The new Smithfield Patch will go live a week from today!

Local Editor Joe Hutnak and his team is working to get Smithfield Patch ready for its debut. Joe is meeting with Smithfield residents and officials and planning coverage for the site. 

He's also created a Facebook page. Make sure you like Smithfield Patch on Facebook to stay up to date on the latest news in Smithfield. Keep an eye on smithfield.patch.com in the meantime.

As we get closer, we'll be asking you to sign up for the newsletter so when Smithfield Patch goes live, you will be the first to know. And, if you have friends or relatives in Smithfield, send them this article so they can be onboard for the launch.
