J HeME: Form prepared by' Kurt Kahofer, research ..IS so laughable he kept quiet about it. True, half of the town "as farmland or undeveloped shoreline-but what New Yorker would want to tell his friends that he was buying a summer home in Riverhead? Four years Inter , unemployment in Riverhead has been pared down to 6.2 percent. The tax base is up $15 million . And although the town lies in the shadow of L1LCO'S ruinously expensive. potentially dangerous, and possibly doomed nu clear-power plant at Shoreham, there's a 126-unit, SI8-mil lion condominium community-"the very best of California on Long Island "-just opening on 204 acres at Baiting Hollow Bluffs. The developers had wanted to spend $38 million and build 300 units. Their bankers were more cautious-they divided the project into thirds .

So Janoski finds projects like Baiting Hollow Bluffs and the recently proposed SeaWatch, a development that could crowd as many as 190 un its on 55 acres, necessary to keep the boom going in Riverhead. What's more, he argues, they will reduc e the pressure for development on t he ~orth Fork by putt ing second hom es w here the y are mOre convenient. more practica l-and more welcome. Greg Blass, who represents Riverhead and the No rth Fork in the Suffolk CountyLe g i srn tur~, worries that this campaign sets a pro-condo tone that will eventually spill beyond Riv erhead's borders: "Suffolk is the chief agricultural county in the state, and most of those farms are in eastern Suffolk.
