2004: Land Use in Nassau and Suffolk Counties
Please Note: These reports are available in PDF format.
About the report
An analysis of the breakdown by acreage and percentage for Nassau and Suffolk counties is provided with insights into the development patterns that constitute the built environment. The material is presented in graphic form, and shows the contrast that has occurred from 1980 to 2000. It has been updated to the present, in terms of land use development, according to building permits issued since 2000.
Building permit data alone does not mean that construction has occurred. But, it does signal that the land involved is committed to such usage. In addition, subdivision and site design approvals have also been examined to determine other additional commitments of land where building permits have not yet been applied for.
