OpenGov, software powering payments, permitting, and licensing on the Town of East Hampton’s website, is now open for business.

The East Hampton Town Board seems inclined to extend a Covid-era outdoor dining pilot program, which expired at the end of December, for another three-plus years and possibly to make it permanent.

The East Hampton Town Board has decided it’s time to restore the historic Peach House, which lies about a peach’s throw from the board’s own meeting room. The renovation could begin this fall and be completed by May 2026, at which time it will house three town offices and a reception area.

With a vote on the Montauk School’s proposed $38 million renovation bond due in about 10 days, Joshua Odom, district superintendent and school principal, addressed community members last week in support of the project.
