Smithtown has backup plan if offer for property is refused
“Smithtown Town officials plan to make way — via purchase or eminent domain of a thin strip of property — for the construction of a new street connecting parallel roads in St. James.
Officials want to connect the north-south running Southern Boulevard and Broadley Avenue, which intersect with Middle Country Road, to offer easier traffic flow for drivers.”
