we actually did it guys and beach lane is officially the chosen landing spot. i cant thank you enough for sticking with me while we pushed for the shorter route and less construction chaos. lets just keep our eyes on the final project timeline so everything stays on track.

Landing the South Fork Wind Farm Cable at Beach Lane, Wainscott Causes the Least Disruption and Offers the Most Benefits for the Entire Community
Final supporters
The South Fork Wind Farm ("SFWF") intends to construct 15 wind turbines 35 miles off the coast of Montauk that will ultimately deliver electric power to the Cove Hollow substation in East Hampton (see yellow circle on map image), projected to serve 70,000 households on the South Fork of Long Island. The developers' preferred landing spot for the Export Cable ("EC") to come ashore is Beach Lane in Wainscott (4.1 onshore miles), but they are now considering landing in Hither Hills (11.9 miles onshore), which would require the cable to be installed through Amagansett and East Hampton villages (and their respective Main Streets). We believe the Beach Lane landing site would cause the least disruption, and to be preferable for numerous reasons. Join us in urging both the developers and East Hampton Town officials to approve this preferred landing site and route to the Cove Hollow substation.
With regards to the project itself, we know that some of our local fisherman have raised concerns and we take those very seriously. We stand with them and we will work to see that an agreement is reached prior to the project moving forward.

Common sense says take the short route. Why make it harder than it needs to be for everyone living here?
the traffic is bad enough as it is. dont turn the whole area into a giant construction zone for no reason.
so tired of these planning changes. just pick the path that hurts the community the least and stick to it.
12 miles of construction is crazy. nobody wants their street torn up for two years just because someone changed the plan.
beach lane is the logical choice. lets get this done quickly and stop dragging it out for years.

KEEP THE CONSTRUCTION OUT OF AMAGANSETT MAIN STREET. It is already a nightmare all summer long.
