Town of Riverhead Comprehensive Plan November 2003
Town of Riverhead Comprehensive Plan November 2003 Pursuant to section 272-a of the town law Town of Riverhead Comprehensive Plan November 2003 Prepared by: Town of Riverhead Planning Board Town of Riverhead Planning Department 200 Howell Avenue Riverhead, NY 11901 Abeles Phillips Preiss & Shapiro, Inc. 434 Sixth Avenue, fifth floor New York, New York 10011 In consultation with: Land Ethics, Inc. 201 East Liberty Street, Suite 16 Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104 Dunn Engineering Associates 66 Main Street Westhampton Beach, New York 11978 Town of Riverhead • 200 Howell Avenue • Riverhead, New York 11901 1. Introduction Riverhead is a community rich in natural, historic, and scenic resources that is experiencing powerful forces of change. Riverhead continues to be the most important agricultural community in Suffolk County and one of the most important in the State. Riverhead's unique landscape also includes waterfront areas on the Great Peconic Bay, Flanders Bay, and Long Island Sound; portions of the Central Pine Barrens and the scenic Peconic River; and distinctive bluffs and woodlands along the Sound. The Town has an historic Main Street and hamlet centers, like Jamesport and Aquebogue. With change, there are both opportunities and risks. Enterprise Park at Calverton promises to attract new businesses and jobs. Increasing tourism is drawing more visitors into downtown, Jamesport hamlet, and the wine country, where they spend money on overnight accommodations, cultural events and attractions, meals, and specialty items like antiques and crafts. Retailers along Route 58 are drawing shoppers from the entire East End, as well as in the western part of Suffolk County. -
