Mr. Kenneth Adams President & CEO New York State Empire State Development 633 Third Ave., 37th Floor New York, New York 10017
Dear Mr. Adams:
On behalf of the Long Island Regional Council members, we are very pleased to submit a Progress Report on the Strategic Economic Development Plan for Nassau and Suffolk Counties. In just six months we have moved steadily toward all our goals. Implementation is well underway and accomplishments have been quantified.
As the recipient of over $100 million for 62 projects and a “Best Plan Award”, we did not rest on our laurels. We responded to the challenge of achieving contracts with all recipients in just six months. In addition, over 6,000 jobs have already been retained or created as a result of our 13 Round One Priority and nine Excelsior Projects. We promised to capitalize on our region’s strengths and assets, invest in our people, institutions and employers and encourage private financing as leverage, and we delivered.
We believe that Round Two is even more important and the Long Island Regional Council has endorsed 16 Priority Projects totaling over $30 million in state investment and leveraging $1 billion in private sector investment. Your contributions, as well as the extraordinary commitment of Lieutenant Governor Robert J. Duffy and Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, deserve special recognition. The Long Island Regional Coun- cil members, work group volunteers and hundreds of stakeholders extend their great appreciation to this exemplary leadership team.
Respectfully Submitted,

VISION STATEMENT
For Long Island’s economy, innovation has been our past and will be our future. This is a region whose agriculture and fishery harvests have fed the nation, whose natural assets have inspired poets and tourists alike, whose businesses produced the aircraft that helped win a world war and first put men on the moon and whose institutions cracked the genetic code. Long Island will reassert itself as a global center for innovation and the model for a knowledge-based suburban economy that creates new high-paying jobs and improves the quality of life for every one of our residents.
The Long Island Regional Council’s vision for long-term economic growth is character- ized by increased collaboration among academia, the private and public sectors and labor to protect and grow our advanced manufacturing base while encouraging innovation in the life sciences, information technology, clean energy, defense and homeland security industry clusters.
To accomplish this, we will build on the successes of our existing businesses, commercialize the valuable research conducted at our world-class research institutions, and strengthen our highly skilled and educated workforce. At the same time, we will be vigilant in promoting and protecting our unrivaled natural resources and in providing equal opportunity in housing, employment and education. Furthermore, we will continue to invest in our students, transportation, housing and sewer infrastructure, as well as our tourism and harvest-based agriculture and fishery industries. Our goal is to support a sustainable, innovative and inter-connected job-generating economy that also redevelops areas suffering from disinvestment and mobilizes the entire region for years to come.
1 Key Strategies for Economic Growth
Create a cohesive education and workforce training strategy through partnerships among a range of stakeholders – business, trade groups, labor, government agencies, educational institutions, parents and students – with the goal of ensuring that workers from all of Long Island’s communities are prepared to take advantage of new job opportunities in key economic growth sectors.
Develop innovation and industry clusters in transformative locations across the region— including downtowns, brownfields and university, research and medical centers— by integrating the smart-growth principles of transit-oriented development and vibrant community life.
Enhance and develop multi-faceted, interdisciplinary facilities aimed at incubating and accelerating the commercialization of innovative products generated at the region’s premier research institutions, by linking scientists, engineers, and health and medical professionals to entrepreneurs and small businesses.
Reinvigorate Long Island’s manufacturing sector through continued transformation from traditional defense and aerospace work to advanced technology products, creating skilled, high-value jobs and a network of nimble companies that can develop synergistic partnerships with companies in other regions of the state.
Produce a new generation of sustainable, well-paying jobs in the legacy sectors of agriculture, aquaculture, fisheries and tourism by expanding export opportunities, infrastructure, recreation facilities, research partnerships and workforce training.
Rebuild and expand infrastructure to improve job access, revitalize downtowns and transit HUBs, speed trade, and attract and retain dynamic regional businesses and highly-skilled workers.
2 How We’re Doing... An Overview of a Year of Progress and Promise
On a hazy, humid day in July, in a cavernous warehouse under-used for years, nearly 100 people joined Lieutenant Governor Robert J. Duffy to celebrate a collaborative and innovative project to re-invigorate Long Island’s oldest industry. The crowd in rural Riverhead at the Long Island Regional Economic Devel- opment Council event included hard-pressed farmers, fishermen and food distributors, as well as agricul- tural activists from across the region, elected officials from every level of government and journalists from old and new media alike. In a region infamous for the time it can take to complete even the most sensible, straightforward proposal, a stream of speakers praised the Regional Council’s Round One-funded project, called Agri-Park, for the speed and flexibility of local, county and state agencies and the willingness of entrepreneur John King to invest in a leaky building that was becoming a blight on this bucolic landscape. Words like “hope” and “teamwork” flowed often and easily, as one dignitary after another extolled the LI- REDC and the planned state-of-the-art food facility that eventually will support thousands of jobs by using the latest food processing and storage technology to extend the reach of Long Island’s harvested products. It was a day to believe in the possible.
“Agriculture is a staple of Suffolk County’s economy,” Lt. Gov. Duffy said as his voice echoed around the vast space. “Agri-Park will help local family farmers expand their operations while providing neighboring businesses with locally grown produce. Gov. Andrew Cuomo created the Regional Councils to empower local residents, who know their areas best, with the tools for economic growth. The LIREDC developed an innovative way to support the agricultural industry and brought together the right parties to form a unique partnership that will be a model for other regions.”
High praise, yes, and gratifying to hear. Lt. Gov. Duffy’s words were an encouraging recognition of our accomplishments to date. Just as it was encouraging to be honored by Gov. Cuomo last fall for producing one of the state’s best five-year strategic economic development plans. Our comprehensive framework for change was seen as not only creative and consensus-driven but fact-based and focused on achievable results. Our plan included the priority projects, at world-renowned high-tech centers and long-suffering low-wealth neighborhoods, to drive this desired transformation. Working hand in hand with its state part- ners and local stakeholders to move these projects forward, the LIREDC “walked the walk” of its strategies and took the critical first steps toward retooling the region into a job-creating engine of growth.
Overall, under the leadership of Hofstra University President Stuart Rabinowitz and Long Island Associa- tion President Kevin Law, the LIREDC co-chairs, we have made steady progress toward all of our goals. We set high standards and, based on the best quantitative and qualitative indicators, we have succeeded. So far. Last year’s report received high marks for being “brutally honest” and we intend to continue in that vein. The LIREDC realizes full well that the regional economy, like the Agri-Park’s Grapes and Greens project, remains very much a work in progress. As we present our second annual report, “Progress and Promise, Building a Foundation for Long Island’s Future,” we know that unemployment, foreclosures and other measures of economic health point to continued pain for a region once lauded as a national model of suburban prosperity. We understand the increased urgency to turn obstacles into opportunities, the im- perative to marshal our marvelous competitive advantages – our superbly-educated workforce, appealing natural assets, successful high-tech businesses and world-class research centers. So from the moment the award ceremony in Albany was over and we headed back to Long Island with more than $100 million for the region, we have been determined not to rest on our laurels. We knew we could not – and cannot –
3 afford to lose the momentum generated by our nascent efforts to execute Gov. Cuomo’s new public-private paradigm for repowering local economies. And thus we have moved forward aggressively and ambitiously – albeit very, very carefully.
Yes, in less than a year we have created or saved more than 6,000 jobs and, according to our analyses, made a measureable impact on the economy. Hundreds more people have received training, to boost their skills and value to area businesses, through STEM and other programs that are gearing up to add many, many more qualified workers to our labor pool. Long-stalled development projects are picking up steam through the influence of new political, economic and social alliances, particularly in the poorest of com- munities. And, yes, those “wins” have generated headlines and other kudos that have burnished LIREDC’s reputation and raised its credibility. They were good for morale and for motivating our Council and Work Group volunteers, businesses, research institutions, community groups and others to embrace this new competitive consensus-based process for accessing state economic development funds. They could see that it rewards innovation and collaboration. They could see that it works. But our most important accom- plishments have been far less visible.
A critically important, although more difficult to measure, success has been elevating the Regional Coun- cil as the pre-eminent economic development authority for the region. Last summer many were skeptical of the role the Regional Council would play in Long Island’s future. That skepticism was addressed by empowering nearly 200 leaders from business, labor, academia and community organizations to join our effort by accepting roles in the numerous Work Groups. They quickly acknowledged that the process was open, innovative and clearly impactful not only for the funding it received but also for allowing these dis- parate groups to have a strong voice in how the funding would be allocated. The Regional Council has clearly taken the leadership role in advancing strategies and projects for our future- no easy task for a re- gion known for having strong and vocal but not always collaborative groups with distinct priorities failing to achieve consensus over long periods of time.
The LIREDC has focused not just on the year ahead but on five or more years, as required in our strategic plan. The goal: to build a solid foundation for sustainable growth. The team has made sure to scrutinize every one of our funded projects for progress and for promise. In an easily accessible format, we have compiled a unique active database of every Round One funded project that allows for the collection of data concerning project performance for the term of the contract in order to track progress. A spreadsheet demonstrates how projects are advancing our strategies. We have reviewed and in some instances reworked the strategies to better reflect what we’ve learned through our first year of implementing this complex and time-consuming agenda. In listening to our local stakeholders, we have revised our list of regionally sig- nificant projects to better reflect the will and needs of the region and are now describing them as regionally significant sites. We also have meticulously and continuously evaluated our processes and procedures to be certain that they enable success for the long haul. To be certain they are efficient and effective, as well as transparent and accessible to all. To be certain that we aren’t deceiving ourselves – nor being deceived. To be certain that we are living up to our commitment to promote inclusiveness and opportunity, to be avatars for the chronically underserved and excluded.
