There are many ways you can be actively involved in your community’s DRI process including upcoming community meetings.

The Kings Park DRI second Community Workshop was held on Thursday, September 12 at RJO Intermediate and approximately 100 local residents, business owners and stakeholders were in attendance to provide feedback on the project proposals received from the Town of Smithtown and local residents and businesses. Presentation slides and handouts from the past meeting are available online at www.kingsparkdri.com/projects
