A Message from the Lake Grove Mayor

Dear Friends and Neighbors,

With winter on its way out, we are getting prepared for our spring clean-ups and the beautification of our village.

I want to give thanks to our Department of Public Works for their efforts in keeping us all safe during the winter with the preparation and maintenance on our roadways, keeping them free of ice and snow. They will also be preparing soon for the removal of sand and debris from our sidewalks and roads. Please help them in their efforts by removing cars and any athletic equipment from public roadways while they are completing these tasks.

As a reminder, please check your recycling calendar for leaf bag distribution dates and other valuable information regarding recycling and holiday scheduling.

Have you noticed those savvy entrepreneurs we have been talking about coming into our village with the opening of Wegmans? Businesses such as Bagelati, Hummus Fit and Pooch’s Bed & Barkfest saw the opportunity to be part of our business district and are now prospering from their decisions to come to Lake Grove. Let’s help all our local businesses reap the benefits of being part of our community, including those that have provided us with excellent service throughout many years, such as Lake Grove Deli, Village Idiot, Uncle Joe’s, LaGrova, Redefine, and others. Patronizing local businesses keeps them vibrant as they remain assets to our community. We are fortunate to have most of everything we require at our fingertips within our village or just outside.

Lake Grove is such an amazing place to live and raise our families thanks to its proximity to everything, including every kind of transportation, such as air, rail, and highway commuting. We are also fortunate to have close access to some of the best medical facilities in the nation. Stony Brook Medicine at Smith Haven Mall continues to grow as they complete additional phases of construction and provide a multitude of services at that location.

I hope you all feel the same about our village as I do and appreciate how very fortunate we are.

As always, thank you for your continued support.

Very truly yours,

Robert J. Scottaline, Mayor
