P
eople in the Town of Oyster Bay were confused. Why were they not told of plans to open a homeless shelter at the old site of the former Hampton Inn hotel? Some residents were displeased with the mere idea of having the shelter in the area. However, the majority of people have offered to assist the newly created family support center. “On July 23, I was advised that the Nassau County Department of Social Services intends to relocate several families who are currently residing in squalid, inhumane conditions in several motels in Jericho to a new location at the recently-sold Hampton Inn,” Legislator Arnold Drucker (D—Plainview) said in a statement to Anton Media Group. “However, these plans were communicated to my office in a woefully inadequate manner.” The planned homeless shelter will take over the vacated hotel at the corner of Brush Hollow Road and Jericho Turnpike.
