Sag Harbor finalizes deal to build waterfront park where condos were once planned
Sag Harbor officials reached a deal last week with developer Jay Bialsky and Southampton Town that will help push the John Steinbeck Waterfront Park project forward. Southampton will use $10.5 million from its community preservation funds to buy the 1.25 acres from Bialsky, 27east reported. That land would link others to create a continuous waterfront park. Greystone Development was the previous site owner and had planned a condo project there before selling to Bialsky in April. The developer will retain some of the land to build three townhouses with boat slips. [27East]

Town of East Hampton lifts ban on takeout-only restaurants
The East Hampton Town Board lifted a ban last week on takeout-only eateries in its commercial district. Locals hope that lifting the ban will bring new businesses to the district, 27east reported. The ban was originally put in place in 2008 to curb trash buildup on the streets. Officials said they’d recently been fielding inquiries from potential tenants, pushing them to rethink the policy.
