Town encourages restaurants to offer outdoor dining

Town awarded grant for pickleball courts

New pickleball courts will be coming soon to Plainview-Old Bethpage Community Park, the Town of Oyster Bay announced this week. Due to popular demand, the Town is constructing two new pickleball courts in the park with the assistance of $75,000 in New York State grant funds secured by Assemblyman Blumencranz. “Pickleball is a fun sport for all ages that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong. It’s become incredibly popular in our Town, with seniors and families playing daily at our existing courts,” said Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino. “Due to this popular demand, I’m proud to announce that the Town of Oyster Bay is building new pickleball courts for all residents to enjoy.” Pickleball is played with a wooden paddle and lightweight plastic ball and can include two, three, or four players.

Members of the Oyster Bay Town Board announced that the town will waive fees for restaurants that want to offer outdoor dining during 2024. The Town of Oyster Bay has announced that it will waive all fees to encourage restaurants to offer outdoor dining opportunities throughout 2024. Prior to the global pandemic, outdoor dining was limited and required establishments to pay fees and obtain certain approvals from the Department of Planning and Development. That is once again not necessary for 2024. Town Supervisor Joseph

Saladino said, “We’ve cut red tape and eliminated fees to encourage restaurants to offer outdoor dining throughout 2024. Street-side dining is a great way for restaurants to bring the food and ambiance closer to potential customers walking by, which can inspire more spur-of-the-moment walk-ins and support our downtown businesses.” “Outdoor dining has become a preferred choice for many

residents seeking a unique and refreshing experience in their own downtown. We’re happy to keep this trend going while supporting local businesses that invested in outside tents, heaters and covers over the past few years so that customers can enjoy the fresh air and the outdoors while dining locally,” added Town Clerk Richard LaMarca.

The event honored Allie McCormick of Jericho among four other Girl Scout champions who are making an impact in their community. This event brought together generations of Girl Scouts and their supporters to celebrate the impact the organization has had over the last 112 years. All proceeds from the event are going toward ensuring all girls have the opportunity to fully experience Girl Scouts and continuing the legacy of building girls of courage, confidence, and character. “112 years ago, Juliette Gordon Low started building her legacy for the girls of America when she started the first Girl Scout troop in Savannah, Georgia. It has since developed into a leadership experience that builds courage, confidence, and character, and blazes trails and redefines what’s possible for girls everywhere," said Rande See page 11
