Our communities are a wonderful balance between functionality and beauty. The North Shore of Long Island and especially the Town of Huntington has some of America's most beautiful landscapes and waterfronts.
This area also functionally possesses villages, hamlets and shopping districts that are important parts of our lives. Seldom do we think about our local merchants, professionals and retailers, yet we should.
The fabric of communities would be quite different if these local businesses ceased and the store fronts were shuttered. Our strong property values are closely tied to the quality of life in our Town and the health of our local business communities is an important part of this robust vibrant lifestyle.

As the nation celebrates "National Small Business Week" this week, May 16-22, let us consider how and where we spend our money when we shop. The book, sandwich, dress or meal that you purchase from our local Town of Huntington businesses matters. It matters greatly to all of us. "It all starts here, Buy Locally."
