Neighbors questioned a proposal to buy a 2.5-acre parcel outside Sag Harbor on which to build housing, but following that public hearing last Thursday the East Hampton Town Board unanimously approved the $890,000 purchase.
For the first eight months of 2019, revenues for the Peconic Bay Region Community Preservation Fund are down by nearly 21 percent from the same period last year.
East Hampton Town police charged a 54-year-old man with felony assault Friday night after he reportedly shoved his 74-year-old uncle to the ground, causing a cut on the back of his head.
Teen Arts Council
Applications for Guild Hall’s Teen Arts Council are being accepted through Oct. 11. The council is open to teens ages 14 and up who are interested in the arts.
The Teen Arts Council, founded in 2017, is “a collective of young creatives representing and celebrating a wide range of experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives,” Guild Hall said in its announcement. Members “work within the institution to curate public programming, advance their own creativity, and progress Guild Hall’s outreach and relationship to our local teen community.”
