Town of Huntington Town Board Meeting – May 6, 2026
The Town of Huntington Town Board met on May 6, 2026, at 10:00 AM (noted as workshop time) to address a lengthy agenda of resolutions. The meeting began with the Pledge of Allegiance led by Town Clerk Andrew Rea, and a lighthearted recognition of Municipal Town Clerks Week. No executive session was held. The board read through dozens of resolutions, pulled several items for later consideration, and handled procedural transitions to the Board of Trustees, Community Development Agency, and Local Development Corporation (LDC). The LDC annual meeting was opened and immediately adjourned to 2:00 PM to allow a member to attend.

- The board added one late starter resolution (2026-306) to the agenda via motion by Councilwoman Mari, seconded by Councilwoman Hubert, approved unanimously.

- No votes or decisions were recorded for the pulled resolutions (273, 284, 305).
- The next steps include the resumption of the LDC meeting at 2:00 PM and the public hearing scheduled for June 9, 2026, at 6:00 PM on the 5 Flora Street blighted property.
