Building Department
The first phase of the Covert Fire property which is shoring and foundation, is near complete and the building should start to rise soon. Construction continues at the proposed restaurant at 99 Covert Avenue and is expected to be completed in the next few months. The re-construction and interior improvements at the 266 Jericho Turnpike fire property is ongoing and expected to be completed this summer. The apartment building at 1 Carnation Avenue is nearly complete and occupancy is expected to start in the Spring. The proposed Auto Zone at 2 Whitney Avenue (the old Rite Aid), will start renovations in the next few weeks. Permits will be issued shortly for 212 Jericho Turnpike, formerly the Firestone building. The new owner will operate an auto repair shop in the rear portion of the first floor and the rest of the building will be retail and office space. There are no updates or meetings scheduled at this time for the proposed large-scale mixed use development project at 144-162 Jericho Turnpike. A reminder to all business owners: it is your responsibility to maintain your property and the adjacent sidewalks free from any garbage or debris accumulation. On windy garbage nights, please make sure your garbage is at the curb and secure so it is not blowing all over the business district leaving a mess for your fellow business owners and residents.
