Wyandanch Rising is a major community revitalization initiative which seeks to transform an economically distressed downtown into a transit-oriented, pedestrian friendly, environmentally sustainable downtown.  Wyandanch is centrally located on Long Island, in the Town of Babylon, New York.  It is less than 1 hour away from New York City’s Penn Station on the main line of the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), and has easy access to all major arterial roadways and a commuter airport.  The Town of Babylon has assembled the acreage necessary to redevelop around the Wyandanch LIRR station.

To advance the Wyandanch Rising initiative the Town has undertaken a number of actions which include the installation of a sanitary sewer system, the beautification and realignment of Straight Path (already underway and paid-for with public funds), and the adoption of a form-based zoning code that will allow appropriate TOD densities. Looking ahead, the Town will seek a master developer to implement a transformational mixed-use project with a range of housing types, commercial uses and public spaces.
