On November 8th, voters will have the ability to create 
The Peconic Bay Community Housing Fund

The primary source of funding will be from a 0.5% real estate transfer fee paid 
by the buyers of homes in the Town. (Same as the Community Preservation Fund) 
Current homeowners do not pay any fees toward the fund.
