Riverhead Town To Acquire PBMC Property For New Town Hall

RIVERHEAD, NY — Riverhead will soon be seeing a new location for Town Hall: On Wednesday, Town Supervisor Yvette Aguiar announced that the town is in contract to purchase a property from the Peconic Bay Medical Center Foundation to relocate the facility.

The contract will result in the purchase of the Robert Entenmann Campus at 4-6 West Second Street — with a goal of developing a new Town Hall central to revitalization efforts.

Peconic Bay Medical Center will reinvest the funds into the emergency department expansion, women’s health services and further ambulatory expansion, Aguiar explained.

“Officially entering into contract brings us one step closer to finally realizing the entire town board’s goal of establishing a new, modern Town Hall,” Aguiar said.

"We are thrilled to be of assistance to the town and offer the property for sale. In turn, this new venture will enable us to expand our medical infrastructure and services to the community,” said Amy Loeb, executive director of Peconic Bay Medical Center.

The new town hall will provide a meeting room, as well as office space for departments including the town historian, the tax receiver, the town clerk, the assessor, community development, code enforcement, building and planning, the town supervisor and town board, the town attorney, information technology, accounting, human resources, purchasing and more

The relocation is expected to begin within three months and will take approximately one year to
complete, Aguiar said.

Riverhead's justice court will be relocated to the current Town Hall and the police department
will expand its offices and remain at the current location.
