It took ten years, but Trammel Crow got the go-ahead to demolish the Courtesy Hotel in West Hempstead and replace it with a beautiful new project.
You would think it wouldn't take ten years to replace something bad (by all accounts the Courtesy Hotel is a blight on the community) with something good, especially when that something good HAD THE FULL BACKING OF THE LOCAL CIVIC ASSOCIATIONS.
But Long Island being Long Island, it still took 10 years.
Going forward, I would love to see an ongoing dollar ticker on sites like this that demonstrate how much tax money is lost through municipal foot-dragging - a money clock along the lines of the one in Manhattan that tracks our national debt.
