Lindenhurst Village Mayor Michael Lavorata and Babylon Village Mayor Mary Adams often share ideas, and discuss their visions for the communities they represent.

Mayor Michael Lavorata said, “Village Mayors are more closely connected to one another than their residents may realize. We, local government officials, have to work together and share ideas for the greater good for our residents.”

As we enter this Winter Season, the Village of Lindenhurst would like to remind our residents of some of the ways they can help to keep our Village safe during the cold & snow.

· Now that temperatures are dropping, if you have lawn sprinklers that spray or drain onto sidewalks and roadways, please make the necessary adjustments to avoid the creation of dangerous, icy conditions for pedestrians and cyclists.

· Be alert to weather advisories. To receive alerts directly to your phone or email, please sign up for our emergency alerts system:

· As soon as you are aware that bad weather is on the way:

o Make every effort to keep your car off the street. This protects your car from being plowed in, or being hit by passing vehicles, and the snowplow has space to safely plow the snow.

o If you have an outdoor portable basketball hoop, as per Village Code, it must be removed from the Village roadway. This is especially important to keep the roadway clear for the safe and efficient removal of snow by our Village plows.

· When shoveling snow out of the mouth of your driveway, please throw the snow to the right of your driveway (the direction to your right when you are looking at the street from your property). Throwing or plowing snow into the road can create a patch of snow and ice and cause a hazardous condition. Please note, it is unlawful to shovel or dump snow into spaces reserved for handicap parking.

· Please note the following important emergency numbers:

Fire/Rescue — (631) 226-1212

Police Emergency — 911

Department of Public Works — (631) 957-7520

Code Enforcement – (631) 957-7519

Public Safety – (631) 793-5366

PSEG – 1-800-490-0075 to report downed wires and hazardous conditions

If there is an emergency, please call 911.

Join us for a magical evening on November 23, 2024 at 5:30 PM at Village Square Park Gazebo as we gather to admire the beautifully decorated trees from local community groups.

This is the second consecutive year the Lindenhurst Historical Society has garnered funding allowing the Society to acquire collection management and preservation supplies.

Lindenhurst, NY – During a recent exhibit-organizing work session at the nearly renovated Old Village Hall Museum, Lindenhurst Museum Director Marianne Guglieri and Lindenhurst Village Historian Anna Jaeger paused to demonstrate how newly acquired collection management supplies will expand and improve the Lindenhurst Historical Society’s conservation and preservation supplies and practices. This is the second consecutive year the Lindenhurst Historical Society successfully garnered a NYSCA/Greater Hudson Heritage Network Preservation Supplies Grant. This year’s funding allowed the Society to purchase seven (7) Garment/Textile Preservation Kits.

“As we endured the hiatus in our ability to manage and utilize the exhibit space afforded to us by the Village due to the relocation, renovations and repairs of both the Old Village Hall Museum and the Lindenhurst c.1915 Historical House Museum, we seized on the opportunity to assess our conservation and preservation practices to better enhance our efforts to protect our extensive collection of artifacts and historic objects,” said Museum Director Guglieri. “The generous grant funding we received from the Greater Hudson Heritage Network has allowed us to purchase necessary and appropriate preservation kits enabling us to safely and reliably store the textiles and clothing that comprise a significant part of the entire historical collection,” continued Ms. Guglieri. “This year’s funding was allocated towards archival boxes designed to protect our extensive wedding dress and formal wear collection.”

Museum docents and Lindenhurst Historical Society volunteers continue to partner with the Inc. Village of Lindenhurst to complete renovations, repairs and improvements at both the Old Village Hall Museum(located at Irmisch Park) and the circa 1915 Lindenhurst Historic Home Museum (located at 272 South Wellwood Avenue).

The Lindenhurst Moose Lodge recently hosted one of the Village of Lindenhurst’s Summer Concert Series shows. During the show, members of the Moose Lodge collected donations for the Christina Renna Foundation, in honor of September being childhood cancer awareness month.

“No parent should hear the words ‘your child has cancer and there is nothing we can do’,” recounted Mayor Lavorata from the foundation’s website, “The Christina Renna Foundation is doing important work to get to a place where those words do not need to be spoken.”
