Suffolk County Space Management Committee Meets Jan. 28; Public May Submit Statements

Suffolk County's Space Management Steering Committee will meet Wednesday, Jan. 28 at 1:00 p.m. in the Legislative Clerk’s Upstairs Conference Room, 725 Veterans Memorial Highway in Smithtown. The meeting notice, issued by the County Executive’s Department of Public Works, invites members of the public to attend in person or to submit written statements in advance to Geoffrey Mascaro, Director of Asset Management.

The county posted the public notice on its events page on Jan. 21, 2026, and the accompanying document bears a Jan. 13, 2026 date. A downloadable meeting notice PDF is attached to the county page for residents and stakeholders who want the full agenda and logistics. The notice lists committee leadership and provides mailing and email addresses for submission of public comments as part of the formal record.

Space management is a technical but tangible part of local government that touches taxpayers, municipal partners, nonprofit organizations, and county employees. Decisions taken by the Space Management Steering Committee can shape where county services are delivered, which facilities are leased or repurposed, and how the county uses its property portfolio to control costs and support programs. For Suffolk County residents, that can mean changes in access to offices, community meeting rooms, or shared facilities used by social service organizations.

The meeting offers a direct channel for residents to raise concerns or support proposals before committee members take action. Written statements submitted to Geoffrey Mascaro will be part of the meeting record, and in-person attendance allows residents to observe deliberations and public comments. The room is located at 725 Veterans Memorial Highway in Smithtown; the meeting is scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m.

For those unable to attend, the county notice explains how to send written statements by mail or by email using the contact information provided in the notice. The document attached on the county events page is the authoritative source for submission deadlines, agenda items, and listed committee leadership.

The Space Management Steering Committee meeting is one step in the county’s ongoing handling of public assets. Residents who follow county affairs or who represent organizations that use county space should consider reviewing the meeting PDF and deciding whether to attend or file written comments with Geoffrey Mascaro. Outcomes from the Jan. 28 meeting may inform future decisions about facility use and asset priorities for Suffolk County.