The LIREDC believes our foundational approach is already paying off. So far, we have gone to contract with businesses and other organizations on virtually every state and Council approved project. By keep- ing close tabs on and listening to the recommendations of a variety of local people, we were positioned to switch gears to take advantage of a sudden, new opportunity, as we did with Agri-Park’s Grapes and
4 Greens, a public-private partnership that is being supported with funds originally approved for an analysis of the project’s feasibility. As food entrepreneur King said, “Why did we need another study when we were ready to go?” We agreed. So far, with the critical assistance of the state’s Long Island economic develop- ment team, led by Andrea Lohneiss, we have met or exceeded our timetables and projections in the vast majority of our initiatives. And, we believe, the successes of the first year have attracted an encouraging crop of new proposals, including those that create collaborative, job-creating synergies with other regions of the state.
As will be evident in the details, our most visible, potentially “game-changing” successes involved the co- operation of some of the world’s most respected research institutions and sophisticated businesses, as well as partisan and even geographical competitors that once rarely worked together. Now they are jointly creat- ing high-tech and other jobs essential to our future. In a sometimes highly partisan region, a Republican- controlled town is now cooperating with a Democratic one on a crucial project of regional significance that only recently seemed destined to be a Smart Growth fantasy. As our five-year plan demanded, these suc- cesses included collaborations with multiple layers of government, as well as businesses, not-for-profits, and community groups, to bring hope to some of Long Island’s poorest neighborhoods. By reaching out and paying attention to what residents have told us, by ensuring that projects are approved and executed methodically, we changed attitudes in places – prosperous and poor -- where the lack of progress has stoked anger and despair. In his eye-opening new book, “The New Geography of Jobs,” economist Enrico Moretti writes persuasively about the need to connect innovation and opportunity agendas and spread the benefits of high-tech, high-paying jobs to all sectors of the community. We embrace this.
Overall, we believe we have walked the walk, and in this report we provide the evidence to prove it. But saving or creating the jobs, and laying the foundation for generating many more, is only a part of the new story for a region that once was a national leader – and can be again -- in research and manufacturing that won wars, cracked the human genetic code, and put a man on the moon. Another positive part of the story is more qualitative, about restoring public confidence in elected officials and community leaders and quelling a crippling cynicism about the region’s ability to get anything done. It’s a part of the story that can be seen in everything from the high level of interest shown by a broad spectrum of people and the time- consuming efforts of the Council’s Working Group volunteers, to the high number of quality proposals and the volume of media coverage. It’s a part of the story that can be attributed to an aggressive strategy designed to keep the public engaged, even reaching out to a once-isolated Native American tribe, as well as to demonstrate that funding decisions are based on merit. Just as Gov. Cuomo’s reform efforts and other accomplishments in Albany have boosted public confidence in state government, we believe the net result of our efforts has decreased cynicism on Long Island.
Even as we continue to reel from the impact of the Great Recession and years of poor local decision- making before it, our region is starting to believe again in its leaders and in itself. We can get something – many things – done. We can become a center for bio-tech and advanced material research and manufac- turing. We can make a dent in the cycle of poverty plaguing too many of our communities. And while the work is far from finished, while we have created only a fraction of the jobs we hope to see within five years and while the many new collaborations still need nurturing to realize their full potential, we believe we have made a strong start. “Our goal,” concluded the Vision Statement with which both last year’s and this year’s report began, “is to support a sustainable, innovative and inter-connected job-generating economy that also redevelops areas suffering from disinvestment and mobilizes the entire region for years to come.” We believe the LIREDC has lived this vision and will continue to live it for the benefit of the entire state.
5 A Year of Progress ROUND ONE
The collective centerpiece of the LIREDC’s efforts remains its transformative Priority Projects. Last year, the LIREDC approved and the state funded 13 potentially “game changing” capital proposals, as well as nine others with Excelsior tax credits. Once fully completed, the Priority Projects – especially the major capital ones – are expected to generate tens of thousands of jobs, and the state’s funding is projected to leverage billions of dollars in private investment. The so-called build out for these projects could take years. That’s why we deemed it important to pay careful attention to the details of each deal, making sure that all contracts were properly vetted and approved, that the private investment was in place, that local communities were informed and involved: We knew that early mistakes could only mean more delay and discouragement. We are pleased to report that all of our projects have made demonstrable strides, includ- ing the creation of new jobs, and that most of the stakeholders appear to be encouraged by what they see, particularly for the opportunity for input. They also have advanced many of the other regional strategies, as charts and more detailed assessments later in the report will show. Significantly, several of these projects have proceeded to the point where they are being recommended for additional funding.
What follows is a summary of the progress of Round One Priority Projects. A more expansive analysis appears in a subsequent section. (See Appendix D)
Investments In An Innovation Economy
• Smart Grid 3: Contracts were recently signed with the state to enable funding for a Stony Brook University-Brookhaven National Laboratory collaboration to establish Long Island as a national center for energy research, development and manufacturing. The $5-million dollar state investment is even- tually expected to realize the corollary benefits of lower power costs, improved research capacity and training for high-tech students. The new facilities will augment focused research and development work on leading-edge smart grid technologies already underway at these top institutions.
• Accelerate Long Island: This region-wide initiative has united several major research institu- tions and other organizations by matching scientists with entrepreneurs and early state venture capital- ists to bring promising products – manufactured here – to market. So far the state’s initial investment of $500,000 has created tremendous momentum. It has leveraged another $700,000 in private funds, creat- ing an emerging technologies fund that is investigating four potential high-tech initiatives for possible support. Accelerate, widely lauded as a symbolic and actual example of a new level of collaboration to promote innovation, has just hired its first executive director.
• Thought Box 1 – Hicksville: Buoyed by a $3 million capital grant, the developer is proceed- ing with negotiations to acquire and retrofit an underutilized building in a major downtown transit HUB to house affordable living quarters, offices, labs, recreation and commercialization services for fledgling high-tech ventures. The uniqueness of the project, which innovatively carries out the goals of Accelerate Long Island to monetize local discovery, has spurred the developer and its supporters to reach out to various community and business groups to increase visibility and acceptability.
6 • Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: A $3 million state capital grant helped persuade one of Long Island’s largest pharma firms, Amneal Pharmaceuticals, to expand its Suffolk County manufactur- ing and distribution HUB, saving and creating hundreds of jobs in an important emerging innovation industry. A larger facility will enable this company to meet the growing demand for its products. Amneal is in the process of acquiring final approvals to allow construction to proceed this year.
• CSHL Advanced Drug Testing: Conceptual drawings have been completed and modifica- tions of special land use permits have been obtained, the latter an especially key step in creating a new $90-million Cold Spring Harbor Lab facility that will establish the region as a bio-medical research center by transforming the way cancer treatments are developed and administered. CSHL, already one of world’s leading genetic research institutions with many Nobel Laureates on staff, is raising the brunt of the funding, a strong leveraging of the state’s investment of $2 million.
Investments in Rebuilding LI Communities “Smartly” • Wyandanch Rising: After receiving a state commitment for $6 million in capital funding, this heavily leveraged project to completely redevelop Suffolk’s poorest minority community is proceeding apace. The mixed-use, transit oriented development plan, which will add jobs, housing, and street beau- tification, centered around its LIRR station, has received multiple state and local approvals. A sewer in- stallation project, the key to accelerating progress, is nearly completed. So is a new park, a “green” child and healthcare center, and the relocation of businesses from the construction zone. Roadway design is expected to be completed in September and construction started shortly after.
• Hempstead Village Renaissance: The state’s $5 million investment in Hempstead’s decrepit sewer system has encouraged the village, one of the region’s most distressed communities, to finalize a new zoning code, hire a sewage consultant and authorize a master developer in connection with a mas- sive mixed used redevelopment of the downtown that would have an economic impact beyond village lines. An estimated $2 billion in private investment would create thousands of construction and perma- nent jobs, eliminate blight, reinvigorate a critical transit HUB, and provide social and environmental benefits for a village with LI’s highest concentration of minority businesses.
• Ronkonkoma-MacArthur Transit HUB: In a matter of months, a sewer district Map and Plan has been completed and design work started on this rare collaboration between two large towns, Brookhaven and Islip, and Suffolk County. The initial $4 million state investment, leveraged by $21 million from Suffolk, will provide a necessary sewage treatment plant to enable construction of a Smart Growth, TOD village in a distressed community – and which will strengthen ties between Suffolk’s larg- est rail station and a regional airport in a commercially critical area. The master developer has already been selected.
• Heartland Town Square: $2.5 million in state funds was approved for road construction to connect the Long Island Expressway to the 450-acre site, formerly the world’s largest psychiatric hospi- tal, where a private developer plans to build the region’s largest mixed-use community. The developer, Gerald Wolkoff, has invested $75 million in site preparation and is seeking final approvals. This long- stalled transformative project that is strongly supported by Suffolk County will cost nearly $4 billion and generate 10,000 temporary and permanent jobs.
7 Investments in Our Natural Assets
• High Tech Agriculture: Highlighted in the introduction to this report, the Agri-Park project, marketed as Grapes and Greens chilled processing plant and distribution network, will allow East End farmers, fishermen and other food producers to reach more markets that require specific handing, stor- age and transportation standards. This heavily-leveraged public-private partnership represents a nimble, stakeholder-driven shift in funding from a $500,000 feasibility study to actual subsidy for participating farmers after a local entrepreneur demonstrated that he was “shovel ready” to refurbish a dilapidated warehouse. Improving the bottom line for those keeping our agriculture economy alive is the expected outcome of this collaborative venture involving the Long Island Farm Bureau, Peconic Land Trust and the farming community.
• Bay Scallops Restoration: The $182,000 Regional Council grant has already increased pro- duction of valuable scallops in the hatchery and allowed Cornell Cooperative Extension researchers, working with local baymen, to expand a “long-line grow-out system” in Orient Harbor that allows the scallops to grow in a protected environment away from predators. The scallop industry has recovered only 10 per cent of its value since the brown tide in the 1980s, so it has much potential to create reve- nues, jobs and positive branding for Long Island, particularly in selling to New York City’s trend-setting gourmet restaurants and retail outlets. Investments in our Workforce • EngINE: The Hofstra and Stony Brook EngINE projects are focused on dramatically increasing the number of students entering and completing engineering degrees at Long Island universities. The projects – a single initiative operating under separate state contracts -- will enable the participating insti- tutions to increase their enrollments by 15% over three years by providing capital funds to rehabilitate, expand and equip instructional laboratories. The ESD capital investment of $2 million will be matched by institutional investments in new faculty hires. Both initiatives seek to remedy the dire shortage of engineers in the workforce and improve the job prospects of graduates. Construction is underway at both Hofstra and Stony Brook. Hofstra has created a School of Engineering and hired a world renown academic engineer as its dean. Stony Brook is recruiting a new program director as it continues work on its facilities.
