The new workforce housing rental apartment development in the final stages of construction on West Main Street drew 20 applications for every available apartment. The developer held a lottery today in Riverhead Town Hall to rank the applicants.

Developers of Peconic Crossing in downtown Riverhead are readying 45 new workforce housing apartments for rental. The units will be available to tenants who meet income limits, with preference given to artists.

Demolition is underway at the former L.I. Science Center site on West Main Street.

The five-story, 45-unit apartment building proposed for West Main Street was granted preliminary site plan approval last night by the Riverhead Planning Board, which last night also issued a determination that the development will have no significant environmental impact.
