Peconic Estuary Partnership seeks CPF money from towns
Should Southold Town allocate a portion of its Community Preservation Fund revenues to help the Peconic Estuary Partnership?
The organization, which works to protect the waterways and wetlands surrounding Peconic Bay, has asked all five towns on the East End to chip in, with the goal of matching its federal allocation of $700,000 over three years.
“We’re looking to towns to assist us with funds that can be used operationally for the program as well as for the ongoing water quality work and habitat work that we do around the Peconics,” PEP executive director Joyce Novak explained to the Town Board during a work session Tuesday.
