TOB to acquire Peninsula Golf Club The Town of Oyster Bay has advanced plans to acquire and forever preserve the Peninsula Golf Course in Massapequa to ensure that it remains a golf course for public use indefinitely. After learning of an eminent sale of the property to a private sector developer, the Town sought zoning changes to protect it and opened negotiations with the current owner to forever preserve this beautiful open space to prevent development of this environmentally sensitive property. The property also serves to drain flood waters in a portion of the Town that was severely impacted by Superstorm Sandy. “The Peninsula Golf Course is too beautiful, environmentally sensitive and beneficial to allow development as it offers our community recreational opportunities,” said Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino. “Once we learned of the owner’s true intentions to sell this open space to a developer for future residential development, we asked them to sell us the property or voluntarily allow us to rezone the course as recreational space to forever protect it from development. Unfortunately, an agreement could not be reached. The Town continues to advocate for the need of our residents, a protected environment and for the ever-increasing demand for golf. We are now moving forward to acquire this property at a fair price, See page 13
