📰 News we're reading

• Construction Begins on Port Jefferson Housing Project (lilifepolitics.com) — A $38 million Perry & Main development has officially broken ground in Port Jefferson's South Village, bringing 53 new affordable apartments and street-level commercial space next to the LIRR station. State and local leaders say the all-electric, mixed-income project replaces long-vacant buildings, supports veterans and residents with disabilities, and anchors the village's broader downtown revitalization plans.
   

• Port Jefferson cancels varsity football season due to lack of players (greaterlongisland.com) — Port Jefferson High School's varsity football season has been canceled after the Royals fell short of the 16-player minimum, leaving all eight scheduled games as forfeits. Section XI officials even explored a merger with Rocky Point, but postseason eligibility rules blocked the idea, making Port Jeff the latest Long Island program hit by low roster numbers.
