Not only will the opening soon of the Suffolk Theater under Bob Castaldi's direction breathe new life into downtown, but "another new project," in the shape of an "apartment building at the Long Island Science Center," could be next, Walter said.

Although no further details were immediately available, Walter said Martin Sendlewski, architect and planner, could be involved in the project.
