A portion of Marcy Avenue will be renamed for the former Polish Hall manager.
The Riverhead Town Board announced Tuesday it will ceremoniously rename the portion of Marcy Avenue around Polish Hall in honor of late town resident Zbigniew “Ziggy” Wilinski.
Town Supervisor Yvette Aguiar announced the proposal to rename the street “Ziggy’s Way” at a Town Board meeting Tuesday. She also presented Mr. Wilinski’s wife of 48 years, Wanda, and their children and grandchildren with a proclamation recognizing Mr. Wilinski’s commitment to the Riverhead community.
The longtime president and manager of Polish Hall, and a former Riverhead postmaster, Mr. Wilinski died last month.
