“The only way to save what’s left of our culture is to offer as much affordable housing to our local families as we possibly can,” Prudence Carabine said at a June 7 East Hampton Town Planning Board hearing on the town’s proposed affordable housing development at 395 Pantigo Road.

The East Hampton Town Board voted on June 6 to approve six of its water quality technical advisory committee’s seven recommendations to fund projects, from a motel in Montauk to Clinton Academy, that emerged from the committee’s first request for applications in 2023.

At a special meeting on Monday, the East Hampton Town Trustees gave themselves an Aug. 15 deadline to complete an inventory of docks and other structures in waterways under their jurisdiction.
