Community Memorial Hospital, NE Hicksville Land Plan

The Hicksville Master Plan was envisioned as a means of coordinating development efforts throughout the Village and providing a document that would support future grant applications. Since funding was limited for the completion of a Village-wide comprehensive plan, it was decided the plan would be developed in a series of modules. This project represented Module 1 and consisted primarily of the area of the Village generally defined as between Community Memorial Hospital and the Hicksville Industrial Park.

DGL reviewed available data and proposed a solution to address prevalent flooding north of the hospital, and provided a list of data to Hicksville Business and Industry Committee (HB&IC) needed to support the Plan, including existing utility infrastructure, existing roadway infrastructure build-up, traffic projection from businesses expected to use new roadway, etc. We also performed conceptual assessment of new roadway and utility infrastructure recommended to accommodate projected usage and developed a proposed land use plan incorporating DGL’s roadway, utility, and surface drainage recommendations. We prepared the prioritized work list with approximate costs to implement plan recommendations and reviewed the draft plan with individuals selected by the HB&IC prior to finalization of the document. DGL also provided a series of funding resources for consideration in implementing the suggestions made within the strategic plan.
