Happy Wednesday, neighbors! Diane Witek here with everything you need to know to get this day started. Here are the most important things going on in town today.

First, today's weather:

Breezy and not as cold. High: 42, low: 33.

Here are the top stories in East Hampton today:

1. The Tax Office is not open to the public, however, you can pay online or there is a slot in the Tax Office door at 300 Pantigo Place, Suite 106 where payments can be dropped off and receipts will be mailed to you. If you need to pay your taxes or need a copy of your bill, please visit the Town of East Hampton Website. (Press Release Desk)
2. East Hampton Town amps up efforts to create affordable housing options. "The dramatic rise in housing costs and declining inventory of year-round rental properties is threatening to unravel the fabric of our community," East Hampton Town Supervisor Peter Van Scoyoc said in his 2022 state of the town address.
