His commitment to responsible growth includes fostering unity across the community and supporting initiatives that stimulate local business and infrastructure.

Supporting our Police, First Responders, and Veterans

Stephen Anastasia’s Huntington Town Council campaign promises robust support for police, first responders, and veterans. Centering on improving public safety, he will work to secure funding for modern equipment, advanced training, and technology that empower officers and EMTs to protect the community effectively. Recognizing the toll of emergency service work, he will expand access to peer support and professional counseling to bolster mental health and resilience. For veterans, he will establish a liaison office to streamline benefits access and host appreciation events. By collaborating with public safety unions and veteran organizations, he will build retention, recognition, and readiness across Huntington.

Affordable Housing that Works for Working Families

Stephen Anastasia’s campaign for Huntington Town Council prioritizes expanding affordable housing options for working families by forging public-private partnerships to develop mixed-income communities, leveraging underused municipal land for cost-effective housing projects, and advocating for zoning reforms that encourage accessory dwelling units. He will champion inclusionary zoning policies requiring a share of new developments to be set aside at below-market rates, while pursuing state and federal grants to subsidize construction costs. Stephen’s plan includes rental assistance programs, down payment support for first-time buyers, ensuring affordability and neighborhood revitalization. He is committed to collaboration with housing nonprofits to meet community needs.

Clean Water, Open Spaces and Coastal Preservation

Stephen Anastasia’s vision for clean water, open spaces, and protected coastlines drives every decision he will champion on Huntington Town Council. He will advocate expanding stormwater management programs, partnering with local experts to monitor runoff and safeguard drinking supplies. He will increase funding for the Environmental Open Space and Park Fund to acquire new preserves, upgrade trails, and restore wetlands. He will champion responsible waterfront development ordinances that buffer sensitive habitats and reduce erosion. By forging alliances with nonprofits, schools, and residents, he will build community-driven stewardship initiatives that both preserve our shoreline’s beauty and ensure clean water for generations.

Smart Infrastructure to Protect Huntington's Future

Stephen Anastasia will build upon Huntington's Smart Cities Initiative by advocating rapid deployment of high-speed broadband and fiber across residential and commercial zones. He’ll champion ‘Dig Once’ ordinances and streamline permitting for fiber installs to reduce costs and construction impacts. He’ll convene a municipal Smart Infrastructure Taskforce—uniting town planners, technology experts, and local community stakeholders—to develop innovative IoT-enabled solutions for traffic flow, energy management, and public safety. By leveraging secure strategic grants, inclusive public-private partnerships, and adaptive zoning codes, Stephen ensures Huntington harnesses robust next-generation connectivity and resilient infrastructure, safeguarding economic growth, digital equity, and environmental sustainability for future generations.
