Summary
The town historian wants markers honoring the town's oldest business, the Aquebogue Park area, and the Wading River Congregational Church, timed to America's 250th anniversary. A foundation grant would cover the roughly $5,000-per-marker cost, so taxpayers wouldn't pay. Board members were supportive but want the wording fixed first.
