SAND CITY SOUTH HOSTS LINDENHURST CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The Lindenhurst Chamber of Commerce was recently treated to a special tasting and tour of Sand City South Brewing Company, located at 150 South Wellwood Avenue, Lindenhurst.  The event was held in honor of the launch of Sand City’s newest brew, “It Takes A Village” – “a beer that seeks to focus on the idea that when the tide rises, all boats in the harbor rise.”  The tour was very informative on how Sand City brews beer, and how they put beer into the cans.

Village Administrator Douglas Madlon said, “Sand City Brewery has become a popular destination for socializing and fun in the heart of our revitalized Lindenhurst Downtown.”

Pictured here on the tour are Sand City South staff, and Lindenhurst Chamber of Commerce members.

Mayor’s Message – May 2022

by

The Village of Lindenhurst in conjunction with the United Veteran Council will resume its Memorial Day Parade tradition after a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic on Monday, May 30, 2022.
The parade will kick off with a ceremony at Breslau Cemetery at 8:00 AM. From there, the parade will head west on Newark Street, turn south on Delaware Avenue, and turn west on Charles Street where it will stop at Lindenhurst Fireman’s Memorial Park. At Fireman’s Memorial Park, another ceremony will take place. The parade will then head west on Hartford Street, and turn south on Wellwood Avenue. The parade will proceed down to the World War I Memorial at the intersection of Wellwood and Hoffman Avenues for another brief ceremony. The parade will once again proceed south on Wellwood Avenue for a closing ceremony on Lindenhurst Village Hall.
I, along with the rest of the Village Board, are encouraging residents to show their support for our veterans but also being sure to remember those we have lost. Please join our veterans, local officials, clergy, and local performers at Village Hall for the closing ceremony as we reflect and remember the sacrifices of those who gave their lives in service to our country.
The Memorial Day Remembrance ceremony will take place on South Wellwood Avenue at Lindenhurst Village Hall, 430 South Wellwood Avenue, immediately following the parade. We hope you can join us as we honor those who have served our country.

LINDENHURST LITTLE LEAGUE OPENING DAY

There are certain signs of Spring — birds start singing, trees start budding, and Little League baseball begins throughout our Lindenhurst community!

The Lindenhurst American and National Little Leagues’ traditional parades were back in full force on Saturday April 23rd, after having to scale down opening day festivities the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Opening Day ceremonies included a number of presentations by League Presidents Jason Peckholdt (American) and Bill Atkinson (National), with the first pitch thrown out by Mayor Michael Lavorata.  The Lindenhurst and North Lindenhurst Fire Departments joined the parades with trucks shining, horns beeping, and bands playing to celebrate the dedicated kids and coaches as they begin another season of competitive fun.

Suffolk County Announces Electric Vehicle and Charging Infrastructure

Suffolk County celebrated Earth Day at the Lindenhurst Memorial Library with the announcement of a partnership with local libraries and municipalities to expand Countywide electric vehicle charging capabilities with a $12 million investment for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.

The goal is to make investments in the Countywide Electric Vehicle Infrastructure, including the purchase of electric vehicles – the first of which was delivered today.

This new initiative from Suffolk County aligns with the sustainability efforts of both the Village of Lindenhurst and the Lindenhurst Memorial Library – which is the third library in the Country to be certified as a “Sustainable Library. The Village of Lindenhurst has undertaken its own sustainability efforts with the installation of a solar carport at the commuter lot, solar panels at Village Hall, and LED streetlights.

 

Mayor Lavorata stated, “The Village of Lindenhurst, along with the Lindenhurst Memorial Library, are happy to contribute to the overall sustainability efforts in Suffolk County.”

Pictured here is County Executive Steve Bellone, Presiding Officer Kevin McCaffrey, and others with the newly purchased Nissan Leaf electric vehicle.
