Welcome to Northport Patch

Thank you for visiting Northport Patch. We're glad you're here.  

Northport Patch will be an invaluable news and information source for the entire area. We'll be here seven days a week to tell you what's going on. If you want to know what's happening at your child's school, or what to do this weekend, we're the place for you.

Here's what you'll see on the site:

LISTINGS
Planning an important shopping excursion? This is where you'll find everything to know about the businesses that are right in your backyard. We'll give you their addresses, phone numbers, hours of operation and even photos and maps to show you how to get there.

EVENTS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS
From board meetings to charity car washes, this is where you'll find out what's going on and you can upload your event right to the website. We also want to know the important things that are going on in your life. Having a baby? Getting married? Got a promotion? Won an award or honor? Place it in our announcement section.

NEWS
We want to cover everything that's important to you and our news section is divided into several categories. We'll keep you abreast of what's going on in both town and village government and let you know how county and state news affects the Northport. We'll follow both the Northport-East Northport and Elwood school districts and keep you informed about the decisions that are being made that will impact your tax bill and your child's education. And if you're a die-hard fan for local sports teams, we'll let you know the score. We'll stay in touch with police and fire officials and report on crime or fires in the area.  We'll be on top of the business community with profiles and news that affects the local economy. We'll hear from arts organizations and let you know about performances in the area. We'll get opinions from local leaders or anyone with a good point to make. And if you have something you want to sound off about, let us know. Finally, we'll shine a spotlight on volunteers in the area.  You'll see profiles of their extraordinary work and we want to hear from you about your efforts to make Northport even better. And we'll connect those who need volunteers with those who have extra time.

This site belongs to you as much as it does to us. We want your comments, opinions, announcements and ideas. If you think there's something that we should cover, let us know.
