At its March 5 meeting, the Huntington Town Board selected S&J Food Services to run the concessions at Crab Meadow Golf Course, funded critical road and infrastructure improvements, and scheduled public hearings for the April 16 meeting.
The Town Board enacted the granting of a license agreement to operate and manage the banquet room and snack bar at Crab Meadow Golf Course in the Town of Huntington with S&J Food Services Inc.; the Town will receive $280,000 in revenue over the initial three year term, the highest offer proposed to the Town during the RFP process.
“During the RFP process, S&J Food Services proposed the best financial offer to the Town and exhibited the most knowledge and enthusiasm for investment in the facilities,” said Supervisor Chad A. Lupinacci. “The restaurant at Crab Meadow Golf Course has been closed since November 8 and this timely approval will ensure they are up and running for the start of our busy golf season.”
The Town also authorized $5,250,000 in infrastructure improvements:
