Good Morning!

• The East Hampton Town Board voted unanimously last night to come up with a solution to the ongoing problem with noise at the town-run airport in Wainscott “which may include restrictions on helicopter and/or other aviation operations at the Airport, to address local disturbance resulting from aviation operations at the Airport” at their meeting last night. The town board intends to implement the selected alternative(s) before the 2015 season.
