Friends,

The deadline for getting your comments in to the Southold 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 a sample letter.  In short: Strong's project would cut down 630 mature trees and excavate 134,000 cubic yards of sand next to the Mill Road Preserve in order to the to build a pair of yacht storage buildings totaling 101,500 square feet on the banks of Mattituck Creek.

Concerns include the project's impact on the environment, local traffic, loss of community character, public safety and the setting of a precedent for oversized development. More details here.

A motivated and vocal community can make a difference. Make your voice heard.
