Town Board at Thursday's work session for a chance to win a $567,000  
grant-funded contract to develop a proposal for a revitalization and  
redevelopment plan for the West Main Street corridor along the  
Peconic River in downtown Riverhead.

The funding comes from the state's Brownfields Opportunities Areas  
program, which targets redevelopment of areas that contain a number

BOA steering committee, explaining how they would approach the  
completion of a downtown revitalization study to meet the objectives  
detailed in the BOA grant awarded by the state
