In 2023, the City of Glen Cove retained BFJ to update its Comprehensive Plan. Glen Cove is a growing city of approximately 28,000 people located on the north shore of Long Island. This initiative was primarily funded by New York Department of State and New York Department of Environmental Conservation grants and Glen Cove sought to  incorporate Smart Growth principles and Climate Smart Community sustainability elements throughout their new Plan. Major themes addressed include water quality and supply, downtown improvements, walkability and street safety, coastal resilience, and parking strategies. The new Comprehensive Plan will guide the City through the next decade by identifying appropriate recommendations for smart growth policies, such as infill development and multi-modal transportation opportunities, to foster sustainable growth. BFJ also conducted the State Environmental Quality Review (SEQR) to examine potential adverse environmental impacts of the adoption on the Comprehensive Plan.
