Your Voice is Vital for the Future of Islip – Join the Conversation Today

As residents of the Town of Islip, we have an incredible opportunity to shape the community we call home. The Town of Islip is crafting a new Comprehensive Plan, a blueprint that will guide development, land use, environmental stewardship, and infrastructure for the next 20 years. To ensure it reflects our shared vision, we need your input.

Why should you get involved? Overdevelopment is a pressing issue for communities across Long Island, and Islip is no exception. Rapid, unchecked growth risks the very aspects that make our town special: open green spaces, safe neighborhoods, and a balanced pace of life. We must advocate for smart, sustainable growth to preserve these qualities and support our schools, roads, and natural resources.

The stakes are high. With more developments underway, this plan could either set us on a path toward balanced growth or usher in increased congestion, fewer green spaces, and strains on local resources. It’s crucial that this plan not only protects Islip’s natural beauty but also promotes sustainable, affordable housing that serves all residents.

We have a say in this process. The survey gives each of us the chance to voice our concerns, priorities, and hopes for our community. Make sure your vision is heard and counted. Let’s help Islip grow thoughtfully, with future generations in mind.

Take a moment to participate in the Islip Comprehensive Plan Survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/XJN3W6J and help safeguard our community’s unique character and vitality. Your input is essential—let’s shape Islip’s future together.

Hello - If anyone is interested, there will be another Town Hall Meeting on the 13th about the proposed Taco Bell on Vets Hwy in Bohemia.

Help shape the future of Islip! Your voice is essential in protecting our community from overdevelopment and preserving our environment. The Town of Islip is creating a 20-year Comprehensive Plan covering key areas like housing, land use, and sustainability.
Fill out this survey to support single-family affordable housing and stop overdevelopment in residential areas. Together, we can guide Islip Town Board toward a balanced, vibrant future that respects our neighborhoods and natural resources.

Protecting against overdevelopment and promoting smart growth can bring multiple benefits to a community:
Environmental Preservation: Overdevelopment leads to loss of green spaces, which can harm local ecosystems and reduce biodiversity. Smart growth conserves natural resources, protects habitats, and minimizes pollution.
Reduced Traffic and Pollution: Concentrated overdevelopment can strain road networks and increase emissions. Thoughtful planning supports balanced transportation, walkable neighborhoods, and better air quality.
Enhanced Quality of Life: Unchecked development can reduce community character and overcrowd schools and amenities. Smart growth encourages well-planned infrastructure and services that support residents’ well-being.
Housing Affordability and Stability: By promoting single-family affordable housing, communities prevent sudden market changes from overbuilding and preserve neighborhoods.
Economic Resilience: Smart growth attracts diverse businesses and supports long-term economic stability by balancing development with local needs.
These reasons help ensure sustainable, livable, and resilient communities for current and future residents.
