Today, we start our latest installment of Town Focus -- this time in Wyandanch, a centrally located community in the Town of Babylon that’s involved in a major revitalization project.
Erin Geismar will start the week at Wyandanch Memorial High School, where she will sit in on a meeting of community organizations and meet with Guidance Counselor Jamie Ward to find out what Wyandanch’s students are up to.
Coming up this week, Geismar will focus on Wyandanch’s history and how it has evolved, talk to some of the key players invested in the community’s progress and sit in on a business forum aimed at helping budding entrepreneurs get started locally.
You can follow Geismar on Twitter and send suggestions via email or the comment section below.
