Gaughran, who represents the 5th district on the North Shore, from Glen Cove to Huntington, advised that land use and development on Long Island and other nearby suburbs of the megapolis New York, including Westchester, upstate towns, most of Connecticut and New Jersey have faced issues related to zoning laws, managing demand for development and how one municipality’s development changes planning, layouts and lifestyles of its neighbors.
