3. Suffolk Officials eye Lloyd Harbor grounds for preservation. Suffolk legislators and others recently toured the Seminary of the Immaculate Conception in Lloyd Harbor recently to build support for open space preservation of land owned by the Catholic institution. “Preserving open space is a priority that almost all Suffolk County residents share,” said Suffolk County Legislator Stephanie Bontempi. “Properties like these are getting rarer and rarer, especially in western Suffolk County. We have to seize this opportunity and ensure that all Suffolk County residents present and future have unfettered access to this jewel.” (LongIsland.com)
4. A new Greek restaurant will open in Huntington Village. Noema will open Monday at 7 Gerard St. and features an award-winning chef and traditional Greek dishes. Let us know if you try Noema out! (Huntington Now)
