Mastic Beach can become a village. This will mean better, local control over the place where we live: making this an even-nicer place to live.
To become a village, there are several steps, including a census and a petition. More details can be found on Wikipedia:

A "village" in New York state is more-or-less the equivalent of a "town" in England--and in many other states. Mastic Beach is definitely Village-sized, with Village-sized challenges, huge opportunites (see Neighborhood Road and the improvements made in the past year alone), and a long, magnificent waterfront.
If you want to express your opinion during the incorporation process, you must be a registered voter in Mastic Beach. If you have forgotten to register, do it now! Be ready!
I believe this is the right thing to do. I will add links to information about the Village incorporation work as it arrives.

The incorporation of Mastic Beach is the answer to taking charge of our quality of life. People should join the Mastic Beach Village Exploratory Committee and become part of the new history of this community. Don't leave your future in the hands of Brookhaven Town or Suffolk County or one of the fifty fighting civic organizations. Its time for the people of this community to revolt and take charge of their own destiny. Let's make this waterfront community what it SHOULD be!