• STEM Workforce Innovation Network: This far-reaching job training effort has linked the resolve and resources of a number of Long Island institutions and organizations around the idea of preparing more residents, especially those from under-served communities, to more fully participate in the regional workforce. And while the initiative is being carried out under six separate state contracts, summarized below, the committed schools, businesses, not-for-profits and government agencies remain linked through institutional relationships, common goals and shared spirit:
NS-LIJ Next Generation Health Care: This partnership primarily of Adelphi Uni- versity and various divisions of North Shore-LIJ Health Systems, the region’s largest employer, already is augmenting the technical skills of area nurses. The partners moved quickly through the design stage and, through the Workforce Investment Board, recruited 13 unemployed or under- employed nurses who began their three month training in June. The next class is expected to begin next January, benefitting from a careful vetting of the course work and nurses’ feedback. Both ESD ($50,000) and DOL ($30,000) participated in this important STEM skills training program. 8 LIFT Training: Creating an educational pipeline from K-12 to the STEM workforce through BOCES and upgrading the skills of incumbent workers, this initiative is focusing on an important new high-tech opportunity that cross-cuts several research and manufacturing sectors – compos- ites. The initiative, supported by a $136,000 Regional Council grant, is linked with the develop- ment of the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technology Innovation Center in Plainview. AMMTIC will boost the capabilities of local manufacturers by providing small and mid-size com- panies access to prototype equipment and design tools. LIFT has hastened its development of the training program by leveraging an existing $15 million state grant.
Farmingdale STEM: The STEM Diversity Roundtable and Center is focusing on minori- ties and others under-represented in the workforce, aiming to inspire their interest in STEM stud- ies and the career possibilities they open. State funding of $100,000 has enabled the Center to expand its Summer Academy, which builds upon Farmingdale State College’s Science Technology Program for middle and high school students to expose students from disadvantaged districts to aviation, robotics, and health technologies. The Center has also recruited high school students for its new Certified Health Record Specialist Program, in collaboration with Farmingdale’s Long Island Educational Opportunity Center, for graduating high school students who have not been accepted to college.
Long Island WIB: Initially targeting the health care sector, this initiative is upgrading the IT skills of unemployed workers in sectors where a gap exists between the available workforce and the needs of industry. Induced by a $427,535 state Regional Council grant, the Town of Hempstead already has met with local employers and the new Hofstra University Medical School to design the curriculum. The initiative’s first course will run from August to next February. The initiative also has set up a referral system for the three local Long Island WIBs and the five One-Stop Centers. The next phase will involve paralegal training through the Hofstra Law and Business Schools.
NYIT’s ETIC: New York Institute of Technology is using the $400,000 grant to enhance its Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Center, renovating a 5,300 square foot facility that will house three laboratories in the critical areas of health analytics and bioengineering, IT and cyber security, and energy and green technologies. The center’s industry-academic outreach effort will provide opportunities for promising students from disadvantaged districts to work with busi- nesses on real-world problems. NYIT is now finalizing ETIC planning and design documents, and hiring four faculty members and one technician to run research activities. Planning has also begun on K-12 outreach.
Long Island STEM HUB: A project of Brookhaven National Laboratory and North Shore-LIJ, the STEM HUB is preparing students for the workforce of the future. By promoting di- rect dialogue between industry and academia, the HUB also is developing educational pipelines – including internships – that close skill gaps quickly. The LIREDC’s planning process and $320,000 in ESD funding accelerated the HUB’s development and leveraged a $45,000 grant from a local foundation. Stakeholders were engaged, including more than 250 leaders from industry, education and government at the HUB’s launch in December 2011. The project has also recruited leaders for eight Regional Industry Councils that have eliminated long-standing barriers between industry and education.
9 Adding to Our Achievements ROUND TWO PRIORITY PROJECTS
As important as the first year priority capital projects were to creating jobs, as well as generating enthusi- asm and confidence in the LIREDC and the broad coalition of Long Islanders working with it, we believe the second round is even more important. The Regional Council has endorsed projects totaling over $30 million in state investment. Several of the first year projects are proposed for additional funding, signal- ing a continued commitment to the progress, principles and promise they embody. The remaining projects are expected to lift the trajectory of transformation that we are seeking and power the region closer to the vision for our economy and communities that Gov. Cuomo asked us to set forth in our five-year plan. These new proposals show that the LIREDC is on the job, in for the long haul and making a difference. Overall, the sixteen (16) second round priority projects would create 7,763 construction jobs, 547 perma- nent jobs, retain 2,602 existing jobs, leverage $1B in private and other investment and move us decisively closer to meeting dozens of specific strategies. What follows is a summary of the second round priority capital projects; a pull-out section after this overview provides project-specific information on investment, leveraging and jobs created. Greater details regarding each project can be found in Appendix A.
Investments in an Innovation Economy
• Smart Grid 3 – Phase II: Brookhaven National Laboratory is clearly among Long Island’s most important research assets. For over 60 years BNL has combined a passion for discovery with glob- ally recognized research in physics, chemistry, energy, neurosciences and biology. BNL boasts seven Nobel Prize winners among a staff of over 3,000 scientists and over 4,000 annual visiting researchers. As a U.S. Department of Energy Laboratory, it must compete for research and investment with many lower cost U.S. DOE locations. NYS has made important long-term investments at BNL and these should continue. The success at BNL is evidenced by the soon to be completed National Synchrotron Light Source. A nearly one billion dollar federal investment to create the world’s most advanced light source, NSLS will attract research and investment from throughout the world. Now BNL can make simi- lar strides in advanced energy and smart grid technology. Smart Grid 3 – Phase II moves beyond design and demonstration phases to advance a cutting-edge initiative that will develop the energy transmission technologies of the future with statewide collaboration and implications and establish the region as a center for monetizing energy research.
• Broad Hollow Science Park: An expansion of the vibrant but “at capacity” Broad Hollow Science Park at Farmingdale State for high-tech start-up companies with the potential to incubate and accelerate the possibilities of commercializing scientific discovery on Long Island. The research park situated on the Farmingdale State College campus is located on Long Island’s Route 110 corridor and is flanked by many of the region’s fortune 500 companies. That preeminent location telegraphs an im- portant message about the importance of biotechnology to this region. Broad Hollow Science Park played a critical role in nurturing and retaining Long Island’s largest bio technology company and the opportunity to create a third bioscience building in the park should now be seized. Closely aligned with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, which for decades has spun off many successful life science companies, BHSP is a critical partner in providing these nascent companies with accessible and flexible world-class bioscience space. An expansion at Broad Hollow will provide that needed space and create new learn- ing, internship and mentoring opportunities for students at Farmingdale State College. 10 • Winthrop University Hospital Research Institute: A 95,000 s.f. medical research center focused on diabetes research and treatment that will enhance this well-regarded hospital and anchor a transformational transit-oriented redevelopment at the Nassau County Seat in Mineola. The facility will employ highly skilled medical researchers with average wages exceeding $100,000. A visionary project to exploit Long Island’s biotechnology assets located adjacent to an intermodal trans- portation center – a powerful combination.
• Stony Brook Center for Biomedicine: This research facility with bio technology incuba- tor space will be the third building at Stony Brook University’s Research and Development Park. This facility will exploit the Park’s unique synergy of biomedical, engineering and biotechnology University resources such as the fully occupied and successful Long Island High Technology Incubator and New York State Center for Advanced Technology in Medical Biotechnology. The biomedicine facility will propel the translation of discoveries and inventions emerging from Long Island’s established and emerg- ing biomedical research institutions to the marketplace. The University will work on a multi-regional basis with Rockland County’s proposed Innovation Accelerator for bio-pharma companies proposed at a former Pfizer plant in Pearl River.
• Business Investments: The cumulative impact of nine key business development projects in identified critical sectors of the Long Island economy will retain and generate jobs and income for Long Island households and support the state, county and local economies. Incorporating innovative agricul- tural business initiatives, transportation, IT and electronics enterprises, the overall impact of these small and mid size business growth projects will continue to transform the Long Island economy and enhance its evolving diversification.
Investments in Rebuilding LI Communities “Smartly”
• Ronkonkoma-MacArthur HUB: Two project components advancing an extraordinary col- laboration between two towns to boost a major transportation and commercial corridor. The Town of Brookhaven will construct a sewage collection system for the Ronkonkoma HUB transit-oriented devel- opment to be undertaken by a master developer. The Town of Islip will construct a four lane access road connecting to a 60 acre undeveloped parcel at MacArthur Airport in Ronkonkoma intended to retain the FAA TRACON facility and 800 jobs on Long Island.
• Wyandanch Rising: A second year of funding to continue the momentum toward reviving Suf- folk County ’s poorest minority community. Project consists of construction of a pedestrian bridge at the LIRR station and other public works in order to increase utilization of public transit and enhance the attractiveness of the proposed mixed-use development in the hamlet. The project has long-term support from the Town of Babylon and Suffolk County and will transform the area into a vibrant, stable and sustainable downtown.
• Wincoram Commons: A model Smart Growth project that will revive a blighted and deterio- rated site in the Town of Brookhaven. Redevelopment will replace a vacant movie theatre with a mixed- use, transit oriented development. Funding will support infrastructure improvements including a sewer connection and expansion as well as wetland mitigation. Project integrates smart growth principles, pedestrian oriented design and vibrant community life is highly leveraged and is shovel ready. 11 • Nassau HUB: Identification of funds to begin infrastructure improvements to prepare for a “game- changing” mixed-use project at the county’s largest remaining developable site in the heart of Nassau County and proximate to NYC with the most transformational potential. The county’s vision for this site includes redevelopment of the Nassau Coliseum, creation of new sports venues and mixed uses to include a bio technology research facility. This 11 square mile site has the potential to create a vibrant public-private sector collaborative project to transform the county’s HUB creating thousands of con- struction and permanent jobs.
