• State court orders permit for Holtsville battery plant (newsday.com) — A state judge has ordered Suffolk County to issue a permit for a large battery-storage plant in nearby Holtsville, despite county objections over toxic materials and drinking water risks that worry Holbrook neighbors. Holbrook resident Fran Lunati, living just a half-mile away, is among those upset as Suffolk appeals, Brookhaven pauses new battery reviews, and officials weigh stricter safety and water-protection rules.
