DEC Official to Address Community Concerns at Civic Association Meeting

A representative from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation will be a speaker at the Kings Park Civic Association meeting Thursday night.

The DEC rep is expected to discuss the agency’s responsibilities and enforcement procedures as well as recent community concerns regarding the east side of the Kings Park industrial area.

The DEC recently issued a warning letter to the Gesuale site on Lawrence Road, directing it to cease accepting vegetative debris and submit a plan to better manage the material already on site.

Members of the newly formed Old Northport and Lawrence Road Task Force will also be present.

Other topics include an update on the Hightower homes, the Uplands Housing Project and the Town of Smithtown’s interest in acquiring 55 acres of property at the former psych center.

The meeting will take place Thursday evening at 7:30 in room 101 of the high school. A copy of the agenda can be seen in the photo section of this article.
