After two years of careful preparation that included multiple Melville community listening sessions, Huntington Supervisor Ed Smyth is moving forward with a proposal to create the Melville Town Centre through an overlay district that will expedite the repurposing of now underutilized office buildings into mixed-use housing and commercial spaces. This overlay district will allow development of a vibrant, walkable, Melville downtown where empty parking lots and half-filled office buildings are transformed into public spaces with restaurants, shops and much needed housing
