New State Interpretation of Cannabis Law Could Kill Tuckahoe Shop Proposal

A cannabis dispensary has been proposed in the former Hampton Car Club building on County Road 39 that shares a property line with the Tuckahoe School. New guidance from New York State would appear to disqualify the property, and dozens of others around the state that have already been okayed by the Office of Cannabis Management, from being eligible to host a dispensary.

The Senior Surge

People often speak wistfully about young people being the future of this country. They certainly are — but let’s take a moment to recognize that the next few decades are actually going to belong to senior citizens. Which makes a group like Seniors Taking Action, founded by Mary Mulvihill of North Haven and Judy Loeb of East Hampton six years ago, even more impactful.
