To the Editor:
Thank you for the excellent piece by Adam Zielinski titled “Save the Holgate Marsh for Greater Good.” I agree that the former wetlands should be saved and not developed. We have enough houses, condos and paved properties on the Island, crowding out the potential for water absorption. The only reason for building on this land bordering Webster, Pennsylvania and Susan avenues in Holgate would be greed.
There is little vacant land left, and this property has the potential to become a wetland again.
