Eight separate student groups from the SUNY Center for Brownfield  
Studies in Syracuse pitched ideas for a revitalized downtown  
Riverhead to town officials and residents Monday afternoon, many of  
whom saw a year-round farmer's market and mixed-use space hugging the  
Peconic River along East Main Street as vital parts of downtown  
Riverhead.

Professor Emanuel Carter of the SUNY Landscape Architecture  
department, one of the lead faculty advisers for the project, said he  
asked students to focus on three main areas: reconnecting the town  
with the Peconic River, economic growth in the town and landscape  
design.

With the presentations all focusing on these main ideas, the eight  
groups presented unique designs for the area downtown from the

integrated some of the same elements including a year round farmers'  
market, a mixed used building and housing.
