Friends,

One thing is clear from the public meetings on the Strong's warehouse project: our community is divided.

For those of us who think protecting the environment, the character of our community, and our safety and sanity on the roads, it is essential that we make our voices heard now.

The deadline for getting your comments in to the Planning Board is July 10. Send your comments to Jessica.Michaelis@town.southold.ny.us or jessicam@southoldtownny.gov. Use subject line: Strong's Yacht Warehouse Project.

Unsure of what to say? Visit our website for a quick review and handy cheat sheet. Super short version: Strong's project would cut down 630 mature trees and excavate 134,000 cubic yards of sand to build a pair of yacht storage buildings totaling 101,500 square feet on the banks of Mattituck Creek. More details here.

It was truly inspiring to see so many friends of Mattituck Inlet come out at the public meetings.  A motivated and vocal community can make a difference. Get your comments in.
