Prospective purchasers for 117 townhouse units gathered at Huntington Town Hall on Tuesday in hopes of winning a lottery drawing that would bring them one step closer to a cooperative share of the Highland Green housing development, which is nearing completion on Ruland Road in Melville.

A pair of Huntington Station brothers are planning to set sail from the Centerport Yacht Club with 140 veterans and their family members later this month as part of their nonprofit organization.

The Huntington township is among the locations considered for the planned Long Island Recovery and Outreach Center, part of an initiative to assist substance abusers who have recently started treatment.
