The sole bid that the Army Corps of Engineers received to dredge the Montauk Inlet as part of the long-awaited Lake Montauk Harbor navigation improvement project was well over the anticipated price and left the federal government $1.1 million short. East Hampton Town opted this week to fill the funding gap with money received through its host-community agreement with South Fork Wind.

Thursday evening at 6 the East Hampton Town Fire Chiefs Association will hold a memorial service at the Hook Mill green to mark the day and the many losses that resulted.

The League of Women Voters of the Hamptons, Shelter Island, and the North Fork will host a forum on school boards and how to get involved next Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at LTV Studios in Wainscott.
