The contentious matter of AvalonBay and a once-defeated plan to build in Huntington Station has arisen again. Two members of the Town Board and Supervisor Frank Petrone have been discussing the possibility of reviving a scaled-back version of the proposal to build dozens of units on property near the LIRR station.
