Buy a Brick and Create a Legacy

The Centerport Harbor Civic Association is excited to announce our latest project to enhance the community spirit of Heron Park. We invite you to be a part of this special initiative by purchasing an engraved brick that will be installed along the walkway of our picturesque park on the Mill Pond.

This fundraiser provides a unique opportunity to leave a lasting legacy in Centerport. You can dedicate your brick to honor a loved one, commemorate a special event, or simply show your support for our community. Each brick will be custom-engraved with your personal message, creating a timeless tribute that will be enjoyed by all who visit the park.

To participate, please CLICK HERE and order form to electronically purchase your engraved brick. The options for customizing the text on your brick are available on page two of the electronic form. This campaign will run until February 28th, 2025. We anticipate brick installation in the Spring.  There will be a dedication ceremony for the memorial that you will be invited to.  

Join us in this meaningful project and make your mark on Heron Park today! Reserve your engraved brick now and be a part of our community’s legacy.

ALERT: Jellyfish Restaurant

There is currently a proposal to remove the derelict Jellyfish restaurant on 25A and to replace it with a mixed-use building of ground floor commercial space and two stories of 9 apartments above that. The Centerport Harbor Civic Association (“CHCA”) has major concerns about safety on an already hazardous stretch of 25A, water quality, our natural environment, and the bald eagles.

A Zoning Board meeting has been scheduled:

January 18, 6 PM at Town Hall100 Main Street, Huntington

It is critically important that the community attend this meeting, to show support for the notion that proposed development should have to comply with Town Codes. Please be there! And bring your friends and neighbors. Finally, for the record, the CHCA is not opposed to development. However, it is opposed to development that is not in compliance with Town, County and State codes and regulations. Additionally, CHCA is particularly concerned with the safety of our local population, and our natural environment.

ALERT: Jellyfish Restaurant Update (1-26-24)

We wanted to provide you with an update on the events that happened during the January 18th hearing on Jellyfish, at the Town of Huntington Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA). Despite following all prescribed procedures necessary to even have the meeting, the meeting took an unexpected turn when Chairman Asher announced that the Jellyfish application was deemed a "pre-application"  This sudden and inexplicable change caused confusion and disappointment. The ZBA Chair then refused to let residents speak.  Only our legal representatives were permitted to address the meeting. 

As this has been a challenging experience, we are navigating through various options and remedies, including the previously scheduled Article 78 proceeding in New York State Supreme Court. We will keep you informed as developments unfold. If you haven already, you can watch the January 18th meeting on the Town website; follow these steps: https;//huntingtonny.gov/meetings.  In the section "Meetings Video on Demand" - select the video for the Jan. 18th ZBA meeting.

Please note that Jellyfish item was placed last on the agenda, so you can fast forward to approximately 1 hour and 8 minutes to catch the beginning of the Jellyfish discussion.
