The LONG ISLAND 2035 development approach of the 20th century will not sustain our communities in the 21st century – fiscally, environmentally, or socially. Long Island’s modern era evolved A sustainable Long Island is a place that out of the shared aspirations of its residents for a new suburban lifestyle. People were offers an affordable, high quality of life, a drawn to Long Island because it offered them the opportunity to improve the quality strong economy, and equitable communities of their lives. Long Island’s idyllic beauty – beaches, open space, clean air – offered allowing everyone to enjoy the cherished refuge from the clamour of New York City, though close enough to capture the city’s quality of life that Long Islanders desire. The economic, educational and cultural opportunities. Long Islanders appreciated finding strategies span a spectrum of issues that will address the needs of today while also affordable housing, the ability to make a home for their family, and quality of positioning Long Island for tomorrow. education for their children. People shared a common vision for their suburban community, and grew a system of local government that was led by their peers and • Tax & Governance afforded them a voice in its governance. The system also left a legacy of racial • Economy segregation and economically disadvantaged communities. • Environment & Infrastructure • Equity Today Long Island faces an affordability crisis that threatens the cherished quality of Together, this package of strategies will life in the region. Due to some of the most expensive government and school district create a positive environment for living and costs in the nation, Long Island’s ideals are now threatened by a taxpayer burden that working on Long Island while also helping is escalating at a pace too costly to be sustainable. Coupled with an uncertain Long Island prepare for the changing economic outlook, communities subject to neglect, development patterns that create economic, social and environmental context congestion, a transportation system that has not evolved in decades, and limited of 21st century living. To achieve this vision a choices for housing diversity, the quality of life that made the Long Island dream a series of near, mid and long-term actions are reality for so many is now deteriorating. required in these areas of strategic interest. Despite these challenges, Long Island has a tremendous opportunity to redefine what it means to live in a sustainable 21st century suburban community, recognizing it is possible for Long Island to be affordable and prosperous, bringing a return to economic growth and strength. Our ability to act today – and leave behind the status quo - will have a tremendous impact on the future of the region. Long Island Sustainability Plan 7 Long Island 2035: Securing a Sustainable Future The Process Introduction A regional comprehensive sustainability plan must be comprehensive, integrated, and focused on near-and long-term solutions. It must also enjoy widespread support among leaders and community members who will collectively implement the vision set forth in the plan. The process and approach underpinning the Long Island 2035 Regional Comprehensive Sustainability Plan have ensured input and discussion about each element of our Sustainability Plan. In addition to ongoing dialogue with government officials and stakeholder participants, a combination of data collection, study coordination, independent research and focus group workshops helped ground this Sustainability Plan in the realities of present day Long Island. Long Island 2035 Regional Visioning Initiative and Workshop The Long Island Regional Planning Council (LIRPC) along with Nassau and Suffolk Counties launched this bold initiative in 2009, to assess the position of Long Island relative to environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Long Island 2035, the long-term sustainability plan for Long Island, identifies the key opportunity areas and issues of concern among Long Islanders from across the region. Its intent is to ensure Long Island continues to maintain a position of strength and to maintain the quality of life for which Long Island is so well known. The foundation for the Long Island sustainability planning process was the Long Island 2035 Regional Visioning Initiative funded by the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) the designated Metropolitan Planning Organization for the region. The purpose of the Regional Visioning Initiative was to help achieve a regional public consensus for where the next generation of Long Islanders could live and work, the transportation systems needed to support these settlements and the institutional actions required to ensure a prosperous, equitable and environmentally sustainable Long Island. The Visioning Initiative was guided by an Executive Committee working with both a Municipal and Stakeholder Committee. The Executive Committee included representatives of the LIRPC, Nassau and Suffolk Counties, NYMTC, the Federal Highway Administration, the New York State Department of Transportation, the Metropolitan Transit Authority and the Long Island Rail Road. The Municipal Committee consisted of town, village and city officials. The Stakeholder Committee included representatives of business, labor, environmental, not-for-profits, community and the civic constituencies. Long Island Sustainability Plan 8 Long Island 2035: Securing a Sustainable Future The components of the Regional Visioning Initiative included: • An inventory and analysis of local plans and studies • Lessons learned from other regions • Analysis and mapping of existing conditions, constraints and opportunities • Projections of opportunities and trends • Organization of committees of municipal officials and private stakeholders • Visioning workshop bringing together participants from across the Island • Alternative 2035 scenarios to frame development and policy choices A Visioning Workshop was convened in March 2009 and was attended by elected officials, civic, business and environmental leaders from across the Island. A Findings Report summarizing the results of the Visioning Workshop to find common ground on where to place Long Island’s projected growth in population and employment was completed. A Final Report on the LI 2035 Regional Visioning Initiative which includes the results of the Visioning Workshop and both baseline and alternative scenarios for 2035 was presented in December 2009. The Report consolidates the findings from the Visioning Workshop into alternative growth scenarios and provides an evaluation of their respective impacts on land use, infrastructure, natural resources, equity and other issues facing the Island. Long Island 2035 Regional Comprehensive Sustainability Plan Utilizing the results of the Regional Visioning Initiative, the Long Island Regional Planning Council’s Long Island 2035 Regional Comprehensive Sustainability Plan process began with a series of charrettes hosted with key government officials and private sector stakeholders representing the diversity of interest groups on Long Island, known as the Leadership Advisory Cabinet. The Leadership Advisory Cabinet (LAC) was an important body for testing and vetting strengths, weaknesses, issues and opportunities facing the region. Through collaborative charrettes the LAC identified a vision, goals and objectives for the Long Island 2035 Regional Comprehensive Sustainability Plan. The focus areas of the plan that address both issues and opportunities were initially grouped into four general areas: Economy, Infrastructure, Human Systems, and the Built and Natural Environments.
