As Sag Harbor's business district continues to evolve a public conversation is being planned to examine what these changes will mean.

As Sag Harbor's business district continues to evolve at a breakneck pace - with multiple longtime establishments sold, listed for sale, or rumored to be on the market - a public conversation is being planned to examine what these changes mean for the village's future. This forum will bring together a panel of local stakeholders to discuss recent and proposed property transactions, redevelopment pressures, and efforts to preserve space for independent, mom-and-pop businesses. Topics are expected to include high-profile properties such as 2 Main Street, the former 7-Eleven site and The Corner Bar, and broader concerns about long-term trajectory of Main Street.

This Express Sessions event will change up the normal structure of Express Sessions by starting at 4:30 p.m. and not including lunch. In lieu of lunch, an hour of wine-and-cheese networking will be held following the panel discussion.

The ticket price structure is as follows: Tickets for subscribers to 27east.com, The Sag Harbor Express or The Southampton Press are $10. The nonsubscriber ticket price is $64 and includes an annual subscription to both 27east.com and your choice of The Sag Harbor Express or The Southampton Press delivered to your home weekly.
