Councilman Mark Cuthbertson was re-elected to a four-year term on the Huntington Town Board in 2009 and has served on the Huntington Town Board since January 1998. Cuthbertson has kept his pledge to put politics aside and be part of a bi-partisanship government that has marked the most significant turnaround in local government on Long Island. Throughout his term, Mark Cuthbertson has voted to reduce and stabilize taxes in Huntington by working with the other members of the Town Board, to place performance over partisanship. In recent years, he has focused on the area of economic development and job creation and has used his background in real estate law to attract several major projects in the Route 110 corridor including Canon USA and Rubie's Costumes. This effort was recognized by the Long Island Business News as the Best Public Private Partnership for 2008. In addition, Cuthbertson has sponsored sweeping environmental legislation to preserve hillside areas in the Town, to promote renewable energy, update code enforcement and to preserve open spaces.
