- Long Island residents tracking openings and local development
- Worth noticing
- The site explicitly warns that a new-company filing is not evidence the doors will open; hearing items are applications, not approvals.
Field notes
Each listing is drawn from a New York State company registration dated within the past week, then hand-reviewed and grouped by filing name; the page cautions that a filing is not proof a business will open, and a name can land in the wrong category. The public-agenda section currently covers Brookhaven zoning and planning hearings, with the site saying Islip, Smithtown, and Huntington are next.
