Long Beach BoE Statement on Wayfarer-Superblock Project
The Nassau IDA voted on July 28 on the proposed development by Wayfarer
LLC of the Superblock property located on the boardwalk between
Riverside and Long Beach Boulevards, and rejected their request for a
PILOT. From the outset the District monitored the progress of this
proposal and provided comment to the IDA. At a public meeting on July
26th, the Board of Education rejected a proposal by Wayfarer LLC. The
Board took several factors into consideration, including the short
timeframe afforded us and concerns raised by the community and Board of
Education members.
The Board will continue to be mindful of community and taxpayer concerns
while promoting the educational mission of the District.
