The Village of Farmingdale and Vision Long Island invited residents, business owners and other stakeholders to help shape the future of their community. The effort, Farmingdale's Future, is a public visioning to fuel Main Street improvements and to shape the hamlet's Master Plan, which will guide development over the next 30 years.

At the opening event, residents came to offer their hopes and horrors for the future of their community. They then prioritized these, and indicated their favorite and least favorite areas in Farmingdale. The most important issue appeared to be dealing with the problematic Secatogue housing complex while ensuring that residents are not displaced. Check out the full lists here.

A full day work session, including walking tours, and opportunities for community stakeholders to create their  own visions for the region occured on Februrary 11th. Check out these design sessions here.

VISION's design team, headed up by Alex Latham, ADLIII Architecture, will then take these community designs and bring them together into cohesive visions for Farmingdale. These visions were brought back to the community for their review on Wednesday, February 15th. Find out about the vision here.
