North Hempstead implements alternate members for Board of Zoning Appeals

The Town of North Hempstead Board of Zoning Appeals will be adding alternate members to serve on the board when sitting members are absent in order to prevent delays in applications.

“We would not want to be in a position that a business owner or resident is not able to have their application heard because of the absence of a BZA member,” Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena said. “It’s a contingency that I think is useful.”
