Dear Suffolk-Rootsers, etc.,


Today's NEWSDAY (page A35) has an article (the first 3 paragraphs appear
after my signature) about the City of Glen Cove reaching a licensing
agreement with Fox Navigation that will bring ferry service between the City
of Glen Cove and New London, CT.

There are already New London--Orient and New London--Fishers Island ferries
plying the Sound and thus one might be able to go by ferry from the City of
Glen Cove to Fishers Island after changing ferries in New London and vice
versa.

For those who have their copy of the 1998 LI Population Survey or have
already downloaded the report from the Suffolk County Cooperative Library web
site (e-Mail me directly if you need instructions on how to access and
download the report), you'll find the City of Glen Cove (incorporated and
made independent of the Town of Oyster Bay in 1910), Nassau County on pages 5
and 11 (map) & 10 (population estimate).

For all those Suffolk-Rootsers who wish to see the entire story but can not
access the web, please e-Mail me directly and I will then e-Mail the entire
story to you.


Sincerely,

Walter Greenspan

Glen Cove To Get / Ferry / Service would connect Conn.
--by Olivia Winslow. STAFF WRITER

Glen Cove Mayor Thomas Suozzi announced yesterday the city has
reached a licensing agreement with Fox Navigation that will bring ferry
service between Glen Cove and New London, Conn., generating "funding and
excitement" for the city's waterfront revitalization plan.
Suozzi said the ferry would run from a 2.5-acre site that is part of
the former Captain's Cove site, once the center of the city's industrial
district, on Glen Cove Creek. He said the ferry is to start operating
early next year.
Suozzi said the agreement also means that the controversial proposal
of Fox Navigation, an enterprise of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal
Nation-which owns the Foxwoods Casino and Resort in Connecticut-to
operate a ferry service out of Glenwood Landing in the Town of Oyster
Bay was dead.
