and its small shops.
This will radically alter the nature of our community, adding untold congestion, overwhelming our schools, transportation systems, basic services and infrastructure.
