The Express News Group hosted the latest panel discussion in its Express Sessions series, “Blueprint for a Historic Village: Deciding on Sag Harbor’s Future” on Thursday, November 16, at The American Hotel in Sag Harbor.

With a new mayor in place, Sag Harbor Village appears poised to tackle an important planning project: long-discussed updates to its zoning code, including the potential for the creation of a comprehensive plan, which truly does serve as a blueprint for the village’s development future. Considering the various pressures the village faces, including a proposal for a new residential and commercial development that could transform its corner of the village and continuing concerns about water quality and affordable housing, a master plan conversation will not be merely hypothetical: It will set the stage for Sag Harbor in the 21st century. What should it say?

The panel included Sag Harbor Village Mayor Tom Gardella, Village Trustee Ed Haye, Sag Harbor Partnership Board Member Susan Mead, and Oza Sabbeth Architects Principal Nilay Oza. It was moderated by Express News Group Executive Editor Joseph P. Shaw.
