Farmingdale resident John Streich, a letter carrier in East Meadow, was presented with the New York State Senate Liberty Medal last week for his heroic effort of saving a man's life at The Knolls, a senior citizen community in East Meadow. FULL STORY

At the March 19 Town of Oyster Bay meeting, a public hearing was held regarding the possibility of a senior housing facility to be constructed on Hempstead Turnpike in Farmingdale. Wayne Paul Corp, the applicant, came before the town board to request a zoning change. The property, located just over 720 feet east of Dolphin Drive, is currently zoned "NB" (Neighborhood Business) and the applicants asked the town to consider changing to "RSC-25," Multi-Family Senior Citizen Residence, formerly known as "S-2," so they could construct a 62-unit cooperative housing facility for senior citizens. The applicant is also requesting modification of restrictive covenants which limit the use of the property to the operation of a senior citizen residence home. FULL STORY
