Once 'Dilapidated' Community Center In Westhampton Ready For $8 Million Facelift

WESTHAMPTON, NY — Southampton Town will break ground Wednesday on a "new, improved and long-awaited" Westhampton Community Center.

Originally set to take place Tuesday, the groundbreaking was rescheduled to Wednesday due to inclement weather. Town officials planned to herald the moment by placing ceremonial golden shovels into the soil at 393 Mill Road in Westhampton.

"In doing so, they begin to fill a nearly two-decade void that began for the greater Westhampton area when the previous senior center had become dilapidated beyond repair," town officials said.

Located on the former Bauer property, whose five and a half acres the town purchased in August 2008, the $8 million construction project will take place throughout 2026. When completed, the facility’s 9,000 square feet will feature offices, game rooms, a multipurpose "flex space," and activities sponsored by the Town’s Youth Bureau and Division of Senior Services.

The facility will also have space available for the Arthur Ellis Hamm Memorial American Legion Post 834.
