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.
