Mastic Beach Village Proposal Passed

Mastic Beach Village proposal passed according to the Facebook page of Dan Panico!

Get ready Mastic Beach for a whole new page in history. We will all work together to make the neighborhood even better.

It was amazing how many people turned out for the Mastic Beach Village vote. We waited for over a half hour to cast our vote.

Change is certainly on the way...

What do you think of the results?

Mastic Beach Village Vote Brings Out Entire Neighborhood

It's a little after 9 pm and we just returned from the Mastic Beach village vote at the firehouse on Neighborhood Road.

I was pleased to see the number of concerned citizens voting about the possible village. Whether the votes were yes or no, certainly everyone in the neighborhood cares about the future of Mastic Beach.

The line went around the firehouse with demonstrators out on the street encouraging citizens to vote yes or no. The police indicated people could not get on line after 9 PM. Even with that in mind, the vote is sure to go on until at least 10 pm at this point.

While we waited to vote about the potential Incorporated Village of Mastic Beach, we crossed paths with many neighbors and friends. The children compared school schedules and I made a date to meet a friend at the gym once the kids are back.

I look forward to hearing the results of the Mastic Beach Village vote and working together to build an ever better neighborhood. Right now, News 12 is saying the vote is too close to call...

According to my unofficial poll, 29 percent are against the Village of Mastic Beach and 71 percent are for it...

Blue Claw Crab Festival in Mastic Beach and Mastic Beach Village Vote on August 31

We stopped by the annual Blue Claw Crab Festival at the marina in Mastic Beach.  Last night I forgot about the Festival with the hectic pace of back-to-school.  Riding by the beach and seeing all the signs, fencing and stands reminded us to pay a visit today!

Our waterfront marinas and beaches are beautiful.  It makes you sad to realize there is less than a week of summer vacation left with school back in swing on September 3...

But then there's still Labor Day weekend!  Enjoy the rest of summer in Mastic Beach and don't forget to vote yes or no to a possible Village of Mastic Beach on August 31 at the Mastic Beach firehouse on Neighborhood Road between noon and 9 pm.
