After 14 months, The New WHB Supermarket Request Is Still Not Being Entertained
A new supermarket is needed in Westhampton Beach. The Mayor and the town board have avoided Mr. Mendelson long enough. In October of 2011, the Mayor said the issue would be discussed "soon."
This issue just needs to be addressed, again and again. Below is a copy/paste from a blog written in October of 2011. It's truly unbelievable:
"The Westhampton Beach Village Board of Trustees said on Wednesday night that they are not quite ready to hold a public meeting on a proposal by a local developer to bring a new supermarket to the area.
When the question came up during the board's monthly work session, Village Mayor Conrad Teller simply said, "It's not on the agenda. It will be soon."

Developer Andrew Mendelson, who is a Westhampton Beach resident, stood at the village's podium earlier this month to ask the board to please consider holding a community meeting to disuss his plan to construct a supermarket on a 40-acre lot that he owns on Old Riverhead Road"
I just wonder what Mayor Teller's definition of the word "soon" is. It's time for a new supermarket. In fact, it's beyond time. Please come to the town meeting on February 7th and show your support! The time is NOW, not soon...
