Lieber in August and organized a at attended by real estate mogul Donald Trump, who first conceived plans for a 70,000 square-foot restaurant catering facility in 2006 at the site of the former Boardwalk Café. Trump’s $30 million project has been held up in litigation the last three years due to the State Review Board objecting to his plans for a basement in a flood zone.

Lieber of Plainview was previously chief of staff to former State Sen. Craig Johnson. Last month Lieber about the ARJB’s efforts to get Trump on the Ocean built at a South Merrick Civic Association meeting.
