Here are the top three stories in Sachem today:

  1. Check out five new homes for sale in the Town of Brookhaven. These homes are the freshest to hit the market and range in price and location. You can always find what's going on in the local market in the Patch Real Estate Section. (Sachem Patch)
  2. $1B Ronkonkoma hub renamed Station Yards. The project, which will feature a mix of housing, retail, and office space, has been reimagined by East Setauket developer Tritec Real Estate in response to the lifestyles and work habits of people post-coronavirus, the outlet reported. The goal is to be more spacious and for both residents and shoppers, with a focus on local brands rather than national chain stores. (Sachem Patch)
  3. NY mobile sports betting brings in $909M revenue in first year. New York has collected over $709.2 million in taxes from bets, which is the highest in the nation. "In just one year, New York has become a national leader in providing responsible entertainment for millions while bringing in record-shattering revenue for education, youth sports, and problem gambling prevention, "NY Governer Kathy Hochul said. "I look forward to another year of delivering top-tier mobile sports wagering experiences that generate revenue to enrich the lives of New Yorkers across the state."(Patch)
