You Tell Us: Big Ideas for Making Commack Better

Commack is a place filled with struggle. A tussle between the school district and locals over the historic Marion Carll Farm has put the future of this landmark in limbo. Community members already lamenting the lack of a real downtown are saddened that the area's business district is dotted with vacancies, including one eyed by Hess for a takeover. And a school district known for excellence is among many in the region trying to rein in bullying.
