Show us a Long Island downtown redevelopment project anytime over the last quarter-century, and we’ll show you how Eric Alexander was involved.
As the veteran director of Vision Long Island and founder of the Long Island Main Street Alliance, Eric has filled several vital socioeconomic roles during his self-described “25-year tour”: innovator, planner, fundraiser, uniter.
The notion of “downtown” may have evolved, but downtowns are still vitally important – and Eric leads a critical, multifaceted mission to make sure Island downtown do-overs are done right, with sustainability, workforce housing, transportation and other important issues in mind.
The longtime lobbyist joins Spark host Gregory Zeller to discuss his organizations’ ongoing efforts to balance Long Island social, commercial and economic scales – and share his beliefs that the Island’s best days are yet to come.
