Forchelli, Curto, Crowe, Deegan facilitates Smithers Estate sale

Partners Anthony Baron and Judy Simoncic of Forchelli, Curto, Crowe, Deegan, Schwartz, Mineo and Cohn, LLP negotiated the sale of approximately 25 acres of the 30 acre Smithers Estate to the County of Nassau. The county acquired the land under its environmental bond open space program. Simoncic secured all required zoning approvals to subdivide the property from the involved municipalities of the Villages of Mill Neck and Martinecock. Barton and Simoncic successfully worked with the county to reach mutually agreeable terms, so that under the sale, the property is to be preserved as open space and used by county residents as a passive park. The transaction closed in July. Forchelli, Curto, Crowe, Deegan, Schwartz, Mineo & Cohn, LLP is a full-service law firm with more than 100 employees and offices in Mineola and Melville, N.Y.
