• America's best value public universities in 2026 (localnews8.com) — Farmingdale residents can take pride that Farmingdale State College ranks 13th on a new national list of best-value public universities, based on cost, graduation rates and alumni earnings. The analysis, using recent federal data, compares more than 500 public institutions and highlights schools that keep expenses below the national median while delivering strong long-term outcomes for graduates.
• Oyster Bay spent nearly $3M battling fair housing lawsuits (newsday.com) — Farmingdale is mentioned alongside Garden City and Nassau County as Long Island communities that have revised housing policies amid fair housing lawsuits and shifting federal enforcement. The story centers on Oyster Bay spending nearly $3 million over a decade defending bias claims tied to residency preferences in senior and first-time homebuyer programs, which were partially rolled back in recent settlements and criticized by civil rights advocates.
