Bill Mannix, Town of Islip’s Director of Economic Development, meets with representatives from the other Long Island IDA’s and Discover Long Island. All eight IDA’s are working on a cooperative effort to market the area and bring more businesses to Long Island.

Within the Town of Islip is an underutilized resource known as Foreign Trade Zone #52 (FTZ). In this designated area, import-export businesses with global dealings are at a competitive advantage when it comes to profitability and production flow, making the FTZ one of the most invaluable resources to business in the area.
When considering corporate relocation, quality of life is one of the top factors. But it’s no secret that the key to success for many businesses is location, location, location. That’s why the Town of Islip IDA offers site location assistance among many other services (or another similar word) , including business incentives, tax abatements, and foreign trade zone access. But before a business owner decides to uproot its HQ to a new area, there’s a lot to consider beyond economic incentives.
Back when Long Island was undeveloped farm country, the Town of Islip was founded by William Nicoll in November of 1683. Now, 335 years later, our beautiful town is thriving and has grown to be the third largest township in all of New York State. In our year-long birthday celebration (you’d celebrate all year long too if you were 335 years old) of our beautiful town that brings industry and a bustling community together, many local businesses have participated in the celebrations with special offerings, especially many of our local restaurants.
