Discussion Items

  • Resolution 2026-490: License agreement with Long Island CARES Inc. for use of Manor Farm Park (210 Manor Road, Huntington). Councilwoman Hebert expressed support for the project but raised concerns about insufficient public information, including a potential covenant on the property acquired under the open space program. She noted that the building is in poor condition and that the current license agreement is expiring. She stated, "I support the idea that being put forth. I think that this is a great way to go. It's just that I didn't realize there were so many questions..." She requested postponement to allow for better communication with the public to clarify that the town is not funding the entire project or building apartments. Councilwoman Maury indicated that the agreement with the current occupant expires in August, but the new agreement with CARES is not scheduled until January 1, 2027, so no urgency. The board agreed to hold the resolution over for one to two months.
