In Bohemia, the planes at Long Island MacArthur Airport aren’t the only things taking off. Less than a mile away at Designs for Vision, a surgical illumination and magnification device manufacturer, everyone’s feet are firmly planted and technology and innovation are reaching new heights.
Industrial development agencies (IDAs) are designed to foster economic development through tax benefits and low-cost financing. In New York State, IDAs have been paying dividends with increases in both economic welfare and jobs — and for the fifth straight year, Long Island’s IDAs have created the most jobs of any region in the state.
Islip’s industrial parks provide 106 square miles and roughly 4,200 acres of land zoned for a vast array of industrial clusters, including advanced manufacturing, aerospace/electronics, pharmaceuticals, food manufacturing and distribution, just to mention a few!
From our marinas to our parks to our beaches—including 50 miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline—the Town of Islip offers countless ways to enjoy nature. In recent years we’ve taken steps to ensure our natural resources can endure for future generations. This includes initiatives that promote sustainability and generate clean energy—benefiting not just our residents and businesses locally, but also the environment globally—as well as cutting costs and generating income for the town.
