Suffolk County terminated its deal with JLL as the master developer of the $2.8 billion Midway Crossing project in Ronkonkoma, citing insufficient progress in hiring and financing. The county plans to restart the development, seeking new proposals for the 179-acre site. JLL disputes the decision, claiming it had financing and partners in place. The development, originally slated to take 10-15 years, includes 2.7 million square feet of mixed-use space, such as a convention center, hotel, and health sciences facilities. Despite setbacks, including litigation and delays, local officials remain hopeful but frustrated over the lack of tangible progress.
