Could Gov. Kathy Hochul’s plan to use state land for housing begin in Ronkonkoma?
Brothers Jim and Robert Coughlan, who together head Tritec Real Estate, are certainly thinking about it.
On a recent tour of the $1 billion Ronkonkoma Hub development now known as Station Yards, just to the north of the Long Island Rail Road tracks, the Coughlans pointed to two surface parking lots owned by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. They would be open, they said, to the idea of building additional housing on the MTA land — if the MTA and the state were willing partners.
