A project to bring a new hotel to Freeport’s Nautical Mile has received preliminary approval for economic incentives from the Town of Hempstead Industrial Development Agency. The $43 million project from Syosset-based NBD Holding LLC will bring a 100-room Hilton Garden Inn to a 1.61-acre site on Woodcleft Ave. The property was formerly occupied by Hunter Pointe Marina and The Schooner Restaurant.
