Huntington board considers helicopter ban

The Huntington Town Board meets tonight to consider banning many helicopters from landing in the town.

The board will hold a hearing on the “motorized aircraft” ordinance, which was described by an official as preemptive, since private helicopters are not now landing in the town and no one has applied for permission to do so.

The board is also scheduled to:

  • Amend its regulations on accessory apartments in order to qualify for a Suffolk County program that provides funds to combat illegal housing. The measure would add having two doors or two doorbells to the list of indicators of accessory apartments.

  • Authorize the supervisor to execute a contract with RB Conway & Sons for reconstruction of the Mill Dam Causeway in Centerport.

  • Schedule public hearings for Oct. 16 on the town’s operating and capital budgets.

    The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at town hall. For a full preliminary agenda, click here.
