Glazer Designs New Quogue Commercial Building A new commercial building currently under construction in Quogue Village at 164 Jessup Avenue on the corner of Quogue Street is designed by architect Pamela Glazer, who expanded the footprint of the existing commercial building’s property by situating a twin building next door joined by an arcade. “It’s been a great honor to design the first new building in Quogue Village in many years,” said Glazer. “The response has been excellent, with many noting that the design fits seamlessly into the community.” The 3,489-square-foot space will offer four retail units and one large second-floor ...

That is a far cry from saying it is still aboriginal title. It’s two separate standards.” This is just plain false.

The Southampton Town Business Alliance strongly objects to the proposed amortization law for sand mines in Southampton Town, asserting that the law’s attempt to shut down all local sand mines would have severe ecological and economic consequences. Ecological impact: The SBA warns that this law would exacerbate traffic congestion, particularly on already overburdened roads like County Road 39.

Economic impact: The closure of local sand mines would have significant economic repercussions, including the increased cost ...

I am a Westhampton Beach resident and I watched the work closely at the windmill [“Top Two Portions of Dix Windmill Assembled in Westhampton Beach,” 27east.com, January 7]. The contractor who moved the windmill from its original site to the new location, and who also pieced it together at the new location, didn’t get any credit in your article. I think it’s important they are recognized. The company is Dawn House & Building Movers, owned by Stanley Kazel. Jess B. Estie Westhampton Beach
