Is This Smithtown's Biggest Eyesore? [Empty in Smithtown]

Former trucking facility has already been targeted by the town.

Over the past few weeks we've profiled a good selection of empty properties in Smithtown and while , and , none of them have been targeted by the town for remediation.

But that can't be said about the former trucking facility known as the Haynes/Fairview Holdings property. If you've ever taken the Long Island Rail Road out of Smithtown you've seen the complex, which is overgrown and awash in graffiti right next to the tracks.

The town , and while no details have been released on what officials plan to do about the site it's been made clear that they intend to remedy the blight.

Meanwhile, the Haynes/Fairview Holdings property is regarded as one of the area's biggest eyesores. And though it's sealed off by metal fences lined with barbed wire, that hasn't stopped vandalism on the property, which contains a main terminal and a free-standing storage facility.

So, we ask, is this Smithtown's biggest eyesore? And since we know the town plans to deal with this property, what do you want to see done?

We can all make a statement one way or another when we vote. However, that statement should be madeRead More on a state level not the local level. Boards of Ed are powerless to do any real cost cutting. The state needs to take this on. We need real reform in Albany to reduce the ever increasing pensions and life long benefits that educators enjoy. Combine this with letting Albany decide salary increases for all educators and we can guaranty tax reductions over the next few years. Its that simple, Boards cannot do these. Lets get Albany to move on these NOW!