• Hempstead Village Renaissance: A continued commitment to repair the aging, deteriorated sewage system in a depressed community in the Village of Hempstead. Increased sewer capacity is an essential component of the transit oriented redevelopment of this distressed minority community and will eliminate blight, stimulate business activity and support a vibrant and growing economic local base while reinvigorating a critical regional transportation HUB.
• Meadows at Yaphank: Catalyzing a major, long-stalled development project that will provide affordable and market rate housing and retail services in eastern Brookhaven for the benefit of perma- nent and visiting researchers at Brookhaven National Lab, faculty of neighboring institutions and LI youth, lacking housing options particularly in the vicinity of major Suffolk employers. A NYS invest- ment in off-site road improvements and sanitary sewer improvements will enable this project to start construction on phase one.
• Brookhaven Rail Terminal: With an estimated 1% of Long Island goods moving by rail and a congested and overburdened downstate road network it is time to support innovative rail solutions for the region. Expanding access to East End markets and reducing pollution and traffic congestion by boost- ing rail capacity and adding advanced storage facilities at a major new and already expanding high-tech freight HUB is the objective. The Brookhaven Rail Terminal working with regional leaders has shown it can help food production companies by bringing raw materials to the region by rail. It is our goal to have more industry sectors evaluate rail to reduce delivery costs and take trucks off our roads. The Regional Council believes continued investment in this facility can result in new and innovative solutions to sup- port our important manufacturing companies.
• Sheltair at Republic Airport: New infrastructure as well as critical upgrades and expanded facilities provided by the leasee, fixed based operator, that will boost the appeal and job-creating ability at one of the region’s major general aviation airports and address demand for industrial, warehouse and distribution facilities proximate to the airport. Aviation on Long Island is not only our proud heritage but a significant job generator. High wage positions in aviation related businesses on the airport and the critically important secondary jobs related to this investment are measurable and important. A major in- vestment to improve aviation amenities at Republic Airport is impactful to the thousands of business ex- ecutives that visit Long Island and to the many executives who maintain corporate aircraft at the facility.
12 Investments in our Natural Assets
• Montauk Commercial Fisheries Infrastructure Improvements: Two proposals to improve docking and processing facilities at separate locations in Montauk, the state’s largest fishing port, to keep the existing fleet from seeking services in other states and to induce other fleets to bring their business to our state. The lack of suitable dockside infrastructure clearly threatens the livelihood of hundreds of Long Island fisherman and precludes our continued expansion of the fishing industry. The project is closely aligned with our vision to enhance our fisheries and some of the increased catch may find its way to profitable new markets via the Agri-Park facility funded in Round One.
Investments in our Workforce
• STEM Education: Expanding a first year Regional Council strategy to six additional Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (“STEM”) initiatives to create synergies between education- al institutions and business in boosting the number of potential workers with crucial skills in science, technology, engineering and math.
Hofstra University 21st Century STEM: Hofstra University, an economic engine for the Village of Hempstead, established a School of Engineering and Applied Science in 2012. The University will expand its engineering programs and proposes establishment of an Advanced Manufacturing and Industrial Robotics Laboratory to create the future engineers for Long Island’s advanced manufacturing companies. The university also hopes to build a Large Scale Information Systems Laboratory to allow students to learn systems development and information technology in an integrated manner. This IT laboratory will allow the university to create new undergraduate and graduate programs in Health-Care informatics, Scientific Computing and Financial Engineering.
Adelphi University’s Nexus building: Adelphi University, Garden City, plans to con- struct a 94,000 s.f. home to the School of Nursing and Center for Health Innovation to become the HUB for academic programs and research in the areas of public health, health informatics and nutrition. Adelphi University cannot expand their important health care curriculum student enrollment without this new facility-thus impacting our region’s ability to provide critically needed healthcare professionals.
Molloy College Center for Nursing Excellence: This new center at Molloy’s Rock- ville Centre campus will consolidate many existing nursing programs into a single state-of-the-art Nursing Center. Currently those programs are offered in many buildings scattered across the cam- pus affecting their ability to be innovative in nursing education and attract and retain students. The new center will combine academic, educational and support functions into a single mod- ern facility enabling Molloy to expand efforts to address the shortage of nursing and healthcare workers.
13 Hofstra University/North Shore LIJ Medical Scholars Pipeline: A unique and innovative project to educate academically talented youth from underserved and minority com- munities in Nassau, Suffolk and Queens by providing them with the tools and mentorship needed to enter careers in healthcare. Hofstra University School of Medicine working with underserved schools selects promising young students and provides an intensive combination of classroom training, equipment, mentoring and important real life experiences in a hospital setting at North Shore LIJ.
Long Island Robotics: 15 years ago, the School and Business Partnership of Long Island clearly understood the need to drive our youth toward careers in science and engineering. How better to accomplish that goal than to make engineering and science fun - so the Partnership embarked on a small effort to teach students to build robots! That effort among a handful of school districts has now evolved into a competition that requires Long Island’s largest venue to accommo- date over 50 LI high school districts competing to build complex robotics under the direction of a network of academic, business and engineering volunteers. The student competition also builds en- gineering, teamwork, problem solving and computer programming skills. More importantly it cre- ates future engineers for Long Island. This effort has been identified as a visionary and successful initiative to create students who pursue college education with emphasis in science. The Regional Council supports expansion of the Long Island robotics competition to underserved communities throughout the region with a goal of impacting over 80 Long Island high school districts by 2016.
• EngINE Expansion: Extending a key Regional Council initiative that will reduce the shortage of engineers needed to create an innovation economy to two additional college campuses, Farmingdale State College and New York Institute of Technology.
Farmingdale State College EngINE Program: This SUNY campus’s School of Engineering Technology currently serves over 1,100 students preparing them for further studies and careers in engineering, science and technology. In order to meet the demand for new students, Farmingdale must make important investments in new professors, laboratory equipment and facil- ity upgrades. This project is a critically important element to enable Farmingdale State College to create a Sustainable Energy Technology Program, certainly an initiative strongly supported in our vision.
New York Institute of Technology’s EngINE Program: To meet the need for new engineering students NYIT must also hire personnel, add new laboratory equipment and upgrade teaching facilities within their School of Engineering and Computing Sciences. These upgrades include a rapid prototyping lab and a renewable energy telemetry laboratory. STEM Education: Expanding a first year Regional Council strategy to six additional Science, Technol- ogy, Engineering and Mathematics (“STEM”) initiatives to create synergies between educational institutions and business in boosting the number of potential workers with crucial skill in science, technology, engineering and math.
14 Sites of Regional Significance
In the 2011 Regional Council Strategic Plan, several “Projects of Regional Significance” were highlighted. In the 2012 report, a modified list of key Sites is being offered that, if developed, have the potential to be transformative for the region, creating numerous construction and permanent jobs while advancing the regional vision and strategies far into the future. Spanning Long Island from west to east they include: Elmont-Belmont Racetrack area Glen Cove Waterfront Nassau HUB in Uniondale Cerro Wire in Syosset Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant site EPCAL Property in Calverton
Special Statewide Initiative for Inter-regional Cooperation
The Long Island Regional Council is proposing a collaborative, innovative project -- the High Perfor- mance Computing Consortium. This evolving initiative involves the following regions: Long Island Region (Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Lab); New York City Region (Mount Sinai Medical Center); Western New York Region (University of Buffalo); Capital Region (Rensselaer Poly- technic Institute); Mid-Hudson Region (Marist College). Computer modeling and simulation is the key technology to utilizing and analyzing the explosion of data in fields such as material sciences, semicon- ductors, digital manufacturing, drug discovery and development, genomics and proteomics, new energy sources, smart energy networks and financial marketing. Regions that move early to create the digital and intellectual infrastructure to tackle this challenge during the next decade will have a strategic advantage in attracting new highly profitable businesses and investments across the wide range of sectors that will create and benefit from high performance computing. The goal of this multi-regional initiative is to elevate New York State to be a global center for innovation by making this critical investment in a collaborative network of leading science and technology institutions.

“Each Regional Council should build upon the public participation strategy it used when developing its initial plan, and continue to find creative ways to truly engage the public.”
The collaborative, inclusive spirit that contributed so strongly to the success of the Long Island Regional Planning Council’s first Five-Year Strategic Plan was nurtured by a time-consuming, hands-on push to engage as many people and organizations as possible. We were determined that everyone in this diverse re- gion knew they could have a hand in nothing less than a fresh, transformative way to shape their economic futures. And Long Islanders responded by the thousands. Most importantly, this new culture of enthusiasm and cooperation, which Lt. Gov. Robert Duffy extolled in July 2012 at yet another ribbon cutting for a Council-supported and funded project, has continued into the current year. And it has spread. We are proud of the enthusiastic and expert contributions by Council members and Working Group volunteers, who have devoted additional hours providing thoughtful and substantive input based on their unique perspectives. We are appreciative of the increasing number of newspaper, television and on-line reports of our work, which emphasizes its importance and keeps the statewide initiative in the public eye and gaining recogni- tion. And we are pleased by the outpouring of interest by businesses, not-for-profits, professional and civic groups and sometimes just curious individuals. Their responses – appearances at our meetings and invita- tions to present at theirs, as well as widespread willingness to publicize our plans and the opportunities they offer – are important indicators of our successful outreach. Long Islanders from every walk of life have taken ownership of the process -- of planning their future and ensuring that this future economy is realized. The public has been engaged and energized. See Appendix B for details.
