Brookhaven Town Hall to be Among New WiFi 'Hot Spots'

Brookhaven Town Hall is one of nine Town locations that were approved to get wireless Internet hot spots as part of a five-year contract to Cablevision approved at Tuesday's Town Board meeting.

"I am glad to partner with Cablevision to bring WiFi to our residents and add not only to the convenience of doing business at Town facilities, but also give our residents a more enjoyable experience when they visit the Town.”
