Replacing the village clock
At about 7:30 a.m. on Monday morning, when Sag Harbor’s Main Street was still largely deserted, a crew with a bucket truck from Leo’s Electric pulled up to the Sag Harbor Municipal Building.
A short time later, a box truck arrived, and workers pulled out a new clock for the façade of the building.
The old clock, which had been in place for years, finally gave up the ghost last year. At the request of Mayor Tom Gardella, the Sag Harbor Partnership, which underwrites good causes, large and small, throughout the village, stepped in to buy a new one.
