ICYMI: Animal Shelter To Be Built In Halesite

HUNTINGTON, NY — The Huntington Town Board approved funding for a new animal shelter to be built in Halesite, as well as plans for a permanent memorial to honor victims of the coronavirus pandemic, at its meeting on Tuesday, the town announced.

The shelter was planned to be constructed on Creek Road in Halesite and is estimated to cost, at most, $7 million, according to the town. Of that, $500,000 will be paid for by grant funding from the New York State Companion Animal Capital Fund and $500,000 from the proceeds of bonds previously issued in 2014. The remaining $6,000,000 would be bonded to finance the balance, the town stated.
