On Thursday, September 21st, 2023, David Viana along with the Village of Mineola Mayor Paul Pereira hosted a tour of downtown Mineola. Representatives from the MTA, NICE Bus, NYU Langone Research & Academic Center and Lalezarian Properties were also in attendance and spoke at the various stops along the tour. The tour highlighted how growth and development throughout the Village over the last decade have been integral to the successful revitalization of Mineola’s downtown. The tour began at the recently completed Mineola Long Island Rail Road Station, which serves as a major transportation hub for all of Nassau County and is a great complement to the ongoing downtown revitalization of Mineola.

The Long Island Section would like to thank David Viana and Mayor Paul Pereira for organizing and hosting an informative and fun afternoon in the downtown, as well as the representatives from the MTA, NICE Bus, NYU Langone Research & Academic Center and Lalezarian Properties. We look forward to more walking tours this year!
