Why it matters
The creation of affordable housing is critical for Long Island, where rising costs are making it difficult for young professionals, working families, and seniors to remain in the community. The Perry & Main project specifically addresses this need by replacing long-vacant, blighted properties with quality housing and new commercial space, strengthening the local economic corridor.
This development is part of a broader state strategy to combat the housing crisis. The state has certified more than 450 communities, including the village of Port Jefferson, as Pro-Housing, indicating a widespread commitment to using state funding and reforms, such as changes to SEQRA, to speed up development across the state.
