Before the Town of
Southampton closed its offices to the public til the end of March, the Southampton Town Board was set to
approve legislation regulating what should happen when native grave sites are
unearthed.
The Board also was to
consider placing a temporary moratorium on building in parts of the Shinnecock
Hills, a once pristine area, where natives buried their dead.
But as development of multi-million
dollar properties continues throughout the town, and reasonably priced housing
is scarce, we asked real estate veteran Michael Daly, and local architect Bill
Chaleff to consider what type of development is needed, and if we need a
moratorium on building throughout Southampton.
Also we asked Shinnecock
graves-protection activist Becky Genia for her viewpoint.
More about these issues next month on Sustainable East End.
