• Southampton Town Retains AAA Bond Rating • Southampton, NY ' I Love Hamptons (ilovehamptons.com) — Southampton Town has retained its coveted AAA bond rating from S&P, meaning the town can borrow for projects like park, beach, facility, road, and sidewalk upgrades at lower interest costs. Officials credit strong real estate values, conservative budgeting, and pay-as-you-go policies, which together help protect taxpayers while funding improvements that shape daily life across Southampton.
• Hamptons 'Tumbleweed Tuesday' tradition fades as tourism stretches into fall (nypost.com) — Southampton's Main Street, rail station, and local restaurants are staying busier well past Labor Day as the old "Tumbleweed Tuesday" quiet season fades.
