The East Hampton Town Board voted last Thursday to increase incentives for property owners to replace conventional septic systems with new, low-nitrogen systems approved by the Suffolk County Health Department.

Frank Cilione, an owner of 44 Three Mile Harbor Road, the site of several former nightclubs and at present the East Hampton branch of the Spur co-working space, wants to demolish the building and replace it with a 21,000-square-foot structure with a retail store, office space, and work force housing.

As it was expected to do, the East Hampton Town Board awarded grant funding for four water quality improvement projects last Thursday, following a recommendation made last month by the Water Quality Technical Advisory Committee.
