Hope you had a terrific Thanksgiving! Sorry about the week off – the blog may have been quiet, but we’ve been plenty busy. All of the essential information has been gathered and provided to the insurance companies, and they are moving ahead as quickly as we can drive them.
As that milestone indicates, we are working as fast as humanly possible. For the building, we have decided to proceed with Fire Island-experienced partners, and have engaged Scott Bromley, as architect, and Billy Santangelo, for design and construction. On a parallel path, we are also in discussion with restaurant, kitchen and club interior designers.
The process, of course, also involves more meetings than we care to think about, with the Town of Brookhaven, FINS*, Suffolk County Department of Health, and more. An expediter has been engaged, and pretty much everyone we work with is aware of the urgency of this project, and committed to getting things done in a timely manner. The many permits involved are in the works, and it does not look, at this point, as if they will be a significant impediment to our progress.
At this point, we are pleased (if tired) and feel confident enough to say that:
WE WILL PROVIDE A PLACE FOR THE PINES TO SOCIALIZE, EAT & DRINK,
FOR THE 2012 SEASON
Community involvement is invaluable.
Please take a few moments to think about the Sip·n·Twirl, Pines Bistro and Pines Pizza businesses, review what others are saying, and provide your own suggestions, as Comments, below.
