Greenport Village looks to Southold Town Board for help funding sewer upgrade
With critical upgrades to Greenport Village’s sewer system planned, officials are turning to the Town of Southold for help.
The proposed $1.5 million project would upgrade the central pump station on Third Street. Village administrator Paul Pallas said the primary goal is to increase capacity by enlarging pump and pipe sizes and expanding wet-wells and generator size.
“Our pump station is almost at its maximum,” Mayor George Hubbard Jr. explained during a Town Board work session Tuesday. “We have room at the treatment plant but we’re coming up short being able to move everything from the middle of the village up there.”
Town officials, civic leaders sound the alarm on affordable housing
The lack of affordable and workforce housing in Southold Town, for years a critical issue facing local officials, has grown far worse since the real estate boom of the past year.
That was the unmistakable message at Wednesday night’s affordable housing discussion on Zoom sponsored by North Fork civic associations. More than 60 people listened in, spoke or passed along electronic questions to the main speakers.
“The issue of affordable housing impacts the entire community,” said Pat Lutsky, co-chair of the town’s Affordable Housing Commission, who participated in the panel discussion.
