New Renovated Buildings on Mineola Boulevard [POLL]

New storefronts at renovated Raines Building are ready for occupancy.

Near the LIRR bridge on the corner of Mineola Boulevard and Third Avenue, a big red PC Realty sign hangs on the corner of the Raines Building advertising available spaces ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 sq. ft that can be built to suit.

From the corner of Third Avenue to the next corner of Old Country Road, the entire vicinity has been ready for occupancy since Wednesday morning. Since then, up to nine residents moved into the building.

The addresses of 39 Mineola Blvd. to 47 Mineola Blvd., the storefronts are aligned with new large tan and white colored bricks with green letters carved out for the addresses. The above street-levels are residentially zoned while the ground floor has been constructed with businesses in mind and a possible restaurant space between two other office areas.

Before the renovations, a Verizon store was located on the corner of Mineola Boulevard and Third Avenue with a law office on the other end. In the middle there was also a restaurant but these businesses were closed for renovation that lasted for almost 2 years. Now, that the buildings are newly renovated, they’re ready for buyers.

Construction manager Mark Donaruma said that buyers have been stopping by to look at the store but none of them have made any offers as of yet.

Vincent - I don't care what the cost per child is. The actual costs are for teacher andRead More administrator salaries, benefits, pensions etc. Patti - many of the parents and children are living in apartments and houses, some legally and some not, but definitely not in houses that they own. SLJ - Thank you!

Ms. Purdy: This is also a act that Mr. Herling should be refering to. An article in the WillistonRead More Times dated Friday May 24, 2013 states: "The Herricks Board of Education is hopeful that a bill drafted by state Sen. Jack Martins(R-Min) to financially penalize landlords who create illegal apartments will stop the practice in the Hericks school district. The bill in it's current form would empower the school district or a municipality in a school district to bring legal action against a landlord who creates an "unapproved conversion" of a single family or two family house to recoup the expense of educating children in those living situations in district shools." And if you don't think the same is happening in the Mineola School District I don't know what to say other than it's your tax money.
