“I look forward to having Larry Vetter as my partner in Smithtown on budget and environmental issues,” said County Executive Bellone. “As an entrepreneur whose business provides environmental solutions, he will bring his real world experience of financial responsibility and environmental expertise to the Town Board.”

“I know Larry understands the importance of ensuring Smithtown attracts young professionals,” continued Mr. Bellone. “Together we will create an innovation economy, inspiring young people to stay, raise families and prosper in Smithtown.”
