🌱 Huntington Daily: Town Officials Blast Hochul + Weekend Events

Morning, people of Huntington! Andrew Tessler here with your brand-new Huntington Daily.

First, today's weather:

Sunshine. High: 49 low: 45.

Here are the top 4 stories in Huntington today:

1. Town officials blast requirement to allow more apartments. The voice across Long Island officials has been a unanimous disapproval to Gov. Kathy Hochul's plan to eliminate single family homes. Town Supervisor Ed Smyth led a news conference Thursday with Suffolk County leaders to blast her plan which would fall under The Accessory Dwelling Unit Act of 2022. Take a look at the video in the link. (http://www.huntingtonNow.com)
2. As we head into Valentine's Day and Super Bowl Weekend, take a look at the weather forecast ahead. Friday is another warm day with a high reaching 52. Saturday will be the best day we've had in months, with temperatures reaching 55 degrees. The cold will be back for Sunday and Monday, so make sure you get out and enjoy the weather Friday and Saturday. (Huntington Patch)
3. Looking to head out and take advantage of the beautiful weather while is still lasts? Great, we have you covered with a list of events for Super Bowl and Valentine's Day weekend! You can take a master ballet class at The Huntington Performing Center for Performing Arts on Friday or see Patton Oswald at The Paramount on Saturday. (Huntington Patch)
4. Four Walt Whitman students were featured in TedEd Student Talks. They worked with the Huntington Breast Cancer Coalition to educate others on healthy food choices, anxiety, and more. "It's amazing seeing these young ladies do this and the personal connections they've made," said Dr. Matthew Murphy, supervisor of Math, Science, Technology Education, Business Education & Instructional Technology. "This is a great accomplishment and it's exciting to see their work be published and featured." (Huntington Patch)