This outcome was not by coincidence. To ensure that Long Islanders’ ideas and priorities were allowed to surface unobstructed through the process, the Council devoted even more time and energy to reaching out to as broad a spectrum of contributors as possible. This ambitious effort went beyond large public forums – which last year had been the primary public face of the council – to include dozens of personal appear- ances by council and work group members, state staffers and local officials who shared its vision. Some of these visits amounted to frank one-on-one exchanges about the work of the council and the resources avail- able to Long Islanders. Some allowed for the venting of frustrations from not having received a grant in Round One. Most allowed for the dissemination of useful and supportive tips on how to craft a potentially successful application. The council also made sure to appear, engage and be responsive in communities that don’t always feel heard, especially poor and minority neighborhoods, and more rural venues on the East End. From agriculture to the arts, from energy efficiency to tourism, the value of engagement across multiple venues and sectors quickly became apparent.
The bottom line: No business owner, no not-for-profit agency executive, no neighborhood or civic leader was deemed too small or insignificant to be ignored in fulfilling Gov. Cuomo’s mandate to “con- tinue the dialogue” with regional stakeholders and “build support, solicit feedback and new ideas, promote the project pipeline and leverage implementation assistance.” This personal touch, as well as the expert communications strategy executed with the help of state agency staff, has been effective. As measured by the quality and quantity of work by council and work group members, by the public’s attendance at open meetings, by the volume of email, website, Facebook and Twitter traffic, by the heavy coverage in regional
16 media – and ultimately the increased flow of excellent new projects -- the level of enthusiasm continued to grow throughout the year.
Clearly, the heart of our public participation process was our Working Groups. Nearly 200 people from all walks of Long Island life collectively devoted hundreds of hours to developing our strategies and analyz- ing everything from regional needs to specific proposals. The sum of their unique experiences, expertise and ties to their communities enabled the LIREDC to better understand the challenges of various busi- nesses and neighborhoods, enabling the Council to identify worthy projects that otherwise might have escaped attention. One example emerged from the due diligence of our Natural Assets Working Group, which realized that the smaller organizations of the less populated East End would have a better chance to compete for state funds if they collaborated. Working Group members not only reached out to appropriate community and business organizations, but actually recruited key leaders to join the Working Group. The result: The creation of two larger collaborative proposals that will advance tourism and farming in this critical part of our region. One, the East End Tourism Alliance, will expand on the current “Follow Your Heart” I Love NY campaign as well as ongoing efforts by tourism stakeholders to promote Long Island as a prime destination for agri-tourism and other natural attractions. The second, Farm for the Future, will build a multi-purpose barn at the Deborah Light Preserve in Amagansett to serve as a low-cost processing, storage and distribution center for existing and start-up farms.
We believe that our comprehensive public participation strategy helped ensure that Long Islanders took ownership of its council’s work. That they now view the Long Island Regional Council’s efforts, accom- plishments and ongoing endeavors to improve the Long Island economy as their work, the fruits of their labor and the road to their future.
17 How We Get There...
Updated Strategies
In our Strategic Economic Development Plan submitted in 2011, the Long Island Regional Economic Development Council and its Work Groups engaged in a comprehensive examination and assessment of our existing conditions and economic drivers. That part of last year’s plan, which included a detailed SWOT analysis, remains current as do the Key Strategies for Economic Development, highlighted earlier in this report.
In the section that follows are updated strategies for Innovation and Industry Clusters, Infrastructure, Natural Assets, and Workforce and Education. Adjustments have been made to some of the 2011 strate- gies after rigorous review by the Work Groups, an active public participation process, and discussion with a wide group of stakeholders.
Although the concept of SEQRA reform warrants pursuit by New York State, the specific recommenda- tion made by the Long Island Regional Council that the state assume the lead agency role for projects of regional significance has been withdrawn. Village officials feared that large-scale projects could be -im posed on them without sufficient local determination as to impacts and state staffing limitations were considered. After weighing the comments received requesting withdrawal of the proposal, the Council determined them compelling and withdraws the recommendation.
One addition to the Natural Assets strategies was inspired by the “Path Through History” statewide initia- tive established by Governor Cuomo in March 2012 to highlight the many historic assets that New York State has to offer both the residents of New York State and tourists from around the world. Long Island has a wealth of national treasures that should be preserved and promoted for heritage tourism.
To ensure that the region’s historic assets are given the attention they deserve, the Path Through History Work Group was convened by the LIREDC. Its early task was to identify heritage tourism assets. The fol- lowing list, indicative of Long Island’s rich history, was submitted to Governor Cuomo by the Path Through History Work Group: Cradle of Aviation Museum on Museum Row; Long Island Museum of American Art, History and Carriages; Montauk Point Lighthouse and Museum; Oheka Castle; Cold Spring Har- bor Laboratory/DNA Learning Center; Old Westbury Gardens; Nassau County Museum of Art; Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park and Coe Hall; Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park; Sagamore Hill National Historic Site; William Floyd Estate; Walt Whitman Birthplace State Historic Site; Sag Harbor Whaling and Historical Museum; Long Island Maritime Museum; and Old Bethpage Village Restoration.
Historic sites on Long Island are regional and national treasures. Their identification, maintenance and marketing as historic tourism assets are recommended to highlight Long Island’s profound influence on American history. Improving the condition of these sites and facilities will draw tourists to the many Long Island historic assets such as the birth place of the great American poet Walt Whitman, the Theodore Roosevelt Mansion, and Oheka Castle.
18 Given Long Island’s proximity to New York City, there is great potential to grow the economy by attract- ing some of its millions of tourists to local beaches, museums, and mansions while growing the Long Island economy in the process. There are many ways to accomplish this including signage, the creation of an interactive website, and distribution of brochures at hotels in the tri-state area. The Governor’s recently announced $100,000 in funding will enable the Council to advance this new strategy.
But promoting business aside, Long Island’s many historic sites should be preserved because of their priceless value to the region. Each of the identified sites has an important story to tell and it is our respon- sibility to ensure that future generations of Long Islanders and visitors can enjoy and learn from them as we have.
19 Innovation and Industry Clusters Strategies
Many of the strategies necessary to promote innovation also are synchronous with the core strategies presented by other working groups, particularly the development of a regional workforce with greater capabilities in the STEM professions. It’s important that such strategies are promoted collaboratively, rather than in traditional policy “silos,” in order to leverage funding at a time of scarcer resources.
To achieve the economic potential of key industries such as advanced manufacturing, we must expand current regional assets that can make Long Island a global leader in these clusters. In particular, we should:
• Enhance current collaborative partnerships among research facilities, university and high-tech businesses. Many of these collaborations are already proven models, and efforts like Accelerate Long Is- land offer enormous potential to scale up commercialization of new technologies and development of new enterprises.
• Encourage improvements in manufacturing productivity. “Make it in NY”, a strategy to bring manufacturing back to NYS from off-shore competitors, would be enhanced by reactivation of Empire State Development’s very impactful Industrial Effectiveness Program. This successful economic develop- ment tool provides matching state grants to companies to improve manufacturing productivity. On Long Island the impact is leveraged by a LIPA five-year electric rate discount which enhances cash flow as com- panies implement more effective production processes.
• Support advanced technology assistance programs for manufacturers of high-value added prod- ucts that may be exported to markets off Long Island, across the nation and around the world. There are strong external markets for advanced materials, such as biomedical, electrical and electronic components, fabricated metal and machinery (including computer and transportation machinery), software and infor- mation technology products. Institutions such as the Morrelly Homeland Security Center and the Strategic Partnership for Industrial Resurgence at Stony Brook have already assisted numerous companies and helped them create thousands of jobs, however increased collaborations between the industry and institu- tional organizations will improve service delivery and the augment the impact of traded industries on the economy of Long Island.
• Increase education and training in “lean and green” manufacturing processes. Long Island shouldn’t follow the lead of low-paying states such as Mississippi and South Carolina, the cost of living of which is so much lower. To remain competitive in national and global markets, Long Island manufactur- ers as a group need to follow the example of their highly successful peers, like D’Addario & Company, which dominates the global market for music accessories, and dramatically increase their productivity. Implementation of LEAN, ISO9000 and higher level training programs result in a quantifiable benefit to manufacturers and are to be encouraged.
• Encourage young entrepreneurs, especially young technology experts, to learn marketing, finance and other business skills. As shown in the history of Silicon Valley in California and the Research Triangle in North Carolina, these activities must be supported by regional and state political leaders over time, well beyond any individual’s term of office. Initiatives that formalize such activities designed to step up the intensity and participation in such support systems are critical to drawing entrepreneurs and their employees to Long Island.
20 • Substantially increase STEM education, from K-12 to higher education, particularly initiatives such as the Long Island Community STEM program, created to bring STEM education and encourage- ment to schools in Long Island’s distressed areas. The STEM focus should be wide and deep, including multiple aspects and components in order to be impactful over a multi-year period. Education, technology training, and professional training components are all critical and require a multi-faceted approach with both quantitative and qualitative results expected.
• Use the state’s Excelsior tax credit program to make Long Island more competitive by offsetting some of its chronic high costs and leveraging private investment. EJP is an effective tool for young com- panies in the software development, IT, biotech, and high tech fields as well as for manufacturers such as pharmaceuticals, aerospace and others with continued, predictable growth.
Infrastructure Strategies
To develop the infrastructure essential to Long Island’s growth for the next generation, we need to imple- ment four broad and comprehensive strategies:
1. Revitalize downtowns and commercial centers including focus on live/work/plan environments of which the arts are an integral part; 2. Repair and upgrade aging infrastructure; 3. Create new housing opportuni- ties; 4. Promote new government policies to foster economic growth.
1. Revitalize Downtowns, Blighted Areas and Commercial Centers
Long Island should create downtowns that are centers of economic activity and provide the community with a pedestrian-oriented sense of place—one where people, especially the young, will want to invest themselves. As Governor Cuomo has suggested, these communities should include vibrant arts and other high quality entertainment facilities and organizations that bring in business, help employers attract em- ployees by improving the quality of life, and contribute to a more broadly educated populace. Community participation in planning efforts is a key element in successful downtown revitalization. Governmental leadership in driving the revitalization process and working with community stakeholders and sharehold- ers alike to build consensus for more flexible land-use and other policies is critical.
