Town Council Approves East Hampton High Renovation Plan

Backers of a $52 million plan to renovate East Hampton High School passed their last major hurdle on Tuesday night to bring the proposal to the voters when the Town Council approved the plan. 

The council also set a June 4 referendum date for the townwide vote on the project.
