Denise Merrifield for Riverhead Town Council

NO AIRPORT at EPCAL

As a resident of Wading River I am opposed to ANY airport opening at EPCAL.

WAREHOUSES

I am opposed to massive logistics warehouses. I support following the Town’s Comprehensive Plan proposals regarding industrial development

UNVETTED MIGRANTS

I will fight for LOCAL control not Hochul Control by allowing local governments to stop unvetted migrants coming into our town. Other jurisdictions should not impose health, safety, and financial burdens on our residents

DEVELOPMENT of DOWNTOWN RIVERHEAD

I am in support of continued smart development of the downtown Riverhead area. This is an exciting time to be part of making Riverhead a thriving and vibrant destination.

AGRICULTURAL PRESERVATION

I will promote smart economic growth while maintaining agricultural preservation.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

I will fully support our Police Department in keeping our town safe. I am opposed to the current bail reform laws which allow arrested criminals back on our streets. I will work to have these laws reversed.

Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney and Denise Merrifield, October 19th, 2023.
