Taxpayers pay

The shipyard multi level apartment "project" got close access to a parking lot on Barnum Ave at the expense of the tax payers of Port Jefferson Village, $525,000. plus the taxes we would have had for the house that was there. The uptown apartments on Texaco Ave have the parking lot being built with tax payers money, the amount not calculated yet. The approved apartments on Brook Rd have limited space for anticipated renters parking, lets see where our tax money goes to provide parking for it. The administration keeps saying the parking fees pay for parking however it didn't happen on Barnum Ave, A $525000. 10 year bond was issued for the taxpayers to eat. How long will the taxpayers put up with this without saying a word? It is now 1/13/2019 and nobody seems to care.
