500 Commack officialy up for sale

Haven't heard that. Plum Island is off limits to general population due to communicable diseases being researched there. Hope they don't move any of this to Commack Road as we live in area but desperately want out of Long Island.

But it a fact that CDC operates a low profile Primate Research Center in nearby in Kings Park. Believe it is in the former state hospital. This from a Bio Phd who said they have hazmat procedures in place due to nature of work. Testing drug induced behaviors of primates. Bet the locals have no clue what's going on in their backyard. Wouldn't ever want to live in that god-awful area.

seems legit

The Primate Center wasn't very low key when they escaped and had to be rounded up in the neighborhood. It was quite a show over in Kings Park. That was maybe 3-4 years ago.
 


















If this site does not remain the training center, what are the alternatives?

It's no longer a training center. Gone out of state. This site being purchased then leased by Real estate holding company. Word is part of facility (one wing) to be leased out to Dept Homeland Security for NYC/LI detention center. Rest leased out to private sector.

Mostly incorrect, current plan is building being purchased by a developer( Steel Equities), google it and you should find some news on it, I have seen in LI Business news. Forest/ Actavis will lease and hold on to some areas mostly for training. NO DHS will be at site. Not sure if Allergan purchase will change any training plans, but for next couple of years this is the plan. Training is still taking place at the CMK site classes scheduled for December, lots of short term classes, 1 week and they are completed and then a new class arrives.

Thanks for info. So DHS is not going there after all ?

No DHS is not going there, all of the nonsense rumors were false, not PSEG, Verizon, or DHS. It will be a commercial development, hopefully it will be successful so that the building doesn't end up empty and another empty commercial property on LI. There are a lot of vacant buildings, which hurts the taxes for the communities surrounding them.

YES it will be commercial development. Evertything is 'Commercial Development" .That is simply a cover story for the kool aide drinking public. Word is DHS is coming and installing a SCIF at this site. They cannot disclose this as it will compromise security. Whether or not it is also incarceration or holding pen is TBD. I personally doubt it. This info would never be detailed in a public disclosure. It will be apparent once the fences go up.

Please shut up with your stupid comments, there will be no DHS at the site. you are either a fool, psycho, or someone throwing out ridiculous ideas fishing for info, except all of the info has already been said, and is public knowledge.
 






In training this week at Commack. Instructor said this place shutting down in 2015. Didn't say anything about bee ownership but heard rumors about DHS being a tenant. So poster may be right.
