Civic activists are planning to converge on town hall to protest a town board resolution setting a hearing date on the proposed sale of more than 1,640 acres of land inside the Calverton Enterprise Park.

Luminati Aerospace is now partnering with the developers of the two largest indoor shopping malls in North America to purchase most of Riverhead Town’s remaining land at the Calverton Enterprise Park.

Supervisor Sean Walter took his EPCAL show on the road today, speaking to a business organization's breakfast meeting in Ronkonkoma this morning.

“What you did was really progressive. I don’t know if you really understand how progressive that was,” the town's real estate broker at EPCAL told board members today. But residents continue to press for repeal of the code that allows the construction of rental housing as an accessory use to commercial/industrial development.

Luminati CEO Daniel Preston held one-on-one meetings with three council members today. The meeting changed Councilman John Dunleavy's mind about canceling the town's letter of intent wth the Calverton aerospace startup.

The long-awaited replacement of the Wading River beach playground is set to take place over the next two weeks, along with the installation of another new playground near the ballfields at the Calverton Enterprise Park (EPCAL).

A local civic group leader has produced a website that takes aim at Riverhead Town’s efforts to sell the Calverton Enterprise Park and the resulting plans to sell the site to Luminati Aerospace.