Specific strategies for revitalizing downtowns and commercial centers include: • Provide incentives to stimulate the redevelopment of vacant, abandoned, blighted properties. • Support walkable/bikable redevelopment projects that incorporate traffic calming elements. • Plan for transit-oriented development and downtown revitalization, particularly near LIRR stations and new transit centers. • Encourage government, not-for-profit and private investment in arts facilities and organizations. • Zone for mixed-use, higher density development. • Orient buildings towards the street; improve facades and streetscapes. • Improve wastewater treatment capacity and existing infrastructure. • Construct structured parking facilities and shared parking.
21 • Use public spaces like plazas to create a “Main Street” feel. • Coordinate with law enforcement to improve local safety, security and quality of life, while maximizing access to public spaces for a broad range of users. • Encourage green construction. • Encourage the growth and prosperity of small businesses in downtowns, which will increase living-wage job opportunities. • Attract high-tech start-ups to downtowns to contribute to the economic diversity and vibrancy.
2. Repair and Upgrade Aging Infrastructure
Upgrading our wide-ranging infrastructure to ensure economic growth requires a multi-faceted strategy to improve our sewer systems, our outdated transportation and transit systems, and underutilized local airports.
• Develop and repair sewer infrastructure . Upgrade and expand regional wastewater treatment facilities to meet future capacity and improve treatment and energy efficiency. Priority should be given to sewer infrastruc- ture that will stimulate redevelopment projects; transit-oriented developments; revitalize downtowns and economically distressed communities. The sewer infrastructure should re- sult in the creation of jobs and the construction of affordable and mixed-use housing. When sewers are constructed, efforts should be made to utilize sustainable, low energy usage, and lower cost alternatives. . Expand Sewer Infrastructure in Suffolk County. In order for the County to grow in a sustainable way, examples of where sewer infrastructure is needed include: the Ronkonk- oma HUB, Mastic/Shirley Peninsula, Coram, Southwest Sewer District (West Islip, North Babylon, West Babylon, Wyandanch, and Deer Park, Bergen Point Sewage Treatment Plant Outfall Pipe), District 6 (Smithtown/Kings Park downtowns), District 1 (Port Jefferson), Sag Harbor Sewer District, Patchogue Sewer District, Bellport, Sayville, Middle Island, Yaphank, Southampton, Mattituck, Center Moriches, Flanders/Riverside, Calverton and downtown Riverhead. . Upgrade Sewer Infrastructure in Nassau County. Nassau County’s sewage treatment plants are in need of serious capital repairs in order to continue to meet the needs of com- munities. One of the most important capital expenditures is the construction of an ocean outfall pipe at Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant, which will contribute to the health of Reynolds Channel and the Great South Bay. Nassau’s sewer lines are decades old and their condition hinders redevelopment in downtowns. If sewer lines in Nassau’s downtowns are repaired and upgraded to increase capacity, they will support downtown revitalization and enhanced quality of life.
• Connect Long Island’s Transit System to Stimulate Economic Growth Long Island should connect, rebuild and expand its transportation infrastructure to improve job access, revitalize downtowns, encourage trade, and attract and retain dynamic regional busi- nesses and a highly skilled workforce. Improved transportation can spur advanced technology manufacturing, access to jobs, returning blighted, underutilized properties to the tax rolls, and
22 alleviating development pressure on open space. By connecting Long Island, we can build on initiatives like Accelerate Long Island and other projects underway to stimulate the region’s economy. In addition, encouraging transit use will reduce the use of automobiles, minimize the impact of congestion and air pollution in the short-run, and of greenhouse gas emissions in the long run. Freight rail, Bus Rapid Transit and Motorcoach opportunities should be supported toward this end.
• Build an LIRR second track from Farmingdale to Ronkonkoma Construction of a full second track on the LIRR Main Line between Farmingdale and Ronkonk- oma will be a tremendous advantage for revitalization efforts around the future Republic HUB, Wyandanch Rising, and the Ronkonkoma HUB. It will also greatly improve the access and reliability of connections to MacArthur Airport and can expand the role of the Ronkonkoma LIRR station as an airport gateway, further stimulating economic development in the area. Im- provements would include associated traction power infrastructure, including third rail; a new south platform at Wyandanch Station; new north and south platforms and station building at the Pinelawn station; signal upgrades/modifications as required; retaining walls and earth work; right of way clearing as necessary; new switches / crossovers / interlocking; modified grade crossings to accommodate second track; and drainage improvements (i.e culverts, ditches), as required.
• Construct a new Republic LIRR Station The LIRR envisions constructing a new Republic HUB Station after the double track is con- structed to serve the Route 110 corridor in western Suffolk County. The Route 110 Corridor is the largest employment center in Suffolk County, with almost 20 percent of Suffolk County’s workforce employed in this area. A new Republic Station would play a key role in increasing rail access to Long Island MacArthur Airport. The reopening of this station would also play a critical role in supporting the proposed Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service on Route 110; which would establish the first north-south mass transit connection on Long Island.
• Devise LIRR Parking Solutions In order to accommodate future transit-oriented developments around LIRR stations, new park- ing structures will be needed to unencumber land currently occupied by surface parking. The ideal solution is to establish intermodal facilities at selected LIRR stations, providing commuter parking and sheltered bus bays adjacent to the train station. Many LIRR stations have connect- ing bus service, which frequently is challenging and even dangerous to access because of busy nearby roadways and local traffic patterns. An intermodal facility is a central location where local residents, employees, and visitors can conveniently access and/or transfer between several different modes of transportation. Intermodal facilities will serve communities by providing more travel opportunities and encouraging economic development in downtown districts.
• Generate new freight opportunities Long Island needs to improve the physical infrastructure of the transportation system for freight- related transport between shipping and receiving points. An example is the Brookhaven Rail Terminal in Yaphank, which imports and exports commodities such as asphalt and flour, taking trucks of the road and reducing costs for local businesses. Strategies to increase freight access and options include:
23 . Rail freight intermodal terminals to link the nation’s rail freight system and relieve truck congestion. . Freight Villages, a fusion of land use and transportation planning to cluster freight dependent companies around a concentration of shared transportation infrastructure. Freight villages can generate an entirely new market for small- and mid-sized businesses to reduce transportation costs and relieve truck congestion on regional and local road- ways, and improve air quality. . Climate-controlled refrigeration warehouses should be built at freight facilities to allow more diverse commodities to be shipped to Long Island at a reduced cost. This will expand Long Island’s ability to increase economic activity through new imports and exports. . Bridges in the New York metropolitan area need to be upgraded to increase height and weight limits.
• Tap into the Economic Potential at Long Island’s Airports . Develop the underdeveloped land at Long Island’s airports for an FAA facility to retain jobs on LI and other industrial and office uses. . Tie Long Island’s airports to regionally significant projects to heighten economic potential. . Encourage aviation-related development on or near Long Island airports. . Brand, market, and promote Long Island’s airports. . Attract more commercial carriers to Long Island MacArthur Airport and connect the north side of the airport to the Ronkonkoma Rail Road Station. . Build a sewage treatment plant to serve the Ronkonkoma HUB to expand Long Island MacArthur Airport and connect it to the Ronkonkoma HUB transit-oriented development.
3. Create New Housing Opportunities
Long Island needs to create new housing opportunities to keep young people and empty nesters on Long Island, provide more housing options, and retain our professionals. The majority of multi-family hous- ing on Long Island is tax-positive to local governments, including school districts, and contributes to the economic vibrancy of communities. Government needs to work with non-profit organizations, for-profit home builders, and communities to dispel the myth that affordable housing (especially affordable rentals) negatively impacts communities and places an additional cost burden on school districts. Affordable hous- ing projects are economic engines in the own right, leveraging public and private dollars.
• Create new, affordable rental housing for young people, families and empty-nesters at all income ranges. • Develop for-sale homes affordable to households with varying income levels (below 80% of AMI; below 100% of AMI; up to 120% of AMI). • Prioritize construction of affordable housing near transit-oriented developments, downtowns, commercial centers and in locations in need of revitalization or blight removal. • Site and affirmatively market new housing to provide access to new living-wage jobs and reduce racial segregation.
24 • Encourage multifamily housing that is mixed-use with commercial and retail on the ground floor. • Support affordability tools such as land trusts and limited equity cooperatives that preserve affordability in the long term. • Provide a range of housing opportunities, ranging from studios to larger (e.g., 3-bedroom) units. • Site and construct multifamily rental buildings in scale with the surrounding community. • Require energy conservation, and solar where feasible, in all new affordable housing. • Link clean energy, environmental and housing funding sources in order to provide for the initial increase in design/construction costs needed to incorporate solar and other “green building” elements in multi-unit affordable buildings. • Build housing with high-quality architectural design.
• Maintain and support existing housing programs Beyond developing new housing, there are many other strategies currently used by Community Development Corporation of Long Island, the Long Island Housing Partnership, the Kimmel Housing Foundation, and other non-profits and local municipalities. They address critical hous- ing and related social equity needs, and we believe need to be continued. . Opportunities for down payment assistance for first time buyers. . Pre-purchase homeownership education. . Grants and loans to homeowners needing health and safety repairs to their dwelling, as well as energy efficiency improvements. . Employer assisted housing, which helps employers recruit and retain workers in a high cost area and provides down payment and rehab assistance to homebuyers. . Siting and affirmatively marketing new housing to provide access to opportunities, such as quality education, and reduce racial segregation. . Foreclosure prevention services. . Handicapped accessibility. . Purchase, rehabilitation, and disposition of foreclosed houses that are blighting neighborhoods. . Transfer properties in tax default for the development of affordable housing. . Provide education and awareness about fair housing.
