East Hampton Proposes Municipal Land Acquisition Of 7.3 Acres

EAST HAMPTON, NY — East Hampton Town officials have proposed continuing the expansion of municipal land acquisition — with the purchase of 7.3 acres on Abrahams Path in Amagansett for

$3.875 million, town officials said.

Situated at 403 Abrahams Path, the parcel would be purchased with municipal funds and
stems from a right-of-first-refusal clause in the original contract with Joelle and the late Alexander Kabbaz, town officials said.

The town purchased their 7-acre flag lot, now designated for the new senior center, in September 2021 for $1.63 million, officials added.

While there are presently no plans for the property, the acquisition would help to address the town's future need for municipal community resources, officials said.

East Hampton Town Supervisor Kathee Burke-Gonzalez emphasized the significance of this
purchase. "This acquisition provides us with the flexibility needed to tailor future initiatives for the evolving needs of our community. It represents an investment in the long-term sustainability and prosperity of East Hampton, ensuring that we can continue to thrive in a manner that benefits all residents."
