Huntington’s 75-foot Christmas tree on Wall Street will not return this year due to safety concerns.
Officials say shutting down Huntington’s Wall Street causes issues for firefighters, EMS and police officers in an emergency.
Huntington Town Supervisor Ed Smyth says there will still be a tree lighting this year. It will take place at Heckscher Park on Nov. 26 following the Huntington Holiday Parade on Main Street.
