Residents pack Williston Park Village Hall amid concern over proposed 18-unit townhouse project

In a standing-room-only meeting, over 75 residents filled Williston Park Village Hall on Monday, Oct. 20, to hear a proposal for 18 new rental units across five townhouses at 700 Willis Ave., where a TD Bank once stood. 

The proposal was submitted by property owner Dean Poll, who has owned the lot for decades and previously operated restaurants like Papas and Riverbay at the location. It includes 36 parking spaces, the number required by the village code.
