Farmingdale Civic Group Hosts Town Hall Meeting Tonight

Farmingdale residents are invited to a town hall-style civic meeting Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the meeting room.

The Concerned Citizens Assocation of Farmingdale (CCAF) will provide time for open dialogue and debate and hopes some consensus will form on issues critical to everyday life.

"Long Island and the country continues to stall in a weak economy, higher taxes, higher costs for goods that impact our daily life, poor to little significant job growth, young people still leaving LI, a lack of any affordable housing plan and the continued aging of our population," the CCAF board said in the invitation. "These are all big challenges that continue to persist, with no solid solutions in sight locally or nationally.  Where is the leadership that can put us on a better path forward?"

The board is inviting residents of all ages and hopes to see FHS students, , homeowners and seniors in attendance. Residents are encouraged to bring questions, ideas and some solutions for some of these pressing issues. From this meeting the board will draft correspondence to elected officials requesting their input and action.   

CCAF is a non-profit, non-partisan neighborhood civic organization dedicated to representing the ordinary citizens and homeowners of Farmingdale who wish to maintain and enhance the quality of life in their community.
