                     About SAVE SAG HARBOR

   

    Save Sag Harbor was started as a community-based effort to keep Sag Harbor from becoming overrun by big chain stores, and to make sure that family-and locally-owned businesses can continue to thrive here.  We want to protect the sustainability of Sag Harbor's many small stores and the social, cultural, and environmental aesthetics of the Village. Their proprietors are our friends and neighbors, and if they are pressured to close their doors,  the character, and in fact the "brandable"  nature of our village, will change irrevocably. This realization has evolved into the larger goal of maintaining the scale and quality of life in and around the village in both commercial and residential terms.  Save Sag Harbor's first public meeting was held on July 15th, 2007.


Mission Statement


    The purpose of Save Sag Harbor, a not-for-profit organization, is to inform the citizens of Sag Harbor of the endeavors necessary to insure historic, environmental, and aesthetic preservation of Sag Harbor and to collaborate with those citizens in this undertaking. Save Sag Harbor is trying to prevent the overdevelopment of Sag Harbor Village and its waterfront, by supporting re-zoning and a comprehensive plan that will strengthen our zoning and clarify the historic district boundaries, and recognize and protect its unique character and composition.


   To this end, Save Sag Harbor has hired legal and planning experts and advisors and is pursuing a multi-pronged approach to help educate ourselves and the community and work with Village officials. Save Sag Harbor is pursuing creative, non-partisan solutions that will benefit our community economically and culturally.


    Save Sag Harbor shall undertake all civic and educational activities necessary to achieve the following in this historic Village:


    ·    Public awareness activities to encourage village property owners to become involved in the issues and the public process, including petitions and letters;


    ·    Public relations activities to encourage village residents and others to "shop locally" in order to support our existing merchants;


    ·    Seminars and panel discussions using planners, lawyers and other consultants to facilitate delivery of information to merchants and village owners on materials relating to Main Street programs, historic preservation, comprehensive planning and other relevant issues.


   ·     Creation of a Village trust to assist in economic development and sustainability efforts.


    ·    Dissemination of information from continuing investigation into contingent aspects of issues facing the Village, including maintaining Village infrastructure, housing concerns, transportation, traffic circulation, environmental impact, and general sustainability.
