From natural disasters to terrorism, New York businesses have survived a lot in the past two decades, and coping with COVID-19 is no different. It will take time, but when it becomes safe, businesses will begin to reopen. But getting businesses through these uncertain times is a primary focus for us and we know that the road to recovery isn’t always a straight line and how to best utilize available resources may not be as straightforward as they could be. In order to support our local Town of Islip industries, we put together a full list of COVID-19 disaster relief resources.

D&F Development, which started in 2002 as a partnership between myself and Leonard D’Amico, is made up of three distinct entities: a development company, a construction company, and a property management company—and we now have an assisted living facility, Carlisle Communities. In Bay Shore, we recently broke ground on a senior independent residence with an LGBT center.
