Farmingville to change name to Oak Hillsfrom news 12
Play the video (12/04/06) HOLTSVILLE - Farmingville is a major battleground for illegal immigration and some residents say it's ruining their image.
On Monday, a meeting was held to decide if changing the community’s name would help its reputation. Residents met at the Chippewa Elementary School in Holtsville to discuss changing Farmingville's name to Oak Hills.
Some pushing for the change live in the western section of Farmingville, which has been a center point for day laborer controversy. While some say the problem is hurting their property value, others argue illegal immigration can't be fixed on a local level.
Twenty percent of eligible voters must support the name change before it can be submitted to the Brookhaven Town Board for review.

It will probably work for a few years, then it will be "Oak Hills? Isn't that where the immigrant day labor problems are?"...

I wish someone would not only change the name of my town, but also my street!
