In Port Jefferson Village, some recently installed fixes have washed away, resulting in million of dollars of needed work.
PORT JEFFERSON, N.Y. -- A winter of raging storms has taken its toll on Long Island's shoreline.One glaring example is in Port Jefferson Village, where some recently installed erosion measures have washed away.A jewel in the village is a country club with stunning Long Island Sound views. But a bird's-eye view shows the catering facility and tennis courts precariously close to a 100-foot-high eroding bluff, and recent work to shore up the bluff has taken a big hit.
'Our community utilizes this facility in many ways and it's something we are committed to and don't want to see anything happen to.'But it's a community divided, said resident Myrna Gordon, who added she would rather see the building demolished and new one put up out of harm's way.
