Supposedly the "village idiots" voted it down. What a bunch of morons. It would be a great addition to the village.

^^ Tritech is the builder that was involved in the design of the proposed downtown. They were going to be the construction manager on the project.

As opposed to abandoned store fronts? Not very smart.

I dont think they vetoed it. They just collected bids like 3 months ago for the work.

I moved from South Eastern CT, to Patchogue, three years ago. I love it here. We're an early - mid 30's couple. There are a few bars in the downtown area and lots of local live music within a short drive or walk. The Village has a beach club w/ a pool you can join and they are building a new YMCA. Summer offers a plethora of entertainment options too. (Alive after Five, Speed Boat Races, concerts, etc)

I live within a few blocks of Main St, while there are some sketchy areas; I've never felt unsafe walking my dog alone.

If you are planning to have kids, you might want to re-think Patchogue because the schools have a horrible reputation. (we have no kids) In the market we are in now, I'd also re-think a condo. In a declining market, condos and co-ops aren't usually easy to re-sell. Plus, condo fees are REDICULOUS out here!!! (have you looked into fees yet?) $500 in monthly condo fees could = the same monthly payment as a HOUSE for about $100,000 more.

Good luck.

It seems like it's still a "go" just on a smaller scale. *fingers crossed*
