14 Things People Want to See Happen in Glen Cove

Many residents want to see more retail stores come to Glen Cove in 2014.

On Thursday, we asked Glen Cove Patch Facebook readers to tell us what they want to see happen in Glen Cove in 2014.

Here's what they said: 

  • Open stores, the movie theatre we need to bring Glen Cove to life
  • I would love not to travel 30 minutes to buy a shirt or pair of pants..we definitely need some stores !!!
  • Less empty store fronts. More of a variety of businesses.
  • Retail stores so we don't have to fight the crowds at the mall. Shoes, clothes, especially for kids!
  • All the above and some kid friendly restaurants!
  • I would love for the movie theater to re-open!
  • Trader joes! Home goods! Waterfront DONE including a city marina for residents
  • Create a tax base that's fair for property owners instead of raping them with double digit increases for the last administration and have term limits on elected officials in office. GC politics stink there's too much favoritism.
  •  I want a Target! Please!
  • Remove the red light camera at by School St. Cottage Row and Forest Ave.
  • The ferry. Affordable pricing and a sane schedule that is competitive with the LIRR. The creation of jobs by and around the ferry, and sustainable green energy architecture (solar) that helps keep costs low.
  • More opened stores, Waterfront done, theater open, & FIOS-TV finally allowed to start up.
  • A dog park!
  • Let's start with something easy......Fix some of these Pot Holes all over Glen Cove & level off some of the speed bumps on Forest Ave. Horrible!!!!!
