Town Of Babylon And Encon Industries Unveil New

Garbage Truck Fleet

Introduction Of 34 New Trucks To Yield Environmental, Safety, And Monetary Benefits

The Town of Babylon and Encon Industries recently unveiled 34 stateof-the-art garbage trucks that will serve the Town and provide tremendous environmental and safety benefits. This new fleet was built by Encon Industries specifically for the Town

of Babylon, with each truck depicting a scene of the Town’s beauty. At the unveiling press conference, Town of Babylon elected officials and Encon Industries executives eagerly discussed the benefits residents will experience from the new

trucks.

“With the fleet manufactured and delivered ahead of schedule, these beautiful new trucks are ready to dutifully serve our community,” said Town of Babylon Supervisor Rich Schaffer. “They will efficiently

clean our streets, all while showcasing the lovely landscapes of the Town of Babylon and saving residents money.”

The Town of Babylon’s new contract with Encon Industries will keep the Town’s garbage taxes among the lowest on Long

Island. Encon Industries’ first 10-year-old contract saved residents over $124 million compared to the Town’s previous carter. This resulted in the Town’s per household rate being cut almost in half during this period.

“The unveiling of this

new fleet celebrates our continued tradition of savings with Encon Industries,” said Supervisor Schaffer. “We encourage residents to be on the lookout for these new trucks as they enhance our community and keep Babylon clean.”

BENEFITS OF THE NEW GARBAGE TRUCK FLEET - Encon Industries President Anthony Core explains the environmental and safety benefits of the new garbage truck fleet to Town of Babylon Supervisor Rich Schaffer, Town of Babylon Councilman DuWayne Gregory and Town of Babylon Councilman Tony Martinez

Insurance Tips And Information

Article provided by Ken Marcus and Mitchell Barber

Do I need Flood insurance?

You’re not going to be visiting neighborhoods around West Point any time soon. Nor will you see a bucolic Montpelier, Vermont this summer. Both of these communities…. and many more….. have witnessed unprecedented flooding over the last few weeks. They are not in flood zones nor are they low lying areas. And, incidentally, Homeowner insurance will not pay for losses.

You may not live in a flood zone. This does not mean you can’t be flooded or that you are adequately insured. One-in-five floods do not happen in a flood zone. The flooding up north is not such an anomaly as you might think. Remember, NYC witnessed such a flood in the spring of 2022. Basement apartments flooded. People even drowned. Suffolk had such flooding on August 13, 2014.

Long Island’s population has doubled since a category 3 hurricane hit in 1938. The results then were

catastrophic. What are you chances of being unscathed when the next hurricane hits? Are you living on what was then flooded land? Are your sewers capable of flushing a 4” or 8” rain?

As unusual weather events become the norm, should you research whether or not you might need or want Flood Insurance? What does it protect you against?

How expensive is it? Who sells it? Call and ask your insurance agent.

Moriches Field Brewing Company received $18,750 to revitalize an empty downtown space. (Cheers

to that.)

Revitalization grants are just one of the ways we help businesses on Long Island and in the Rockaways. For Moriches Field Brewing Company, a grant from our economic development program was a perfect fit to help them renovate a previously vacant property. A discount through our Vacant Space Revival Program saved them more than $4,000 on their electric bills, and rebates for upgrading to LED lighting are keeping them saving month after month.

Helping revitalize our Island, one business at a time, is something we’re proud to be part of and something definitely worth celebrating.