4. Promote New Government Policies to Foster Economic Growth
• Streamline approval process Governments should make efforts to “cut red tape” and increase transparency in the land use approval process. An example is the newly-launched Suffolk Unified Permit Portal, a multi- year effort to create an online process for development applications that provides transparency and accountability for land use across Suffolk’s 43 municipalities. Town Planning Departments should also consider reorganizing their departments or review processes to give priority to regionally significant and transformative projects.
25 • Develop innovative new zoning codes In order to facilitate and accommodate redevelopment of downtowns, large mixed-use region- ally significant projects, transit-oriented developments, and blighted areas, governments should develop new zoning codes such as form-based zoning or planned development districts that encourage redevelopment of community centers. Innovative zoning codes should encourage the efficient use of land, be a catalyst for revitalization, and foster a sense of place.
• Update zoning codes to: . Discourage segregated zoning and strip malls. . Create land use and street design guidelines to promote walking and cycling. . Ensure that guidelines for the improvement of existing streets and the development of new streets encourage multi-modal road networks. . Encourage diverse housing types and demographics.
• Foster inter-municipal cooperation Many regionally significant projects cross municipal boundaries. If these projects are to suc- ceed, municipalities should think regionally from the early stages. Inter-municipal cooperation is critical to securing funding for projects and ensuring a smooth approval process.
• Foster Public-Private Partnerships Government, the community, and the private sector must work together to redevelop our infra- structure and revitalize our downtowns. Many governments are now moving towards “Master Developer” arrangements where government changes the zoning through a community-based planning process and the master developer provides the investment for the agreed-upon rede- velopment.
• Support Industrial Development Agencies Local IDAs are the most efficient and effective economic development program available to local governments. They are often self-sufficient and the average statewide cost per job cre- ated for projects they assist is $2,400. The role of IDAs in helping to create and maintain jobs in their communities is much greater than just serving as a conduit financing vehicle for the project. IDAs are the lead economic development agency of a county, town, or city, and serve as the nexus between the public and private sectors for economic development activities. IDAs have played and should continue to play a central role in the development of our economy, while engaging with local governments and encouraging the participation of community stakeholders.
26 Natural Assets Strategies
Three main strategies and components to maximize the economic benefits as well as preserve Long Is- land’s extraordinary natural assets have been identified: Improving sustainable agriculture enterprises; improving the economic potential and employment opportunities of sustainable marine fisheries; and en- hancing ecotourism and cultural tourism activities.
• Improve Sustainable Agriculture Enterprises In recent years, there has been a growing interest world-wide in sustainable agriculture and the concomi- tant locavore movement. Long Island is uniquely poised to become an international leader in this area through the development of key projects. There is tremendous expertise on the East End of the island with many consumers interested in sustainable and local food in the New York Metro region and beyond. There are a number of strategies that can improve the situation for those interested or engaged in agricultural development:
• Enhance environmental stewardship on the Island in order to reduce the impacts of agricultural pesticide and fertilizer application on ground and surface waters. The adoption of best manage- ment practices by farmers will help this effort. • Market Long Island agriculture as high-quality in order to enhance wholesale demand, retail traffic and visits to local farms and wineries. • Build a strong agricultural processing center, that would: 1) allow new farmers to lease small parcels of land for production; 2) provide distribution, cooling, and storage of produce; 3) allow meat processing; 4) provide educational and outreach programs on best management strategies; and 5) provide a mobile farmers market to ship “grown on Long Island” food to local farmers markets. • Develop tools and programs that keep farmland affordable, in the face of intense development pressure, escalating real estate values, a decline in food production farming, and a scarcity of new and startup farmers. Farmers, now and in the future, face complicated issues of farmland accessibility, affordability, and sustainability. These issues threaten the viability of the agricul- tural industry in general and the security of our food supply systems on Long Island. Economic trends over the past 20 years have had a negative impact on the availability of agricultural land and the business of farming on Long Island, making it increasingly more difficult for new and established farmers. We must reverse this trend if we hope to maintain vitality within the sector. • Support the development of an indemnity program to address farmer reluctance to adopt sustainable practices due to real/perceived potential property and financial loss. This program should provide unique performance guarantees that allow farmers to try best management practices on their own land, observe performances over time in side-by-side comparisons, and evaluate economic impact without risk to income due to yield loss. The ultimate goal is to leverage experience of participating farms to encourage board adoption of the best management practices.
27 • Support the development of Adapt-N programs for crops grown on Long Island. Currently the program is only available for field corm. Adapt-N is a new web-based decision support tool, linked to a computer model and high resolution climate data that recommends how much N fer- tilizer to apply to corn on a particular field in a particular year. This program would improve the efficiency of nitrogen use and minimize the impact of nitrogen on ground and surface waters.
• Provide cost sharing incentives to farmers to assist them in the purchase of high tech equipment, provide shared spaces for processing and storage, and other innovative ideas which maximize the efficiency of pesticide and fertilizer use and minimizes the impact to groundwater and surface waters.
• Improve the Economic Potential and Employment Opportunities of Fisheries and Aquaculture
While fisheries in New York support thousands of jobs, there are several strategies that can improve fishery production.
• Continue to improve water quality on the Island. In recent years, there have been tremendous strides in water quality improvement and these must continue. Several strategies have been highlighted in this document (such as sewer improvements). However, other strategies include the development of novel onsite wastewater treatment technologies and small cluster wastewa- ter treatment facilities.
• Expand some sectors of the fisheries industry, particularly in the development of bay scallop fisheries by producing greater number of production of greater numbers of scallops to be used for planting via private/public partnerships with local shellfisheries, collection of scallop larvae from natural populations via spat collectors, concentrated large scale plantings of scallops in Flanders Bay, which is currently under producing, and the creation of a private culture industry for bay scallops that would produce scallops on the half-shell for use in NYC restaurants.
• Develop and improve fisheries infrastructure on Long Island. Unfortunately, deteriorating conditions caused the relocation of some operations to move to other states. Thus, there is a need for a challenge grant initiative to provide funding support on a leverage basis, for land based industry projects through a competitive process that would address local infrastructure needs such as dock improvements, expanded and upgraded electric service, dredging, and improved facilities.
• Similar to, and perhaps in partnership with, the proposed agricultural marketing initiative above, market Long Island seafood as a quality product produced by local fishermen and wom- en. In fact, Long Island should be the marketed as the gold standard in conservation: good for the fish, the fishermen, and their communities.
28 • Enhancing Ecotourism and Cultural Tourism Activities
Ecotourism in Long Island could focus upon the region’s many parks, trails, and preserves. Particular opportunities are in ecotourism, agritourism, and cultural tourism:
• Improve and repair tourism infrastructure, particularly comfort stations, trails, trail maps/ descriptions, and online information (which should be coordinated and easily available). • Preserve and protect of natural landscapes is crucial to sustain the long-term success of ecotourism enterprises. • Protect and replenish beaches in order to be a draw for tourists. • Market Long Island as an agri- and ecotourism destination. Given our miles of beaches and accessible shorelines and parks, the tourism sector can be improved through marketing and outreach. • Preserve, restore, and protect historic, pre-historic and important cultural sites in order to promote cultural tourism as well as develop key sites that illustrate the prominent role Long Island has played in shaping the course of American history.
As noted above, protecting natural assets suggests that the region also should promote investments in clean energy, incentivize consistency among jurisdictions for zoning and land use regulations, and pro- mote sustainable growth including in-fill and mixed-use development, multi-modal transportation access, reduced energy use, investment in existing infrastructure, increased housing opportunities, and protection of natural resources.
Workforce and Education Strategies
To achieve a sustainable economy that fosters transformative community revitalization, we must system- atically invest in education and workforce development. All industry clusters rely upon the collaborative efforts of the workforce system, Pre-K-16 education, specialized training (including internships and ap- prenticeships), and advanced education to provide opportunities that support career pathways.
Youth, emerging workers, employed professionals, underemployed and transitional workers need resourc- es to maintain their knowledge and adapt their skills in a changing job market. At the same time, we must ensure job quality even for workers without extensive formal education or training, while supplying op- portunities for continuing education at multiple skill levels.
This will require strategies tailored to specific growth industries: general strategies for education and workforce development, and specific projects capable of achieving concrete outcomes (detailed later in Transformative Projects section of this report). But it is important to recognize as well that strong arts education, attractive facilities and programming are important to the quality of life in the region and for producing a well-rounded, sophisticated workforce.
29 Strategies for Growth Sectors These strategies are designed to ensure that our workforce meets the needs of key (and overlapping) in- dustry clusters in the region:
• Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) • Build and sustain interest in STEM disciplines among Pre-K-12 students • Increase college degree production in STEM disciplines (facilitated by streamlining curriculum approval – see implementation • Forge partnerships between industry, research institutes, business, government, schools and universities, non-profits, and organized labor to provide job pathways in STEM
• Advanced manufacturing / information technology • Strategize job creation by recognizing that advanced manufacturing and IT cross-cut other industry sectors, and that local production/IT enterprises reduce input costs and multiply growth • Achieve IT “literacy for all” that supports the workforce at various skill tiers • Identify and pursue emerging opportunities to ‘re-shore’ manufacturing jobs
• Healthcare/Life Sciences • Improve the skill sets of the advanced workforce across the health care professions, including registered nurses, medical technologists, and physician’s assistants • Provide training and credentialing for home health and nurse’s aides to meet the needs of the region’s rapidly aging population
• Green technologies • Educate and re-train workers to integrate green technologies into new construction and to support the development of green retrofitting enterprises • Support the shift to local renewable energy sources, including smart grid for the region, and develop education and training programs to meet new workforce needs
General Strategies These strategies will be integrated into the specific strategies above, while also guiding economic develop- ment outside key sectors to ensure growth benefits to all Long Islanders: • Continue to engage a range of K-12 stakeholders – businesses, colleges, teachers, parents, and principals – in discussions about skill creation, educational/career pathways, and emerging growth sectors • Provide support services, incubators, and skills development for new businesses in all communities, including disadvantaged, building networks that link them with large and fast-growing businesses • Create partnerships between sectors to improve educational outcomes, close skills gaps, mitigate funding disparities, and foster cooperation between school districts • Encourage collaborative relationships among property owners, businesses, school districts and not- for-profits to develop resources to provide quality, affordable childhood education, particularly on-site daycare and training for service providers • Develop in-service training or professional development opportunities for high school guidance/career counselors, along with a mix of paid internships and registered apprenticeships that offer opportunities for skill development before and after career choice • Promote arts organizations, artists and programs that focus on high-quality entertainment and education for a broad spectrum of the population, especially students and the economically disadvantaged who often don’t have access to a wide variety of cultural options. 30 Implementation Plan and Progress Report: ROUND ONE
Long Island was extremely fortunate to be named as one of the Best Plan Awardees in the 2011 Round One of funding through the Regional Councils, providing funding for 62 projects. Funds were awarded for 13 transformative projects based on 20 CFAs, 9 Excelsior projects, and 33 additional CFAs. All projects are moving forward in the implementation phase. The Long Island Regional Council is committed, with the assistance of all the state agencies involved, to track progress toward our goals, since it is through these projects that the region is advancing its strategies and vision for the future. It was essential that we create a system for tracking and reporting on key indicators of performance for each and every contract. ESD Regional Office staff created a Project Implementation Plan database and reporting system. Round One performance is reported by CFA # in Appendix D.
