Vassilaros Property
Subdivision Approved
Monday, June 1 at 4:00 PM
The Town of Brookhaven Planning Board approved the preliminary plan for a Subdivision with cluster treatment. This is not good news. We will continue to work towards preservation. Your participation is crucial as there is an upcoming SUFFOLK COUNTY resolution (IR-1458-2009) to use the open space dollars for other purposes. If passed this could seriously jeopardize any opportunity to save this parcel from development.
Click here for the Town Planning Board Agenda: Vassilaros Decision.
We are pleased to inform you that our legislator, Dan Losquadro, is against this bill. Please take a moment to contact the following county officials.
ACTION ALERT

We request that all our members Contact their Legislator to Protest the County's Attempt to use funds that are not within their legal purview to access or transfer as once again Suffolk County tries to undermine vital preservation and water protection funding necessary to sustain the source of our drinking water and the high quality of life for all Long Island communities!

Suffolk Legislators Plan to Raid Land Preservation Funding
Suffolk County Legislators Cameron Alden and DuWayne Gregory have introduced a damaging bill (Introductory Resolution 1458-2009) that would significantly reduce the amount of money the County has available to preserve open space, including farmland.
In 2007, Suffolk County voters proudly elected to extend the Drinking Water Protection Program, the County's most successful land preservation program. Now, this voter-approved plan is in serious jeopardy of losing money. The proposed bill calls for the reallocation of funds to be directed toward property tax stabilization instead of land preservation.
At such a pivotal time for land preservation in Suffolk County, as land prices have plummeted and development continues to aggressively encroach, it is vital that the County continues to have ample funds to help protect what is left.
What You Can Do
Please attend the public hearing on June 9th or take this opportunity to voice your strong opposition to the proposed bill.
