  •  Straightening of Gibbs Pond Rd & Rosevale  has begun  click  
  • The Sachem SchoolBudget & Tax increase is Zero. Through a combination of close to zero school tax increases and favorable equalization rates Smithtown-Sachem school taxes have actually decreased over the last 5 years taxes. Stimulus restoration of state aid may help keep taxes at close to zero until 2011-12.
  • In October we found drug needles at the Bavarian Inn. We closed the place, held a Drug Alert meeting and introduced an anonymous tip line (854-TIPS). The results were amazing, many arrests were made, a tip led to a dealer being arrested with 10,000 bags of heroin. Smithtown and Sachem are taking steps to eliminate drugs in schools. 1,000 people just met in Smithtown to address the problem and most dealers have stopped selling out of their homes. 
  • Legislator John Kennedy convinced the County to buy the remaining trailers in front of Ronkonkoma Park. The area will be fenced with black iron pickets. We will be working with Parks to make good use of the land. Want to help?
  • When the Gibbs Pond-Portion Intersection is completed, there will be a large triangular plot. The N-SCA will be involved beautifying and maintaining it.  Want to help

The County just purchased the 5.8 acre, 200 yr old Commerdinger homestead located in the center of Lilly Pond Park . Hopefully, the Walter S. Commerdinger Jr. pocket park will be opened to the public on Sept. 15, 2007. It is an amazing addition to our neighborhood. It will become home to dozens of local activates, a museum, Audubon tours, guided boat tours.  If you would like a tour call 588-6161

The freshwater pond called Raconkamuck ( Ronkonkoma ) served as a boundary between lands occupied by four Indian communities: The word Raconkamuck translates as ``the boundary fishing

place'' in the Algonquian language. For over a hundred years oral tradition claimed that a crossroad within Lilly Pond Park was the place that the Nissequogue, Setauket, Secatogue and Unkechaug Sachems met to discuss tribal matters and disputes. Currently the NSCA is working with local Algonquians to establish the tradition as fact.

The Armory Becomes a Library Bill  click

The Smithtown Library plans to expand their current library facilities throughout the town click

The Armory Park ... The athletic fields and parking is under construction. The current

project includes a playground, parking lot, 1/2 mile asphalt fitness trail, restroom building, utilities,

and 2 full size soccer (Multi-purpose) fields. Tennis Courts and a Deck Hockey Court may also be

built as alternates. The parking area is oversized in anticipation of the future library which will be at

the existing Armory. The Library is trying to build a new building on the site and move out of the

Shopping Center across the street. Hopefully that will be decided later this year. In the meantime,

the fields should be completed by the end of summer. The soccer fields probably will not be open

until 2007 so that the turf can be established. Soccer fields were chosen as they are in the highest demand according to parks and recreation. To better facilitate Little League, Brown's Road Park

was completely overhauled to better facilitate baseball.

2004-5 Nesconset Issue Ballot Results click to see what your neighbors think

LONG ISLAND WORKFORCE (low Income) HOUSING LEGISLATION : The bill mandates that Long Island towns approve subdivisions which will provide a family of four earning below 80 percent of Long Island 's median income with a residence for 30 years. It requires builders to give the towns 10 percent of homes they build and forces the towns to adopt a local law or ordinance specifying how they will comply with the bill. The bill and jacket mentions rentals several times, not once, does it mention homes. This bill is about forcing Long Island towns and taxpayers to subsidized low income apartments. The bill could seriously impact our community and your property values. Storybook homes has a 90 acre site that could be used to accommodate this law. We have spoken to our town officials and received promises that the site will not be re-zoned. If there is a change we will let you know.
