Time To Grow

The community and Southampton Town officials have been optimistic about the Riverside redevelopment plan for years. But residents of Flanders and Riverside are right to be concerned that its potential to transform the area into a vibrant business center has the potential to backfire and create monstrous residential density in a hamlet that needs growth but not necessarily growth in population. A presentation last week in front of the Town Board should go a long way to ease some of those concerns. The consultants formulating the plan for the hamlet center’s growth promised stakeholders that the amount of residential density ... by Editorial Board

This matters only symbolically, except for the federal holiday designation — ... by Editorial Board
