The Lowdown

Southold Reallocates $199K 💰

Southold is making moves! The Town Board just shifted $199K in Community Development Block Grant funds—originally set aside for senior center bathroom upgrades—to install a much-needed generator at the Town Annex.

Why? A recent power outage on Feb. 20 proved just how critical it is to keep operations running, no matter what. The decision also comes amid uncertainty about future federal funding. Locals got their say at a public hearing on March 19, and there’s still time to weigh in—the comment period stays open for two more weeks! ($)

Top Stories from the week 📖

☕️ New Coffee Alert  Say hello to Macchiato, the newest coffee spot in town, now open at 13175 Main Road in Mattituck.

☀️ Solar Power or Local Headache The Southold Town Planning Board is still debating a proposed solar facility at the old Cutchogue landfill, and the public hearing has been extended until April 7 at 5 pm to get more community input. ($)

🧠💪 Fighting Cognitive Decline  Peconic Landing is making waves in dementia care with a new pilot program—SAIDO Learning®.

🗳️ Ballots Counted, Board Set Greenport voters have spoken, but the election wasn’t without drama.
