Broad Hollow Bioscience Park cited as a reason to plan a transit-oriented village around Republic Airport

Our member Broad Hollow Bioscience Park was cited by economist Pearl Kamer of the Long Island Association as one reason for transit-oriented development around a reopened Long Island Railroad station at Republic Airport.

That station was closed in 1986, just before the final closure of Fairchild Republic Aircraft Company, but will now be key to plans for 1.2 million square feet of commercial, residential and commercial space. Ms. Kamer was quoted by The New York Times as saying that as Broad Hollow spurs development of a bioscience cluster along Route 110, there will be a need for new housing nearby.

Broad Hollow is in the process of opening its second incubator building.
