The Buzz About the Links

Development of the Links property it a hot topic in the Mastic-Shirley community these days. Most people are leary of the prospect of the original plan- single family homes- due to the impact it would have on the school district. Others feel that a sewage-treatment plant would benefit the community. Still others want to see the property left undeveloped. Whatever the plan, residents of the Tri-hamlet community should be sure to weigh in at the various civic meetings or Brookhaven Town Hall zoning/planning meetings. The most recent proposal seem to be geared toward planned retirement community with some land donated for recreational usage and and a small sewage treatment plant. Included in the latest plan is commercial development along Wiliam Floyd Parkway. The proposed commercial development could be a restaurant and a bookstore, both of which could be positive attractions for the Mastic-Shirley communities. Keep an eye out for the next community meeting with Holiday Organization.
