Where Should Hauppauge's Town Center, Village Green Be?

Locals lament lack of central community hub. Let us know where you would like to see one developed.

Hauppauge has a lot of great attributes including some of the region's best dining and a regional employment engine with its industrial park.

But for all it does have, many in Hauppauge have lamented the lack of a central area in the community. Unlike nearby Smithtown, Stony Brook and Port Jefferson, Hauppauge has no downtown. In fact, it even lacks a central village green where locals can gather.

To be fair, there are no plans on the table to create a community hub in Hauppauge, but that shouldn't stop its residents from imagining a place in town where, just maybe, one day a Hauppauge downtown or village green could emerge.
