With the Montauk Friends of Erin's St. Patrick's Day parade on Sunday, the season officially begins in East Hampton Town's easternmost hamlet. 

East Hampton Town and New York State would like comments from residents 60 years of age and older for a comprehensive survey of older adults, the director of the town’s Human Services Department said on Tuesday.

Volunteers are needed to help pick up trash from road sides in downtown Montauk on Friday morning.

The New York Housing Compact, the governor's plan to address a housing shortage by building 800,000 new residences over the next decade, is a heavy-handed approach that would be wholly incompatible with East Hampton Town, according to the town planning director. Another planner described it to the town board as an “all sticks and no carrots” approach to solving the housing crisis.
