A Message From The Mayor
The year of 2008 will be the third year
that I have had the privilege to serve has your Mayor. I am sure
you would agree that there has been a significant change in the way
we all see our Village today compared to a few years ago. The most
obvious change is the unity that all of us show and share at all
of our events. Neighbors meeting each other, in some cases for the
first time at our events. Talking with each other and building a
long lasting relationship. This is good for our children and our
community as a whole.

As we enter into the year 2008 without a tax increase for the third year in a
row. I can assure you that this trend will
continue. All of us will also continue
to receive $100.00 off from our garbage
tax for the third year in a row. This was
made possible by negotiating a new three
year contract with our carters. The previous contract
gave the carters a cost of living increase
(coli), the new contract doesn't. This
savings was passed onto the tax payers.
Our beautification
program is on schedule
for 2008. I am sure you have noticed the
new enhancements at Sycamore & Veterans Highway, Ehradtway & Old Nichols Rd and Ursula Court & Old Nichols Rd and lets not forget the Village Hall property. I would like to
thank the Volunteers of Islandia for working
with the Islandia Beautification Society
on those projects. This year we will also
start the Old Nichols Rd improvements and
the Veterans Memorial Triangle project.
An example of our commercial
beautification requirements can be seen
at the new 7-11 on Veterans Highway & Blydenburgh Rd. The beautification ideas are designed to enhance the community
and to help make commercial property more
desirable looking.
We will also complete
some residential road improvements along
with curbs and sidewalks where needed.
We have a lot of accomplishments in the
past three years and a lot more to come.
Please refer to my letter dated March 20,
2007 for more information. I am very excited
about this year and I am sure you will be more than
satisfied. Let me just remind you of my
e-mail address if you want to communicate
via the internet, adorman@newvillageofislandia.com,
or you can call the Village Hall at 348-1133.
Again
let me thank everyone for this
great opportunity you have given me
to serve as your Mayor for the past three years.
Remember, this is only the beginning.
Sincerely Yours,
Allan M. Dorman, Mayor |
