Celebrate Support

Looking back on 2024, the Noyac Civic Council has much to celebrate and be grateful for. In 2024, we celebrated our 70th year of advocacy for quality of life concerns for Noyac through social, educational and governmental interaction, and charitable endeavors. This advocacy could not have been possible without the dedicated backing of our officers, members and local government officials. We are grateful for the generous financial support we received in 2024 from our members, local merchants and restaurants, without which we could not sustain our advocacy and operations. We’d like to recognize local merchants and restaurants that generously donated ... by Staff Writer

And Ed Romaine has legislative support. Further, providing funding to do this was the passing of a referendum in the November election, amending the Suffolk County Water Quality Restoration Act and increasing the county sales tax by one-eighth of a penny to raise money to build sewers and install high-tech ... by Karl Grossman
