The owner of the old Huntington Firehouse building on Main Street wants to demolish the building as part of his plans to build a multi-use structure in the village, but local historians have petitioned the town board to get a historical designation for the building, potentially blocking development.

In further attempts to crack down on thefts of dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles, Suffolk County Police Second Squad detectives and Third Precinct officers recently executed a controlled buy of a dirt bike reportedly stolen from an Elwood residence on March 22.

Village of Huntington Bay will soon start a planned $525,000 renovation of village hall, including the addition of a 750-square-foot extension and basement.
