Welcome to the Village of Old Field website. 

I am very proud of what my fellow Board of Trustees and I have been able to accomplish.  We have approved numerous residents' building permit applications in a timely and efficient manner, something I promised that I would attempt to do if elected to office.  I believe this is due in part to a Board of Trustees which has worked very hard to meet the expectations of residents, and to a reinvigorated village hall staff that responds to resident issues and concerns diligently and with promptness.  The Board of Trustees has also passed two very important local laws, one providing for the defense and indemnification of village officials, appointees and employees, and another eliminating the archaic requirement that appointed village officials be residents of Old Field. 

The Board of Trustees and I have consolidated all village government into one building, the lighthouse, and at the same time we have been able to make sorely needed capital improvements to the lighthouse to enable it to be used by village hall staff and enjoyed by village residents.  We are also presently seeking bids from contractors to repave the two major roads in the village, Old Field Road and Mt. Grey Road.

I am also incredibly proud to see that we have a rejuvenated Ways & Means Committee, thanks in large part to co-chairpersons Liz Bernstein and Debbie Rosenberg, and a Welcoming Committee, thanks to Nancy Portnoy.

Residents continue to "step up to the plate" and volunteer their skills and services (including Gene O'Brien, who keeps our website up-to-date and informative), and more and more neighbors are coming forward and offering their assistance.

I would like to personally thank those residents of the village who have assisted the Board of Trustees and me, and I welcome hearing from anyone and everyone on how we can make our village even more desirable than it presently is.

Very truly yours,

Michael Levine
Mayor
