Suffolk County Landbank Receives the "Creating A Sense of Place" Award for Lawrence Aviation at the 2025 Vision Long Island Smart Growth Awards

Earlier this month, the Suffolk County Landbank was awarded the “Creating a Sense of Place” Award for the Lawrence Aviation Superfund Redevelopment Plan at Vision Long Island’s 2025 Smart Growth Awards. The Suffolk County Landbank has been working on redeveloping the 126-acre superfund site in Port Jefferson Station and has recently sold a third of the land to the Town of Brookhaven to be preserved as open space.

The Landbank would like to thank Executive Director Eric Alexander and his team for this great honor and County Executive Ed Romaine for his support as we work towards closing on the remainder of the property.
