Tweaks made to plans for $8M East Hampton senior center
Engineers submitted adjusted plans for the East Hampton Town Senior Center, 27 East reported. Initial plans by Bohemia-based engineers Savik & Murray for the 18,700-square-foot facility drew concerns from some board members that it was too big. The new plans expand the use of the facility’s basement space for storage and lower the roofline on areas of building. The adjusted plans, which board members said are still very rough, haven’t been made public.“I don’t think this has been public enough, and I’d like to hear some real public input on the issue,” a councilman Jeffrey Bragman said.
