Developers propose condo conversion for historic Southampton inn

The Village Latch Inn on Hill Street in Southampton Village could become luxury condominiums if the town approves a plan submitted by Beechwood Latch LLC. The property has operated as an inn since 1901 and was sold to Beachwood and Southampton developer George Benedict in 2016 for $23 million. The proposed development would create 24 condo units, restore two architecturally historic cottages on the site and add a garage. Some residents have voiced concerns about the project’s impact on traffic and noise levels. [Newsday]
