If you’ve passed through the Sag Harbor 7 Eleven lately then you may have noticed some of the new interior revamping that was done – new lights, new layout, new food offerings, new coffee dispensers.

Making a Great Place Even Better

Imagine how much easier it would be to cross County Road 39 on foot if it had raised crosswalks and medians like this.
