Richard Moody is reporting in the Register-Star Greenport officials say delays in a street reclamation project are the responsibility of its contractor, Reclamation LLC. Greenport Highway Superintendent Mark Gaylord said the project to reclaim pavement on Charles and Kline streets, and part of Arthur Avenue was supposed to take two weeks, but five weeks into the project, the streets are still covered with dirt and pockmarked with holes. "I would like to apologize for the delay as it has been out of my hands for some time...," Gaylord said Tue., Jun. 6.

A company representative said they are talking to the town about the project and what went wrong. Read the full story in the Register-Star.
