Riverhead Town Board eliminates agritourism inns from comprehensive plan update due to public opposition.

The Riverhead Town Board has eliminated agritourism inns and resorts from its comprehensive plan update due to significant public opposition over concerns for agricultural preservation. Local civic groups mobilized against proposed rezoning of farmland near Long Island Sound, prompting hundreds of letters and a petition with over 2,500 signatures. A separate meeting will be held on September 18 to further discuss the proposal and community feedback.
