Wading River Civic Association
Mission Statement
The Wading River Civic Association informs and empowers the residents of Wading River and brings together our diverse concerns and ideas as one voice.
As a group, we strive to achieve maintaining the rural character of the community, preserving open space, creating safer roads and pedestrian byways. We also continue to watch over what’s happening at Brookhaven National Lab and the Shoreham/ Wading River LIPA facility. We continue to be a strong voice in various levels of government.
We acknowledge that there are various concerns and ideas in a hamlet divided between two towns and two school districts and strive to make our membership whole. Every added member makes us stronger, both in numbers, and in the resources each new person brings to our meetings.
Recent Achievements
Maintain an ongoing dialog with Brookhaven and Riverhead Town Governments by attending town board meetings and work sessions.
Bring public and private officials to monthly meetings as guest speakers, including such as Congressman Tim Bishop, New York State Senator Ken LaValle, Suffolk County Representative Michael Carrociolo, Riverhead council members Rose Sanders, Barbara Blass and George Bartunek, Brookhaven Councilman Kevin McCarrick, LIPA officials, Little Flower Children’s Services representatives, and Pine Barrens Society executive director, Richard Amper.
Support and participate in planning and smart growth initiatives, such as updating the Riverhead Master Plan and the recently completed Shoreham Hamlet Study.
Work as a member of the “Last Chance Riverhead Coalition”, ABCO (Association of Brookhaven Civic Organizations) and the Anti-Broadwater Coalition.
Represent the community on the following: SEEDS (Sustainable East End Development Strategies), Long Island Waterborne Transportation Plan, Calverton Restoration Advisory Board, and the Brookhaven Lab Citizens Advisory Board.
Sponsor Duck Pond Day and the Holiday tree lighting around Twin Ponds, as well as insuring that they receive the attention they require fron the town.
