Economic Development

Economic development is crucial to our community’s health. Suffolk County needs employers that will not just be located in a community but that will also give back to the community.

I have worked with the Economic Opportunity Council of Suffolk to help create opportunities for our communities and other underserved populations. As Legislator I will look to do the same. Suffolk County needs employers that will not just be located in a community but that will also give to the community. The IDA in Suffolk does good work, but we must ensure that the projects and companies your taxpayer money goes to stay in Suffolk and invest in Suffolk. In addition, I promise to support efforts by the Suffolk County Landbank. I will work with the Landbank to find unused, tax-evading plots in the 15th Legislative District and revitalize them, bringing them back into the community.
