The Shelter Island Town Board on April 27 designated itself lead agency under the State Environmental Quality Review Act, completed Parts 1–3 of the Short Environmental Assessment Form and adopted a Negative Declaration for the proposed acquisition of 2 School Street, finding no significant adverse environmental impacts.
Following the SEQRA determination, the board adopted Resolution 2026-197 authorizing the Supervisor to execute documents to acquire the property for a purchase price not to exceed $791,000, plus survey, title, prorated tax and recording charges.
