Welcome To Center Moriches-Eastport Patch!

CENTER MORICHES-EASTPORT, NY — The day the Center Moriches and Eastport communities have been waiting for has finally arrived — a new Patch site, devoted entirely to the issues and stories that shape lives on local streets, has officially launched.

We are here to provide you with breaking news, heartfelt features about the men and women who make the communities home, insightful reporting on local politics, updates on new businesses, and a full update everything that's happening in your children's schools.

Eastport and Center Moriches are vibrant, special communities with scores of year-round residents living and working to provide the best lives and opportunities for their children and families. Parents are engaged in their kids' school activities, business owners deeply invested in the area's continued growth and future.

For years, these communities have been eager for a news outlet solely focused on the up-to-the minute news and events happening every day — a place where they can share vital information, moving stories of triumph and joy, and photos of the faces who create the canvas of their hometowns.

And now, that day has arrived.

What's also exciting about Patch is that residents can post news themselves — we are truly here to give residents and neighbors a voice, a place to share thoughts, announcements about local happenings, opinions, and beautiful photos from your windows and world.

If you'd like to post on Patch, read this to get started.

The best way for Patch to cover local news is with help from the community. You can send all news tips, videos, pictures, story ideas and thoughts to Lisa.Finn@patch.com.

Center Moriches-Eastport Patch sends out a daily newsletter each morning, but also sends out news alerts for important breaking news stories throughout the day. News alerts will be local to Center Moriches and Eastport with a mix of general Long Island news.
