A Message from the Supervisor

“Welcome to Islip, the 3rd largest town in New York State, but with an endearing small town feel. We are so proud of our town…our beaches, golf courses, marinas, parks, housing opportunities for all, businesses, industrial parks, healthcare and educational institutions including our own Islip MacArthur Airport that provides many job opportunities. I sincerely hope you find this website helpful.” Angie

November 17th, 2021 Town of Islip Supervisor Angie Carpenter applauded Department of Public Works crews for their tireless work last week, assisting teams from PSEG-LI in the aftermath of a storm carrying high winds and heavy rains that hit the region midday Saturday. The storm caused downed trees and limbs that resulted in damage to property and automobiles in Nassau and Suffolk counties. The National Weather Service confirmed 5 tornados touched down across Long Island.

After the storm passed through the Town of Islip, DPW supervisors quickly transitioned from standby mode into assessment mode, surveying damage and dispatching equipment after learning of possible tornado touch downs in the area.

Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter together with DPW Commissioner, Tom Owens and Public Safety Commissioner Tony Prudenti worked to ensure that neighborhood roads were open and safe while PSEG-LI crews restored power. “We dispatched our resources and worked throughout the weekend side-by-side with PSEG-LI crews to get power back on for our residents, and to ensure our roadways were open to first responders in the event of an emergency. Currently all debris has been removed and our roadways are open. We thank our residents for their patience and understanding as we worked through the cleanup,” said DPW Commissioner, Tom Owens.

“Our crews are truly dedicated to the safety and well-being of our citizens,” said Islip Supervisor Angie Carpenter. “Residents and PSEG-LI customers benefit most, when we work collaboratively with our partners,” added the Supervisor.
