Town of Huntington - Highlights
11/2/2015 - Petrone, Berland, Edwards Drop By Gateway Nights
Huntington Station – Huntington Supervisor Frank P. Petrone and Councilwomen Susan A. Berland and Tracey A. Edwards dropped by the first-ever Gateway Nights at the Gateway Plaza on October 30, taking part in the pumpkin painting and listening to the live music that were part of the event the Town co-sponsored with the master developer for Huntington Station, Renaissance Downtowns.
More than 250 people attended the event, which ran for three hours on the evening of the 30th at the pedestrian plaza the Town built at the intersection of New York Avenue and Olive Street.
Supervisor Petrone and Councilwomen Berland and Edwards thanked Renaissance Downtowns for organizing the event, and the businesses that participated: the Shops at Suite Pieces, which helped with the pumpkin decorating; Quality Island Landscaping, which helped in acquiring the pumpkins; and Jonny D’s Pizza, the food vendor. Suite Pieces, Quality Island, Deck & Patio Company and Flowerdale all participated in creating a fall-themed décor piece. The bands Zofolk and Cautionary performed.
The goals of the event were introduce residents to the plaza, to make people aware of its features and to encourage their participation in the Huntington Station revitalization efforts the town is undertaking with Renaissance Downtowns, including a proposed mixed use building adjacent to the plaza and artists residences and exhibition space across the street.
