- Coordinated the purchase and beautification of Arrowhead Park at Church Street and Pond Road.
- Collaborated closely with the Town of Brookhaven Planning Department and Tritec to craft the area around the Ronkonkoma railroad station.
- Created the Portion Road Corridor Land Use Plan using community input to revitalize our downtown at both Hawkins Avenue and Morris Avenue to make our town pedestrian friendly, increase local business, preserve historic structures, and establish architectural design guidelines.
- Helped organize Neighborhood Watches.
- Worked to have the lake designated as a New York State Inland Waterway, worked with local municipalities to create a Lake Ronkonkoma Watershed Intermunicipal Organization, created a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, the Ronkonkoma Lake Foundation, to apply for grant funds and receive donations for lakefront management and for educational and environmental programs.
