Partly sunny. High: 78 low: 60.
Here are the top 3 stories today in Sachem:
- Suffolk County Legislature votes 13-1 to approve local development corporation to fund the construction of $2.8 billion Midway Crossing Air Terminal and Convention Center. The corporation "will help raise money through the issuance of tax-exempt bonds and pave the way for the two partners to apply for state and federal grant money that will help off-set construction costs."
