*Outdoor dining in Greenport Village “parklets” on Main Street in the summer of 2020.*

• After much public debate over whether to continue the “parklets” allowing outdoor dining in downtown Greenport, as had been established to help businesses at the beginning of the pandemic in the summer of 2020, the Greenport Village Board voted unanimously Thursday evening, March 24 not to continue the parklets this summer. “This is not a vote against business,” said Mayor George Hubbard after the vote, adding that the parklets had created a traffic burden in the village. “We heard a lot of people say they’d rather it was over…. They have kind of run their course. Let’s continue to work together for the positivity of Greenport.”
