Water District Building Name Change Will Honor Local Advocate

The name of the Dix Hills Water District Administration Building will be changed to honor community advocate Sheila Saks.

Saks, who died in July, was a member of the Town of Huntington Citizen Committee and worked on the construction of the water district's building in 1991.

The Town Board unanimously voted to name rename the building after Saks at Thursday's meeting.

Saks also served as the president of the House Beautiful Dix Hills Civic Association. She was the co-owner of Ben Freedman Gent's Furnishing in New York City.
