Good morning, North Fork! It's Tuesday, and the Southold Town board will meet to discuss a full range of issues, including a new affordable housing project pitched for Cutchogue. If you want to weigh in, to speak on the issues shaping our town and home, participating in town board meetings provides that opportunity. Having covered the town board meetings for more than a decade, it's shown me the true role residents can have, in shaping their own futures.
