Since the first residents of Alston moved in four years ago, local businesses have flourished, with Pete D'Onofrio's pizzeria reporting the best business in its 46-year history. D'Onofrio notes, "More people, more customers. It's good for the community. When you got people around, if you do the right thing, you're going to be better." This illustrates how revitalization efforts can have a significant positive impact on long-standing local businesses.
Brookhaven Town officials compare the transformation around Ronkonkoma's Long Island Rail Road station to Patchogue's downtown revival, emphasizing that the $1.2 billion Station Yards is revitalizing a previously rundown area. With hundreds of new residents contributing fresh cash and older shopping plazas being overhauled, local economy and community vibrancy are on the rise, promising further growth as construction continues.
As construction continues at Station Yards, a total of 1,052 apartments will be built alongside extensive retail and office spaces, changing the landscape of the area. Developer Tritec Real Estate indicates that since the project began, over 200 additional apartments have already been completed in its second phase, positively impacting economic activity in the surrounding neighborhoods.
