East Hampton Town and the Peconic Land Trust are joining forces to purchase the development rights and preserve Stony Hill Stables in Amagansett, a popular 10-acre horse farm and riding center.
The East Hampton Town Board approved a resolution last Thursday authorizing a 50-50 purchase of the rights with the Peconic Land Trust, a nonprofit group that will help Stony Hill Stables raise private funds for the preservation. The total purchase price is $978,500, not including closing costs, according to the board’s resolution. The Peconic Land Trust is aiming to meet its $489,250 share by the end of 2014, according to Sara Gordon, the project manager. The town will use its Community Preservation Fund to pay for its share.
