Resident voices environmental concerns as CHAB reviews Needs Assessment for Route 114 middle‑income rental project
Summary
A resident attending the March 25 CHAB meeting raised environmental concerns about the East Hampton Housing Authority Route 114 middle‑income rental project while committee members discussed a draft needs‑assessment study funded by the Empire State Development Authority and requested additional demographic detail.
Laurie Gibbs, identified in the minutes as a Sag Harbor resident and commercial real estate developer, used the public portion of the March 25 Community Housing Advisory Board meeting to say she was attending as a "very concerned citizen" and expressed concerns about environmental impacts of the East Hampton Housing Authority Route 114 middle‑income rental housing project.
Committee Chair Andrew Garvey acknowledged the presence of a draft Needs Assessment Study — funded by the Empire State Development Authority — and said study authors would be asked to provide more detailed information about housing need and demographics, including household size and income. Garvey said he would review the draft and provide suggestions for additional data the committee could request.
The minutes record the draft study as completed but do not provide the study's detailed findings, numerical estimates of need, or timelines for when the additional detail will be returned to the committee. The public comment and study discussion were part of the meeting record but no decisions or votes on the Route 114 project are recorded in the minutes.
