Presentation: The Suffolk County Department of Economic Development and Planning (EDP) initiated a land use update at the request of the Suffolk County Department of Health Services (DHS) in support of the development of the Suffolk County Sub-Watersheds Wastewater Plan – Suffolk County Management Program for the Reduction of Nitrogen Loading from Wastewater Sources (SWP). EDP was asked to analyze “land use”, “land available for development” and residential “buildout” for all of Suffolk County. This includes the analysis of all ten towns, and thirty three villages in the County. The number of separate parcels investigated totaled well over a half-million parcels. This support initiative for the DHS SWP was conducted in two phases: Existing Land Use Inventory/Land available for Development and Residential Buildout.

AICP-CM Credits are being requested. 

Registration: This is a free event. Space is limited, please RSVP to Christine DeSalvo at planning@suffolkcountyny.gov by July 27th, 2018.

The Long Island Section is pleased to announce that three planners and one planning student have been awarded the 2018 Arthur Kunz Memorial Scholarship for attendance at the APA National Conference in April 2018.

Congratulations to Lucia Cappuccio, assistant planner at the City of Long Beach; Matt Charters, a planner at the Town of Southampton; Matthew Esposito, a planner at the Town of Babylon; and Kendra Armstead, a student at Hunter College who also works full time for an environmental firm on Long Island. Attending the conference itself is an inspiring experience, with lots of learning and networking opportunities, and is guaranteed to inspire and shape the professional paths of attending planners. This year’s winners join a long list of previous scholarship winners including APA Metro Chapter’s President Max Sokol, AICP and dozens of others since 1995.

The LI Section also looks forward to honoring this year’s recipients at the 2018 Arthur Kunz Memorial Scholarship Breakfast to be held this spring. Details on the event will be announced soon!
