Bond Issue Scheduled for Oct 11
The Riverhead School Board has tentatively scheduled the much talked about, infrastructure bond issue for a vote on October 11.  The bond will be for an estimate $78.3 million dollars and is supposed to be used for renovations to kitchens, lavatories, roofs, windows etc.

Voting is expected to be held at several district schools, not just the Riverhead High School.  A second proposition or expense item is also being discussed  that would add another $ 7 million dollars to the bond.  The expense is for a second gym at the High School which was originally estimated at $4.5 million.

That Train May Have Left The Station
The Town wants to give up the lease it owns for the Riverhead Railroad Station.  It was turned over to the town by the MTA providing it was used for a non-profit purpose.  The Town has not found a suitable use for it and wants to cut the expense.

How about using it as a satellite police station.  Police vehicles are always in the area and it just may control the place of some  loitering and the otherwise unsavory atmosphere that exists in that area for train and bus users.
