Riverhead Planning Board

Great food, beautiful location — but a site that’s difficult or impossible to bring in compliance with the law. That’s the unanimous assessment of Riverhead Planning Board members grappling with the question of what to do about Farm Country Kitchen.

Peconic Crossing, which plans to build 48 rent-regulated apartments in downtown Riverhead, was awarded nearly $5.5 million in state funding. The project is in the final stages of review by town planners and the developer hopes to break ground by the beginning of 2016.

PBMC Health plans to establish the East End’s only designated trauma center, CEO Andrew Mitchell today told the Riverhead Planning Board, which approved the hospital's plan to build an annex in the parking lot in front of Bob's Discount Furniture.

Riverhead Councilman George Gabrielsen says longtime planning board member Lyle Wells was 'fired' over ethics concerns.

Wait times can be more than 6 hours long at PBMC's ER, which sees 38,000 patients a year, according to hospital officials. The strain on the ER can be relieved by treating less serious cases at the proposed annex.
