6-20-13 –Guest Speakers:
Steve Bellone Suffolk County Executive.
Steve introduced the Connect Long Island Project which is a Transit Oriented Development. It connects hubs together –such as
Stony Brook and Farmingdale universities with Suffolk Colleges , with Brookhaven National Lab and Cold Spring Harbor Lab
with Hamptons Business District and more. Young people want more connections and we must try to entice our future
generation to stay on Long Island. This will be good for all of Long Island. It looked like a great program. For more
information please contact Steve Bellone.
