While I applaud ridding the East End of defunct gas stations [“Town Planners Analyze A Trio Of Gas Station Upgrades,” 27east.com, April 5], would we be missing the perfect opportunity to build in charging infrastructure for electric vehicles?
Each of these three stations can be developed from the beginning with a few DC fast chargers, while planning for the future needs of our communities by ensuring that these stations are built for scale, as more and more electric vehicles and trucks are on the roads.
Amazon’s commitment alone to use electric “last-mile delivery” trucks, would keep these stations busy, given their new Westhampton location.
The time is now. The electric vehicles are on the way soon.

On Monday, May 29, Southampton Village and the Commission on Veterans Patriotic Events will be hosting the Memorial Day ceremony at 11 a.m. at Agawam Park. This is one of the most important events that we can celebrate and recognize...

As we prepare to cast our vote in the upcoming election, I feel it important to recall the defining incident in the recent mayoral term and reflect upon it before making any decision. What happened that night was quite simply...
There is a supervisor named Jay who said Bel-Aire will come down in a day and you will see the beautiful bay, but (five years later) in the light, a terrible sight, all you can see is blight. Jim Dreeben...
Whatever happens with this Marsden vote, I’ll be happy to move on. Did we forget that it’s okay to disagree without being disagreeable? Running our schools is a complex endeavor. The board members are volunteers. They spent countless (thankless) hours...
I have recently become aware of the Shinnecock Indian Nation’s efforts to gain access to Coopers Beach in the Village of Southampton. Allowing access should be pursued without hesitation. It would represent a small gesture of acknowledgment and symbolically address...
