I am pleased to announce that the Village of Farmingdale's website, www.farmingdalevillage.org, has been remodeled and enhanced to help keep you better informed and abreast of the happenings in our village. The new, easy-to-navigate format, puts a wealth of information at your fingertips. It's packed with information on our village government including our meeting schedules and upcoming events. We have added an information "ticker" to the top of the website where any important or breaking news can be posted. This will be used to inform village residents of special directions or instructions in the event of an emergency or situation that may require resident notification.

We hope that this will be your first place to visit when looking for information about our village. In our quest to keep our residents as informed as possible we have made it easy for viewers to retrieve copies of the Farmingdale Village Report (our Newsletter), my weekly Farmingdale Observer Column and recent press releases. The Village Directory section includes all the information and contact numbers you might need to call for any assistance or have any questions pertaining to village services answered. The Village Regulations section allows you to view sections of the village code, print out certain permits and applications, read our good neighbor rules and read various legal notices. The new Shop Farmingdale section provides a direct link to our Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce where you can learn more about the wide variety of Farmingdale businesses waiting to serve you. We have also added a useful link section where you can quickly get to the Town of Oyster Bay and Nassau County websites as well as other useful sites. The updated website is just another tool that we are providing to help keep our residents as updated as possible on the happenings in our village. We hope you will visit it often.
