East Hampton Town Board approves $17.4 million capital plan with 98 projects for roads, safety, and infrastructure. New luxury homes in Wainscott and Bridgehampton set for 2026 completion amid development surge.
The East Hampton Town Board has adopted a bold 2026 Capital Plan funding 98 projects to upgrade roads, bridges, and public safety across the Hamptons, totaling $17,401,980.
This plan comes as Long Island eyes a strong year for development, with transit-oriented housing and infrastructure like Suffolk County's sewer expansion gaining steam. In the Hamptons, luxury new construction homes are breaking ground, positioning the area for growth.
After Town Board work sessions, the **2026 Capital Plan** targets essential fixes in East Hampton Village, Montauk, and beyond. Funds will repair aging roads on Montauk Highway, bolster bridges near Main Beach, and enhance public safety at key spots like the East Hampton Airport runway. This $17.4 million push ensures smoother traffic and safer streets for locals and summer visitors driving through Wainscott and Amagansett.
South of the Highway in Bridgehampton, a stunning 7-bedroom estate at 136 Trelawney Road nears completion in 2026, boasting 10,586 square feet, a gunite pool, pool house, and tennis court on 2.4 acres. In Wainscott, 84 Wainscott Hollow Road delivers an 11,287-square-foot mansion with 8 bedrooms, resort amenities, and tennis, priced at $23.995 million, built by Paramount Development Group. Southampton's 2 Grove Avenue adds a 6,715-square-foot coastal contemporary with a heated pool near Little Peconic Bay, while Montauk's 94 Laurel Drive offers a customizable 4,100-square-foot home with pool and spa.
Experts predict rising residential builds and civil projects, including Mastic Beach revitalization designs by Hayduk Engineering. Retail 'de-malling' in Brookhaven's CRD zones and casino proposals could spark more action, filling vacancies and supporting smart growth around Hamptons downtowns.
