NIMBY Issues Hit Home as Shinnecock Nation Cuts New Access Road in Hampton Bays

In early February, residents of Quail Run in Hampton Bays woke up to the sound of bulldozers.

The Shinnecock Indian Nation and its development partners had begun cutting and clearing land for a gas station and retail travel plaza they had long been planning to build on approximately 10 acres of tribal property, known locally as Westwoods, on the north side of Sunrise Highway.
