Money Coming for Fort Salonga's Landmark Spot
Word is going around that state money is headed toward Fort Salonga to help fix up a spot that a lot of people around here consider a real landmark. Grant funding like this usually moves slow, but it means someone thought the place was worth the paperwork, and that counts for something.
I have not seen the full breakdown of what the work will cover yet, so I will not guess at timelines or what it will look like when it is done. If you want the details as they come out, Long Island Business News has the report here.
Projects like this tend to nudge people's feelings about a place, even before a shovel goes in the ground. If you are curious how Fort Salonga stacks up against other Smithtown hamlets, I keep notes on that over at /towns/.
