HGCA Mission Statement
Calpine Power Plant
This property is located at 939 So. Broadway
(on the Grumman property across from Lowe's)
This structure is highly visible by the large plume of condensation that occurs particularly on moist, humid
days.  The plume is the after product of untreated ground water being used to cool its outer core.
We are concerned with the content of that untreated ground water and its effects.

Bagga Property
This property is located at 594 So. Broadway
(at Gerald Avenue - site of the original T.J. Courtney’s Restaurant)
In 2005, public outcry against a hotel on this property was instrumental
in TOBAY denying permits for it's development.

In 2009 new plans were submitted to develop 11 apartments over retail stores.
The HGCA opposed the development of the apartments and the Town has denied
the application.

South Bloomingdale Plaza
(Formerly Avnit Plaza)
This property is located at the "5 Corners" intersection
(So. Broadway and Bloomingdale Road)
The property has been developed into a shopping plaza
after being granted a variance by the Town of Oyster Bay.
Development is being monitored by the HGCA because of prior violations.

Downtown Revitalization Study
The Hicksville Downtown Revitalization Study started under the former County Executive Tom Suozzi
with the "Cool Downtowns" Study.  This study provided for the Hicksville community to identify a
"downtown" area and subsequently present ideas as to how to develop that area.  Currently there are two
organizations, Vision Long Island and Sustainable Long Island that are involved in the revitalization process.

Hooker Chemical/Ruco Polymer Site
This property (14.86 acres) is located on New South Road
(just north of the railroad tracks)
The Hooker Chemical/Ruco Polymer site is on the National Priorities List (NPL) of hazardous waste sites.
Plastics, polyesters and other synthetic polymers were manufactured on site from 1945 - 1982.
The on-site disposal of liquid waste contaminated the soil with hazardous waste (PCB's among others).
Currently the site is being cleaned up and the HGCA is monitoring the operation.
