Smithtown urges patience

Smithtown has put 110 pieces of equipment on the roads, along with 120 workers, 30 to 40 of them private contractors, Smithtown public information officer Nicole Garguilo said.

Crews from the town’s Parks, Buildings & Grounds Department have been on since 7 p.m. Sunday and “will be working well into the night tonight” cleaning up the town’s LIRR stations, all town buildings and town-owned rentals until the job is completed, Garguilo said.

The town is urging patience while crews are at work. “This is an exceptional amount of snow. This will take time,” Garguilo said.
