Hempstead’s town board approved a special exception for a car wash expansion on Feb. 10, but with a specific caveat: business owners must fly the American flag. As of March 17, the business was not flying the American flag.
“I did go look at the property as it is currently. There is no flagpole. Would your client be willing to add a flagpole with the American flag?” Town Supervisor John Ferretti said at the hearing.
