ESD will be holding a Public Hearing, open to all persons, on Wednesday April 30, 2014 from 5:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at Long Island University, 75 DeKalb Avenue, Room HS107, Brooklyn, New York.   The public hearing will allow all interested persons an opportunity to provide comments on the DSEIS and Proposed Amendment under SEQRA and the UDC Act, respectively.  Protocols for the hearing are provided below for your review.  Written comments on the DSEIS will be accepted through Monday, May 12, 2014, and written comments on the Proposed Amendment will be accepted through Friday, May 30, 2014.  Written comments should be delivered to ESD at 633 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10017, Attention: Derek Lynch, or may be submitted by e-mail to [email protected].  All email submissions will receive an email response confirming receipt from Mr. Lynch within two business days.
