• When a couple dozen residents of the Aquebogue-Jamesport corridor showed up at Riverhead’s town board work session Thursday morning to hear the town’s plan to study the Main Road corridor through their little chunk of the town, many said they don’t believe such a study is in the best interest of their neighborhoods. The Beacon’s full story is online here.
