Huntington Councilman Mark Cuthbertson has sponsored a resolution to ban smoking of all kinds at town-owned athletic fields in the town.

Both supporters for and advocates against a proposed Brightview Senior Living assisted living center in Dix Hills swarmed to Huntington Town Hall on Tuesday for a public hearing on the proposal held during the monthly town board meeting.

The owner of the old Huntington Firehouse building on Main Street wants to demolish the building as part of his plans to build a multi-use structure in the village, but local historians have petitioned the town board to get a historical designation for the building, potentially blocking development.
