Great opportunities exist in Port Jefferson Station for the community and local government to provide alternative uses for underutilized property, the intent of this project. This website was created to expand public awareness in this opportunity towards the goal of a revitalized and reborn area around the train station.
We are now well into the 21st Century and the Port Jefferson Station area has become highly developed, in some cases, while remaining underutilized with respect to its glorious potential as not only a transportation hub, but as a thriving community. To that end we must address the needs and desires of the residents to protect and enhance the assets of the community while improving the quality of life of all. This is best achieved by promoting the development of a historic looking Main Street with a mix of residential and commercial space. A Main Street that is friendly and safe, walkable and accessible, aesthetically pleasing and functional. A Main Street that flourishes with the vitality of neighborhood and community.
The long rich history of the Port Jefferson Train Station as a transportation hub is firmly etched in our communities DNA. Going all the way back to the birth of the shipbuilding industry through the turn of the century and WW2 era manufacturing at the Wilson Lace Mill and the Loper Brothers Lumber Yard, Port Jefferson Station has been a pivotal hub for the commerce centers of the community.
Between the train, ferries, and bus service, it is not only easy to reach local points of interest like Stony Brook University and our outstanding hospitals in St. Charles and Mather, but also New York City and Connecticut.
We want a revitalized Port Jefferson Station! Please help us spread the word!
I am a resident of port jefferson station . I am very excited about this project and would like more information on how to help on moving forward with the project.
I would like to see them put money in to area and try and get rid of junkies and bums by train station. The area needs a new life. We know traffic sucks but that’s majority of Long Island.
