🌱 East Hampton Daily: Monday Is Property Tax Deadline + Ice Show

Hey, neighbors! It's me again, Diane Witek, your host of the East Hampton Daily.

First, today's weather:

Plenty of sun. High: 31, low: 24.

Here are the top stories today in East Hampton:

1. Town property tax deadline is Monday, however, the Tax Office is not open to the public. 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. (Town of East Hampton)
2. Coming to East Hampton: "Inspiration on Ice," a free show by Ice Theatre of New York; the show will take place Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at the Buckskill Winter Club, located at 178 Buckskill Road in East Hampton. City Skate Pop-Up Concerts are supported, in part, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Gov. Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature, among other organizations.

3. Residents in Easthampton can rest easily now that the Hampshire County TRIAD program has installed more than 900 Safe Entry lockboxes for residents in nine communities in the county. "The lockboxes hold house keys that can help first responders address emergencies when a condominium occupant is incapacitated," said Dave Fenton, TRIAD director and deputy sheriff for the Hampshire County Sheriff’s office. The lockboxes can be opened with a code known only to public safety personnel, allowing first responders to enter a condo faster in the event of an emergency. (NewsKudo.com)
4. On Friday, Gov. Kathy Hochul said she is "cautiously optimistic" that hospitalizations are beginning to plateau after the holiday COVID-19 surge. However, she announced that she is seeking to require all hospital health care workers to receive a booster shot. New York was the first state to mandate vaccinations for health care workers, and now, Hochul said that effort will continue with her efforts to require that health care workers be boosted within two weeks of eligibility, with no test-out option and only medical exemptions.
