ORGANIZATION HISTORY: Describing itself as a “volunteer organization dedicated to protecting and improving the quality of life of the entire Port Washington peninsula,” (2002 34 th Anniversary Journal) Residents for a More Beautiful Port Washington was founded in 1968 by a small group of Port Washington residents concerned with loss of open space and proposed high­ density expansion in the community. Early efforts of the organization, spearheaded by founding members Susie Basser, Myron (Mike) Blumenfeld, Betty Forquer, Renee Greenspan, and Eric Pick, focused on beautification of Port Washington’s downtown, including the planting of street trees in the community. In its nearly forty year history, “Residents” has evolved to become a recognized environmental watchdog and advocate, recognized as a leader on the town, county, and state levels.

The organization has been on the forefront of efforts to maintain clean air and water. One of the group’s earliest successes was opposition to the Town of North Hempstead’s proposal, in the early 1970’s, to dump incinerated garbage from the Town incinerator into Hempstead Harbor. Lawsuits and civic activism prevented the plan from becoming a reality. Subsequently, “Residents” was instrumental in the removal of 93 rotting barges from the Harbor, and in the Town’s 1983 decision to close the Town landfill, located in the sandpits opposite Hempstead Harbor. “Residents” considers this one of the major accomplishments in its history. Following explosions in a neighborhood adjacent to the landfill caused by seeping methane gas, the organization actively lobbied local governments and regulatory agencies and conducted a public education campaign. Their efforts resulted in closure of the landfill and the decision of the federal Environmental Protection Agency to place the site on its ‘Superfund list’ of the nation’s most hazardous waste sites.

By the 1980’s, in recognition that work of this magnitude could not be carried out by volunteers alone, the organization rented space in a local building and hired staff to manage the day­to­day operations. In 1986, in response to the Town of North Hempstead proposal to construct an incinerator designed to burn 990 tons of garbage per day on land adjacent to the closed landfill, “Residents” brought suit against the Town, charging that an environmental impact study should have been conducted. The proposal was ultimately defeated, leading the organization into its next challenge, controlling overdevelopment of 450 acres of Town­owned land on which the incinerator was to have been constructed. This land, which the Town had purchased from Morewood Realty, a holding company associated with a defunct sand mining company, was commonly known as the Morewood Property. From the early 1990’s, “Residents” closely monitored development of this property. It became increasingly involved with issues of open space, public access, and sustainability.

In addition to these major environmental initiatives, Residents for a More Beautiful Port Washington has maintained its initial focus on beautification of the local community.

2 Working in cooperation with the Town and County, “Residents” maintains plantings at public spaces such as the post office and railroad station, and promotes the development of parks within the community. It has successfully reclaimed parking lots and other fallow areas for recreational uses, and has been instrumental in the creation of a shoreline trail along Manhasset Bay.

In addition, “Residents” is actively involved in ongoing collaborations with the Port Washington Public Schools, awarding yearly environmental grants to students and teachers, and developing environmental awareness programs for elementary school children.

SCOPE AND CONTENT: The collection contains records pertaining to the activities of Residents for a More Beautiful Port Washington, created or collected from 1968 through 2003. In addition to operational records, including those related to fundraising activities, the collection includes correspondence with officials of local municipalities and governmental agencies; reports and studies prepared by consultants for “Residents”; reports and studies collected by the organization pertaining to specific issues; and periodical articles and photographs highlighting organizational activities and the range of issues that the organization has been involved in since its establishment. Legal documents pertaining to suits brought by “Residents” against the Town of North Hempstead in the 1980’s and 1990’s are also included. The collection provides insight into the range of environmental challenges and quality of life issues faced by residents of the Port Washington peninsula during the later part of the twentieth century, specifically those impacting air and water quality, overdevelopment, and maintenance of open space.

ARRANGEMENT OF THE COLLECTION: The collection is arranged into eight record series: I. Organizational Records II. Subject Files III. Landfill Records IV. Munsey Cleaners Site Records V. Morewood Property Development Records VI. Myron Blumenfeld Papers, 1968­1988 VII. Photographs, DVDs, Videotapes VIII. Oversize Material
