THE SCOOP
Floral Park, which sits on the Nassau-Queens border, is convenient for residents who commute to jobs in the tristate area, says Mayor Kevin Fitzgerald, who calls the incorporated village a cluster of "beautiful homes on tree-lined sidewalk streets."
Some residents are concerned that a parking lot in the nearly complete UBS Arena, a $1.5 billion multipurpose facility adjacent to Belmont Park, abuts up to three residential blocks. "We’ve been working with the Empire State Development Corp. to get a proper stone barrier [between the lot and the homes]," Fitzgerald says. The arena is scheduled to open this fall.
Another issue is the MTA’s Third Rail project. To help compensate the community for the impact of construction, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority endowed a community benefit fund to pay an engineering firm to develop ideas on improving the look and feel of the village as well as boosting commerce. The recommendations should be released this fall, Fitzgerald says.
"We have our own police, fire, sanitation, and parks departments and schools that are hands-down among the finest," says longtime resident Kim Flanagan, a salesperson with of Signature Premier Properties. It’s a compassionate community, too, she says. Local proceeds from a 2019 St. Baldrick’s fundraiser to help fight children's cancer were among the highest in the nation, according to the foundation.
"Despite being so close to the city, Floral Park has maintained a true sense of community," Fitzgerald says. "It’s an easy community to get involved in because everyone is involved in it."
