PETROCHEMICAL ODOR UPDATE

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has advised that Asphalt Supply of Long Island on Comsewogue Road has undertaken significant investments to address community concerns; these investments include the installation of a new filtration system, which was scheduled to be completed in August. The facility owners expect the improvements will bring the facility into compliance with the upcoming, more stringent regulations that would otherwise not take effect until 2027 (based on current annual production levels). The Village is requesting that residents continue to report any incidents of petrochemical odors in Poquott through the reporting form on the village website or by sending an e-mail to poquottvillage@villageofpoquott.com

ROAD INFO SESSION January 24, 2024 | 6pm Emma Clark Library

The topic of road safety and conditions has been one that many residents have expressed interest in seeing improved.

Drivers rolling through stop signs and exceeding posted speed limits is an ongoing concern. Speed camera were a consideration that was not met favorably and Poquott Code Enforcement Officers – like those in many neighboring communities – do not have the authority to issue moving violations. Speed bumps present pros and cons and mixed opinions but may be Poquott’s only recourse.

While our road conditions are not unlike those in neighboring villages, many of our residents often request that most – if not all – Poquott roadways be resurfaced. Doing so would have significant tax implications as our current budget and NYS reimbursement can not fund this request. Some residents welcome the idea of tax increased for this purpose. Others do not.

Please join your neighbors and fellow residents to share opinions and thoughts with the Village Board.

BENCH SPONSORSHIP

The Poquott Community Association is gauging interest in a Bench Sponsorship Program this fall. Benches will have an etched plaque naming the family (or honoring a family member, etc). Bench sponsorship is $1200 (tax deductible and all earnings go back to the Poquott Community) and up to 2 families can sponsor one bench (2 plaques). See benches in person at Walnut and California. Please e-mail cronindac@gmail.com to reserve your bench and preferred location.
