Public Invited To Celebrate Ribbon-Cutting At New Riverhead Town Hall

RIVERHEAD, NY — The public is invited to attend the ribbon-cutting for a brand-new Riverhead Town Hall.

The official dedication takes place on Wednesday, October 4, at 11:30 a.m.
Riverhead Town Hall offices will now be located at the former Peconic Bay Medical Center Foundation Entenmann campus, located at 4-6 West 2nd Street, at the corner of Griffing and Roanoke Avenues.

"The town has attempted to identify a new Town Hall and justice court location for more than two decades," Riverhead Town Supervisor Yvette Aguiar said. "With this new acquisition, Town Hall will move into a new building and the current Town Hall will become justice court."

She added: "This week, it is finally becoming a reality."

The campus signifies a $20 million land acquisition in Riverhead with four properties, Aguiar told Patch. The acquisition of the property, she said, created an opportunity for Riverhead to create a new Town Hall central to the town's overall ongoing planned downtown revitalization efforts.

Offices sited at the new Town Hall will include the tax receiver, town clerk, assessor, community development, code enforcement, building and planning, the town supervisor, town board, town attorney, information technology, accounting, engineering, purchasing, town historian, human resources, and others, the supervisor said.
