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 23^rd, 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.”

LINDENHURST TEAMS WITH PROPERTY REGISTRATION CHAMPIONS

Lindenhurst Village Trustee Patrick M. Pichichero has announced that, in an effort to enhance property maintenance compliance, and streamline workload, the Village of Lindenhurst has hired Property Registration Champions LLC (ProChamps), a private company, to administer the Village’s recently adopted Foreclosure and Vacant Property Registration program.  ProChamps will oversee a data base of the overwhelming number of mortgage foreclosures of residential and commercial properties.  Abandoned and foreclosed properties often become eyesores and nuisance problems with neglected landscaping, debris build-up, structure maintenance issues, and can even become an attraction for squatters.  Currently 97 homes in the Village of Lindenhurst are in mortgage default.

“Our goal is to combat blight, and improve quality of life, through this proactive, property registration program,” said Trustee Pichichero.

As part of the program, banks must register their contact information for homes in default on their mortgage.  ProChamps staff researches, identifies, and contacts the responsible parties.  ProChamps creates and maintains a register of the foreclosed properties, and Village Code Enforcement can then utilize this cutting edge, web-based interactive data base to communicate directly with the responsible parties, saving time and manpower.

Deputy Mayor Maryann Weckerle added, “We are excited to implement this program, at no cost to the Village, or property owners.”

 

This Valentine’s Day, the seniors at the Rainbow Senior Center participated in a Paint & Sip party. Participants enjoyed sparkling non-alcoholic wine, along with cheese and crackers (brought in by the seniors) while they painted a beautiful large glass votive holder. The Rainbow Center’s art instructor, Cielo Vazquez, provided step by step instructions and everyone left with beautifully painted holders and battery operated votive candles. The seniors expressed their enjoyment with the class and had a wonderful time!

Stop by the Rainbow Senior Center to participate in one of the many programs offered! For more information about the Rainbow Senior Center, please contact (631) 957-7526.

The Lindenhurst Economic Development Committee (LEDC) has put out a survey regarding the Downtown Business District (Wellwood and Hoffman Avenues). This is a follow-up to the survey done in 2015 by the LEDC. The goal is to collect a wide range of information regarding the improvements to the downtown, as well as any additional suggestions that residents, property owners, merchants, and consumers may have about economic activity in the Lindenhurst community.

The survey can be found at the following link: https://forms.office.com/r/n0JbMqKPf4. Paper copies are available at Village Hall.

Responses will be accepted through February 13, 2022.

If you have any questions regarding the survey, please send an email to info@villageoflindenhurstny.gov.

The Rainbow Senior Center will be closed today, 1/31/22, to allow for the safe removal of snow and ice.

In the event of a winter storm, the Village of Lindenhurst Department of Public Works asks each resident to do the following:

1. Keep vehicles off the road. Put your vehicle in your driveway, or ask a neighbor to share theirs. If a driveway is not an options, lawns can be used to park vehicles only in the event of storm where the roadways need to be cleared (this will not harm the lawn). The Village is not responsible for damages that occur during a snow event.
2. Try not to clear your driveway until the plows are finished. When the street is completed, pile the snow to the right of the driveway.
3. Do not blow snow into the roadway. A summons can be issued for doing so and creating a road hazard.
4. Keep your vehicle all the way in your driveway. Do not have it hanging into the roadway while the roads are being plowed. The drivers may not see it and damage to the vehicle may occur.

The Village is not responsible for any damages that occur during a snow event. 

If all residents follow these suggestions, it will allow the Department of Public Works to do their job quickly and safely.

Main roads and emergency snow routes will be first priority and then side streets to follow.

For questions about plowing, please contact the Department of Public Works at (631) 957-7520 or highway@villageoflindenhurstny.gov . Facebook will not be utilized as a means of reporting streets that need to be plowed.
