Readers Write: Address empty stores

The Island Now

Why on earth has it taken so long for the Great Neck authorities to show concern to the alarming increase in store closures in Great Neck?
Hardly a day passes without another store closing.
Even many of the stores still in business are advertising huge sale discounts in a desperate attempt to survive.
Among the reasons being touted for this alarming trend are frequent unaffordable rent increases, tax hikes and tightening parking restrictions.
The Great Neck villages have to address this alarming trend without further delay before Great Neck turns into a ghost town.
