Huntington town board to meet

The Huntington Town Board meets tomorrow night at 7 and is expected to appropriate $4.5 million to increase and improve facilities of the South Huntington Water District. The board is also expected to authorize the issuance of bonds to finance the appropriation.

The largest part of the project involves building a facility to remove contaminants that have been detected in small amounts in water drawn in West Hills. For an earlier, detailed story, click here.

According to the board’s preliminary agenda, it will also consider whether to authorize:

  • The construction of improvements at the Veterans Park Complex costing an estimated $4.5 million. $3,210,000 of that amount would be paid with available town funds and the rest financed with bonds.

  • The comptroller to appropriate funds for recommended work at William Byrne Park and Breezy Park.

  • The construction of improvements to the Mill Dam Causeway in Centerport, with an estimated maximum cost of $2.5 million. That would be financed with town bonds.
