“To improve the quality of life for the Hicksville community by encouraging

HGCA Mission Statement

We have developed an open line of communication with the Town of Oyster Bay
and elected officials at the County, State and Federal levels

What We Have Done

We have done all this, and more, as a community of resident homeowners who care,
who wish to leave our neighborhood a little bit better than we found it, and,
to establish a community of which we can all be proud to call home!

Lowe's - We worked to prohibit the use of Bloomingdale Road and Willis Court as their primary route of access for deliveries.
This helped to preserve the residential area along those roadways.

Bagga Property (formerly TJ Courtney’s) - We are working to ensure that the future development of this property is
something that community will welcome and accept.

We are actively monitoring and reviewing community projects. Some of these include the following:

CVS Pharmacies (South Oyster Bay Road & Stewart Avenue and 399 Jerusalem Avenue) - Presented restrictive covenants to the
Town Board to ensure that the development would not adversely affect local homeowners.

Miyako Hibachi & Sushi Bar - We monitored the development of the exhaust system so that it would not adversely affect local
homeowners.

Taco Bell - We worked closely with the owner of Delco Plaza to ensure a beautiful and safe atmosphere for the new location.
The waste disposal system is "state of the art" thanks to Yum Brands, Inc. (owners of Taco Bell).

We prevented the Bauman Bus Corporation from moving into our neighborhood and building a bus depot first proposed on the corner
of Bloomingdale & South Broadway and later proposed on New South Road just north east of the LIRR tracks.

We rallied in numbers to protest and voice our objections against the establishment of a motel on South Broadway & Gerald Avenue
(Bagga Property).

We worked with the NYS to reconstruct the median on So. Broadway between Gerald Avenue and Somerset Avenue. This resulted in
a more attractive landscaped median and eliminated the previous eyesore.

We were involved in, or monitored, the development of the following community projects:

We have volunteers who are have attended C.E.R.T. (Community Emergency Response Team) training courses to better prepare our
community in case of an emergency. This is an ongoing project.

We established an Oil Consortium to secure better capped oil prices with a FREE service contract.

We created, and now maintain, an "Adopt-A-Spot" at the corner of Broadway and Lee Avenue.

We are working with the town to crack down on illegal housing within our community and we have the department of Code
Enforcement working with us to deal with everyday quality of life issues which affect our property values.

Town Parking Garage - We are supportive of the Duffy Park Civic Association and its effort to ensure that the reconstruction is
community friendly.

South Broadway Plaza (formerly Avnit Plaza) - We brought attention to the variances from the Town Code during construction

Calpine Power Plant (on So. Broadway across from Lowe's) - We are working with the EPA to analyze the air quality of the
"plume" or mist that is produced in that area during the cooling process.

Hooker Chemical/Ruco Polymer Site (on New South Road) - We are working with the Federal EPA, the State DEC and the
Hicksville Water District to monitor the clean-up process currently underway.

We had the "Welcome To Hicksville" sign on South Broadway moved north to the triangle at South Oyster Bay Road and in a joint
effort with Lowe's we were able to beautify the site. The HGCA now maintains it as well.

We constantly strive to help beautify our community. Our efforts include the following:

We maintain the landscaping at the Lee Avenue Triangle and the South Broadway Triangle.

We are involved in spring and fall clean-up projects in the community.

We have petitioned the State to plant on the South Broadway median.

We worked with former Assemblyman Rob Walker to plant trees along the South Broadway median.

We have a committee working with Senator Charles Schumer and Cablevision to diminish helicopter noise in the community.

Downtown Revitalization - We have a committee that attends meetings both at the governmental and community levels to
provide input in the development of "Downtown Hicksville".
