• EAB to host program on village water system (gcnews.com) — Garden City residents can get detailed answers about their drinking water and sewer systems at a village program on Wednesday, October 7 at the Garden City Senior Center. The superintendent of Water & Sewer Services will explain where village water comes from, how it's treated, and ongoing plans to replace aging infrastructure, including potential lead service lines, with time for residents' questions.
• Demanding week sees Trojans Boys Soccer go 2-2 (gcnews.com) — Garden City's boys varsity soccer team just wrapped a grueling four-game stretch, going 2–2 but remaining undefeated in conference play at 8–0. Local players delivered dramatic late goals, bounced back from an 8–0 road loss in New Jersey, and closed with a confident shutout win, keeping momentum strong heading into the final four regular-season games.
• Long Island hospitals took $4.8 billion in property value off tax rolls, increasing taxpayer burden (newsday.com) — A major NYU Langone outpatient center in Garden City, built in the former Sears on Franklin Avenue, is now fully tax-exempt, shifting roughly $784,000 a year in county, town, village, and school taxes onto other property owners. The article explains how this and similar nonprofit hospital expansions across Long Island are removing billions in property value from tax rolls and prompting debate over whether hospitals should contribute more.
