In response to today’s rally by Make The Road New York and New York Communities For Change, we are sending a strong message that the Long Island Delegation supports economic growth in New York State and welcomes the potential creation of new jobs. We strongly believe Amazon could be a great partner for the region and we will continue to support projects that encourage job growth and economic prosperity for the constituencies we represent.
Voters can rest assured that not only on this issue, but our entire legislative agenda, prioritizes the interest of Long Islanders, and it is important to clarify that the needs and concerns of Long Island residents are vastly different than those of New York City residents.
We stand firm in the belief that by working together, we can find a solution that will allow us to work with Amazon and local stakeholders to make sure that the community, residents, and employees’ concerns are addressed in a way that is mutually beneficial for all.
