From The Mayor's Office
The Village Board of Trustees and I extend to residents of the Village a Happy Chanukah and a happy and healthy holiday season. PUBLIC MEETING - KEYSPAN CLEAN UP - DECEMBER 13, 2007 Keyspan and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation will be conducting a follow up public presentation to the session that they conducted last Spring on the subject of remediation and clean up of the former natural gas production plant south of Second Street between Franklin and Hilton Avenues. The public meeting will be held at Hofstra University on December 13th at 7:00 p.m. at the Sondra and David S. Mack Student Center, Building 31 (north side of Campus) and it will focus on how they propose to remove the residual coal tar from the soil on this site as well as the schedule for the work. The Village Administrator and Director of Public Works continue to interface with representatives of these agencies to assure that steps are in place to mitigate and avoid inconvenience and disturbance to the residents of Garden City. Both will be attending the public meeting. BOARD MEETING The next regularly scheduled Village Board of Trustees meeting is on Thursday, December 20, 2007 at 8:00 p.m. VILLAGE'S WEB SITE I encourage residents to periodically utilize the Village's website for information regarding the Village's operations, as well as items of seasonal and special interest. The address is www.gardencityny.net. Also please be aware that I have a Village e-mail address and would be delighted to hear from Village residents about their concerns - it is as follows: MayorPBee@gardencityny.net SHOP IN GARDEN CITY FIRST Residents in the Village of Garden City are very fortunate in having a vital business community comprised of merchants who are committed to serve us from their shops along Franklin Avenue, Seventh Street and New Hyde Park Road. I urge each of you to continue to patronize these local businesses during the holiday and throughout the year. Our business community wants to know how they are doing, so take a minute the next time you are shopping and let them know what you think about the quality of their products, attention to customer service and the new "Merchant Card" program of our local Chamber of Commerce. QUALITY, SELECTION AND OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE SHOP GARDEN CITY FIRST! S.T.O.P. PROGRAM The Town of Hempstead Sanitation Department will conduct the last of its monthly S.T.O.P. (Stop Throwing Out Pollutants) program on Sunday, December 15, 2007. Next Sunday's program will be held at Eisenhower Park - Field #3 located at Hempstead Turnpike and Merrick Avenue in East Meadow. The hours of operation will be 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Under the S.T.O.P. program, residents are able to take polluting materials to the facility and have them disposed of by a registered professional disposal company, free of charge.
