During the Glen Cove City Council meeting of April 25, Mayor Thomas Suozzi announced that the city plans to reassess property in Glen Cove by June 1, 2001. And next week, the city council will decide which firm will conduct the reassessment. Mayor Suozzi said, "The current system is simply unfair. By reassessing, Glen Cove is leading the way toward fairness and equity in the assessment system. The current system is costing Glen Cove taxpayers $3 million in tax refunds this year alone; that's $1 million for the city and $2 million for the school district." FULL STORY

The pedestrian walkway is an integral part of the city's ambitious waterfront revitalization effort. In fact, when re-zoning the area in anticipation of future construction, the city included specifications that any development must include pedestrian access along the water. FULL STORY
