The referendum to allow the Amagansett Fire Department to purchase the old Pacific East location passed last night. The 140-102 vote now gives the department the go ahead to pick up the property for $2.8M, a steep discount from the original $8M ask. Immediate plans include expanding parking and a training facility. The district eventually hopes to add an ambulance bay to expand its emergency medical services. Some felt the vote was scheduled a little too soon after the initial announcement because it wouldn't be Amagansett if someone didn't find something to complain about. [Patch]
