The Long Island News: A Civic Map in Progress
A pre-launch guide to Long Island’s governments, public meetings, agendas, records, and public-comment rules.
Field notes
The guide frames Long Island civic coverage as an information-architecture problem: residents must navigate counties, towns, cities, school boards, and eventually villages and special districts. Its stated starting set includes two county legislatures, 12 towns, two cities, and seven school boards, while the homepage acknowledges that most of the region remains outside coverage. The project says each entry is checked against the relevant government website and records what has not been confirmed.
