Background information


This is a follow-up to the May 3 EPCAL event at Hotel Indigo.


More than 300 people turned a CAT promotional meeting into an overwhelming rejection of announced plans by the Ghermezian family to turn EPCAL into an air cargo and trucking distribution hub.


Stories appeared in the Riverhead Local, the East End Beacon, the News Review, Newsday and on  Channel 12. An editorial in the Local nailed it "Hey, Triple Five. We get it. Do you?".
