Goodwill Store Next to TD Bank - Route 112 Medford

How will a Goodwill store help revitalize Route 112?

I would like to express my outrage at the new Goodwill store being opened on Route 112.

In the Patchogue-Medford area we have , , and already.

This will be the fourth thrift store in a small radius. Would this have been allowed to be opened on Main Street in Sayville? How will this help revitalize 112 and why wasn’t it brought to the community prior to renovation?

Not only that, but there is a vacant house for the last 11 years diagonally across from Hess and a vacant store front in front of Tremont Elementary school for two years.

I am extremely disappointed in the attention given to Route 112 Medford. I bought a home here three years ago based on the Patchogue revitalization, but Medford apparently is not a part of the revitalization whatsoever. Route 112 is very much blighted.

Other communities like Sayville or Stony Brook don’t let their communities fall into distress like this.
