Village Vs. Town Re: Bridge
“Southampton Town is expected to move forward next week on plans to repair the Sagg Bridge using federal money, despite objections from Sagaponack Village officials, who are desperate to preserve the small country bridge which crosses Sagg Pond and connects Saga?ponack to Bridgehampton on Bridge Lane.
The village board has sought to control the 1923 bridge and assume all responsibility for it, and is now considering acquiring it by eminent domain. In a letter to the Southampton Town Board last month, Mayor Donald H. Louchheim said board members were frustrated at being unable to reach an agreement with the town about how the bridge would be altered.”
