Sorry about no update yesterday. We're gearing up for our Central Park Challenge tomorrow and things are a bit busy.
Seems that NIMBY (Not in My Backyard)is still alive and well in some communities, unfortunately.
WESTBURY, N.Y. -- The village is asking the Nassau County Association for the Help of Retarded Citizens (AHRC) to look elsewhere when it comes to operating another community residence for children and adults with intellectual and other developmental disabilities.
Earlier this year, AHRC, a non-profit organization, entered into a contract to purchase a home on Rugby Road for the intention of operating a community residence. While sympathetic to the needs of the AHRC client population, as well as the services the agency provides, Westbury officials believe the village has "done its share to be welcoming and accommodating to persons with these and similar needs . . .” when compared to some neighboring communities.
