Faithfully Serving the Hamlet of Yaphank
Since 1963
United We Stand ~ Divided We FAIL!
Dear Neighbors:
Never has it been more important to stay informed about the decisions being made in and around our community!
In order for this civic association to ensure ALL our residents concerns and voices are being heard, we need your help!
We all know that “In union there is strength”, hence the efforts of many will produce results that cannot be obtained by the individual. In order to work smartly and successfully, we must band together to take united action on each and every question impacting the Yaphank community.
As a result of past civic intervention,
- Brookhaven National Laboratory was designated as a Superfund Site resulting in the clean-up of radioactive waste sites.
- The Peconic River and the Carmans River received designation under NY State’s Wild Scenic and Recreational River Act.
- Baseball Heaven is operational instead of an asphalt plant.
- Cornfields are part of protected county farmland.
In addition, residents of Suffolk County and Brookhaven Town have acquired the open space parcels of Fox Lair, Camp Olympia and Warbler Woods, preventing the construction of hundreds of multifamily and cluster housing.
We only have to look west to the rampant development overtaking the Medford community to know that development pressures are here and ready to change the face of our quiet Hamlet! You live here because you love our way of life, please help protect that which you value!
Please JOIN!!!
Your membership dues can make the difference to help us preserve the quality of life in our historic Hamlet!
Our Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the Month in the Yaphank Fire House at 7:30PM .
Yours truly,
Yaphank Taxpayers & Civic Association Inc. Executive Board
