The Town of East Hampton Economic Development Commission voted to nominate Romeo’s Jewelry Design as Business of the Month for March at its Feb. 17 meeting.
Chairwoman Mary Milewski moved to nominate Romeo’s Jewelry Design and Mr. Todd Schrager seconded; the motion passed 4-0 with Nicole Romeo recusing herself from the vote.
