Middle Island Civic Association Meeting Notice
Longwood Public Library, 800 MCR, MI, NY
THURSDAY, October 15th, 2026 at 7:00 PM
Meet the Candidates Night in Partnership with the Greater Gordon Heights Civic Association – Part Two: Candidates for NYS Senate District 1, NYS Assembly Districts 2 & 3, SC Clerk, and the NY First US Congressional District were invited. This will NOT be a debate. We will use our “Friendly Forum” format begun more than a decade ago by MICA’s late past president Tom Talbot. Each candidate will have a certain number of minutes –tbd, usually about ten minutes — to speak and perhaps answer a few questions from members in good standing. All attendees are expected to behave respectfully.
At some time in the near future, we hope that Representatives from Breslin Realty will formally present their plans for “The Meadows at Artist Lake,” a mixed-use development at the long-blighted former Kmart parcel on the north-side of Middle Country Road across from Artist Lake. Unfortunately they had to cancel their July presentation at the last minute.
Because the NYS Pine Barrens Commission has determined this to be a Development of Regional Significance, we will probably schedule a Special Meeting in the larger Community Room at Longwood Public Library for this important discussion. The public is welcome to learn, question, suggest and comment, respectfully, of course. Please read the history of development ideas for this location at http://s453969799.onlinehome.us/mica/?page_id=4841
Please consider bringing a monetary or food-specific donation for Blessings in a Backpack: chunk tuna fish in water, Belvita breakfast biscuits, Progresso soup, Hormel chili, canned ravioli, Quaker oatmeal packets, small canned fruit, small pretzel bags. Thanks!
