Oyster Bay Cove residents rallied on Jan. 27 against a 28-unit workforce housing proposal on Sandy Hill Road. The property owner, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, has developed plans to turn the single-family home into an apartment complex for its employees.
“Oyster Bay Cove is not equipped to deal with such a big influx of individuals moving in,” said Evelyn Ains, a member of Save Oyster Bay Cove, a resident group combatting the proposal. Ains has lived in Oyster Bay Cove for 20 years.
