Statement of County Executive Steve Levy in Response
to US Department of Homeland Security Fact Sheet on
Plum Island Facility
Hauppauge, NY –In response to a news release
and fact sheet issued today by the United States
Department of Homeland Security announcing plans to
replace the Plum Island Animal Disease Center, County
Executive Steve Levy has joined with Senator Hillary
Rodham Clinton and Congressman Timothy Bishop in
calling upon the federal government to involve local
and state officials in its plans for this important
facility.
Levy said that he was dismayed by the lack of
notification by the department of its intentions to
conduct a "requirements analysis process" to replace
the Plum Island facility, particularly in light of
recent assurances made by the Department to consult
with New York's representatives on Plum Island's
future.
Levy urged the Department of Homeland Security to meet
with New York's federal, state and local
representatives to make clear its intentions for the
Plum Island facility and to garner local input. He
said he would be working with Senator Clinton and
Congressman Bishop to facilitate such a meeting.
