Nassau encourages transit-oriented development around Long Island Rail Road stations through downtown overlays, mixed-use zoning, and state grants. Implementation occurs at the village and town level, not directly by the county.
New York State has prioritized transit-oriented development with downtown revitalization grants and the 2024 housing compact framework. Nassau LIRR hubs in Mineola, Hicksville, Westbury, Hempstead, and others have adopted overlay zoning permitting four to seven story mixed-use buildings within walking distance of stations. The county supports planning through the Nassau County Department of Planning and infrastructure investment via DPW, but base zoning authority belongs to towns and villages. State funding sources include NY Forward, Downtown Revitalization Initiative, and MTA station-area planning support.
TOD overlays are zoning incentives, not mandates; non-conforming projects must use base zoning or seek variances or special permits before construction.
