HK Ventures has modified its proposal to reduce the extent of the variances it needs for its 412,659-square-foot industrial complex on a 30-acre site in Calverton.

Riverhead is assessing potential impacts of the proposed Riverhead Logistics Center, a 15-acre 'high-cube' warehouse, as if it’s a traditional storage facility, as opposed to a potential e-commerce fulfillment center — a dreadful mistake that could have irreversible consequences.

The 412,000-square-foot HK Ventures industrial building on a 30-acre site on Middle Country Road in Calverton cleared a key milestone in the review process Thursday, with the Riverhead Planning Board’s acceptance of the developer’s final environmental impact statement.

The review and approval of a proposal to build a 412,000-square-foot industrial building on a 30-acre site on Middle Country Road in Calverton stalled at the Riverhead Planning Board last week after the board’s former chairperson lodged a forceful complaint about the process being followed.

The “Calverton Industrial Park” proposed by Nassau County developer HK Ventures on 30 acres fronting Middle Country Road (next to Tractor Supply)would consist of 412,629 square feet of warehouse and manufacturing space in eight buildings. The environmental impact statement was made public this week. Here's a rundown of what it says.

The Flanders, Riverside and Northampton Community Association has filed an ethics complaint against Riverhead planning and building administrator Jefferson Murphree in connection with his private consulting work for a developer seeking permits to build a gas station and convenience store on the Riverside traffic circle just across the town line in downtown Riverhead.
