Would Steiner's Woods Acquisition Help Sound Beach Drainage Issues?
Possible acquisition to be discussed at upcoming Sound Beach Civic meeting.
Erosion and drainage issues have been a problem for years on the bluffs in Sound Beach, but recent extreme weather has made those issues much worse and put homes and even lives in serious danger.
Recently, the Sound Beach Property Owners Association aired its grievances with Patch, saying they are losing members every year because of limited beach access.
The Town of Brookhaven set a public hearing for April 23 to discuss the acquisition of Steiner's Woods, a natural drainage area, through eminent domain.
