In an effort to upgrade and improve the Lindenhurst Fire Department equipment, the Village has purchased a 100’ Heavy Duty Aerial Tower Ladder Truck. The former ladder truck was over 21 years old.

Mayor Michael Lavorata said, “The new truck was designed by a committee of Lindenhurst Fire Department officials who conducted many improvements to make the aerial tower truck safer and more efficient.”

Trustee Patrick Pichichero, who is the Village Board liaison to the LFD Fire Council said, “The LFD also received a $254,000.00 Federal grant to help fund the purchase of the ladder truck.”

Trustee RJ Renna said, “Our goal has been to upgrade our equipment, whenever possible, to provide the best means of protection for the people of Lindenhurst.”

Congratulations to Mary Romeo on her appointment to the Lindenhurst Planning Board.  Ms. Romeo will fill the unexpired term of Andrew Gargiulo who has retired from the Board after many years of dedicated service to the Lindenhurst Community.

Mayor Lavorata said, “It was an honor to appoint Mary Romeo, and I thank her for her willingness to serve.  The future of our Lindenhurst Community depends on people like Mary getting involved and serving on the Planning Board.”  Deputy Mayor Maryann Weckerle added, “Your central duty as a Planning Board member is a tough one; to determine how to balance the public good with private rights, interests, and industrial, business, and multi-residence development.  Good luck to you on your appointment.”
