Chamber pitches $20,000 grant to brighten Farmingdale’s Main Street and market holiday season
Summary
Two Chamber of Commerce representatives proposed using $20,000 in grant funding to install rooftop lighting along Main Street to improve the corridor’s appearance and support a small‑business holiday/winter marketing plan; trustees indicated they are amenable to the idea.
Representatives of the Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce presented a proposal to use $20,000 in grant funding to place lights on top of Main Street buildings and coordinate a small‑business marketing plan for the holiday and winter months. The board signaled support for the concept during the work session on June 16, 2025.
The plan as described in the minutes is intended to brighten Main Street and provide coordinated marketing support to merchants during the winter season. The minutes record the $20,000 figure and that the mayor and trustees are "amenable to this effort," but do not include names of the Chamber presenters or a timetable for installation. Staff follow‑up to develop implementation details and any required permits or electrical work was not recorded in the minutes.