In addition to this effort locally, the Long Island region got a boost from the Governor’s State Agency Resource Team- dubbed “SART”. The SART effort is unprecedented in its scope and goal of quickly reacting to local needs. This program is ongoing and critical to our success because the performance moni- toring system evaluates obstacles and develops solutions to move projects forward. SART has resulted in productive collaboration, better understanding of other agency’s programs and policies, an eagerness to work cooperatively on common goals, and is a valuable resource to the Regional Council.
Key indicators for the Long Island project reporting include jobs created, capital expenditures, training completed, MWBE goals met and dollars expended, as well as an in-depth narrative on project description, progress to date and future plans/milestones.
It is also important to document the strategies that are being advanced through all funded projects. A sum- mary spreadsheet illustrates the specific strategies that the Council and Work Groups felt were critical and details which projects advance them. (Appendix C)
When selecting Round One transformative projects, the Council was deliberate in thinking boldly in order to reset the course of our trajectory by building a foundation for strong growth. The Council also believed, however, that these long term projects had to be complemented with projects that could produce more im- mediate results. A combination of innovative, long-term, visionary projects with short-term, job produc- ing, leveraged projects produced the right mix.
Projects which make investments in the Long Island workforce, EngINE and numerous STEM initiatives will add engineers and lead to more students seeking careers in the high tech and innovative sectors that is essential to growth of the Long Island economy. Continued support of such projects with investments in Round Two is expected. Transformative projects that will deliver results quickly, such as Accelerate Long Island, Amneal Pharma’s expansion, Cold Spring Harbor Lab’s Advanced Drug Testing Facility, and the Agri-Park and Bay Scallops projects are critical to achieving success in the region. Transformative projects like Smart Grid 3, the Ronkonkoma HUB, Wyandanch Rising, and the Village of Hempstead are long-term projects that will generate tens of thousands of jobs over the next five to ten years of implementation. These priority projects are recommended for additional funding in Round Two in order to continue the momen- tum toward long term success.
31 How We Know We’re Succeeding: Performance Measurement Plan
As important as the Process, Plan and Priorities were in Round One, the Performance against our Promises is the critical focus for our Council this year and for many years to come. Albeit a requirement for all Re- gional Economic Development Councils to document progress and areas for improvement, the LIREDC needs to know where our efforts are succeeding and where they fall short.
For the last four years, Long Island has been hurting economically; the pain of the Great Recession, even in recovery, has left the region uncharacteristically lagging behind most other regions in the state. But even before this epochal collapse, we had begun to lose our focus. Then, suddenly, we had an impetus for change. Last year’s intensely introspective planning process, initiated by Governor Cuomo, has helped us to understand our strengths and weakness in various sectors and what we need to do, collectively, to grow our economy for the benefit of all Long Island communities. Yet, without the willingness to subject our efforts to microscopic scrutiny, as we’ve done, we could not and cannot know whether we’ve chosen the right priorities. But moving the dial, so to speak, is another matter. In our first year in business, the Long Island Regional Council developed a Strategic Plan that included key regional strategies as well as a number of projects, large and small. We acknowledged that some of the most spectacular – the ones that would create thousands of permanent jobs and transform whole communities – would take years to fully be implemented. We also understood our responsibility – our obligation – to begin moving the dial of economic progress immediately. As a result, the LI Regional Council’s Performance Measurement Plan includes metrics that capture the more modest – but evident – improvements in job creation and other measures of economic health. At the same time, the PMP also includes data movements which are more reflective of milestones, including metrics – and the means for compiling data -- that will capture the more profound impact in later years. We are committed to capturing this data for five years or more for every round of funding the Long Island region is fortunate enough to receive. We believe the cumulative impact will move the dial over time.
Overall, the LIREDC recognizes the importance not only of “walking the walk” but of being conscious of our path. And that means continually assessing progress in achieving the desired outcomes articulated in our five year plan and its updates; acknowledging challenges that exist as we encourage implementa- tion of our regional strategies; and contending with unanticipated circumstances which may impede – or improve – progress. But, most importantly, collecting the data for our funded projects – keeping an eye on the state’s money – is task Number One.
Round One state-funded projects that the LIREDC is tracking and measuring include: • Thirteen transformative projects involving 20 recipients - ALL are in contract. • Nine Excelsior projects - ALL are in contract. • Eighteen DOL funded projects involving worker skills upgrade training and unemployed worker training – ALL are in contract. • Seven Homes and Community Renewal projects, four Parks projects, two Department of State projects and two NYSERDA projects – ALL are in contract.
32 The specific performance results that reflect approximately six months of economic activity reported by Round One recipients include:
New York State funds committed in contracts with recipients: $57,835,026
Actual non-state funds leveraged as of 6/30/12: $81,527,175
Total anticipated leveraging of private and/or federal funds $204,964,464 secured for Round One projects:
Permanent Jobs retained and created as of 6/30/12: 6,128
Number of people receiving training as of 6/30/12 pursuant to Round One Training Projects: 197
Total training expenditures as of 6/30/12: NYS funds $104,634 non-NYS funds $297,890
Number of people expected to receive training over the 5-year project duration: 827
Total training expenditures expected over the 5-year project duration: $1,135,248
Other longer term indicators to be tracked include: the number of housing units to be created; the number of new businesses created, funded or incubated; the number of sewage treatment plants upgraded or con- structed. These indicators of the region’s success are being tracked using a unique database and reports collected from recipients over the next five to ten years in order to measure both short and long-term impacts.

33 How We Know We’re Succeeding: Economic Impact Analysis
Analysis of the Economic Impact of Round I CFA Awards from the Governor’s Regional Economic Development Council for Long Island By Dr. Pearl M. Kamer, Chief Economist, Long Island Association, Inc.
In the following analysis, appropriate multipliers from the RIMS II input-output model of the Long Island economy were applied to Round I CFA awards from the Long Island Regional Economic Development Council. The Bureau of Economic Analysis of the U.S. Commerce Department developed this model. Three types of multipliers are available – for output, earnings and employment. The output multiplier shows how much Long Island’s output of goods and services, its gross metropolitan product, is likely to increase as a result of these awards. The earnings multiplier shows how much Long Island earnings are likely to increase as a result of these awards. The employment multiplier shows how many indirect Long Island jobs are likely to be created as a result of these awards. The transformative projects analyzed received $46.0 million in grants and tax credits during the first round of funding by the Long Island Regional Economic Development Council. Their total project budgets exceeded $452 million.

1 Multipliers from the RIMS II input-output model of the Long Island economy indicate that the first round awards to transformative projects could cause Long Island’s output of goods and services to increase by $92.5 million, including the original awards. This is equivalent to a net or secondary output increase of $46.5 million. Long Island earnings could increase by almost $29 million and an estimated 691 secondary or indirect jobs could be created just from Round I awards. Approximately 6,600 jobs could be created when the entire budgets allocated to these projects are expended.

A similar methodology was used for all other Long Island projects that received Round 1 funding, except for projects involving worker skills upgrading. These projects have been listed separately. Awards for non-transformative projects other than those involving worker skills upgrading totaled about $8.9 million. The aggregate budgets for these projects totaled about $47.8 million.
The findings show that $8.9 million in spending for the foregoing projects could cause Long Island’s gross output to increase by about $17.6 million, including the original expenditure. This is equivalent to a net output increase of about $8.7 million. Long Island earnings could increase by about $5.3 million. Some 127 indirect jobs could be generated by these awards. A total of 704 indirect jobs could be generated when the budgets allocated to these projects are expended.

Projects related to the upgrading of worker skills were considered separately because they generate jobs indirectly rather than directly. The aggregate first round CFA awards for these projects were about $1.3 million. Their aggregate project budgets were almost $1.5 million. The RIMS II input-output analysis shows that these project awards could increase Long Island’s gross output of goods and services by about $2.77 million. This would be equivalent to a net output increase of about $1.47 million. Long Island earnings could increase by about $898,600 and some 28 to 32 indirect jobs could be created.

4 37 Conclusions. According to the most recent data, Long Island’s 2010 Gross Metropolitan Product was almost $122.5 billion. This was equivalent to two-thirds of the combined output of New York’s upstate metropolitan areas.
The projects that received Round I state funding through the Governor’s Regional Economic Development Council for Long Island will contribute materially to Long Island’s Gross Metropolitan Product, its output of goods and services. The output increase attributable to the transformative projects funded in Round 1 is estimated at almost $113 million. The earnings increase attributable to this funding is about $35.0 million. Some 846 indirect jobs are likely to be generated from the awards made. When the entire budgets attributable to these projects are expended, some 7,343 secondary jobs could be created. This will give a substantial boost to the Long Island economy.

5 38 How We Know We’re Succeeding: How You Can Be Sure
Now for the proof...As strong as we believe this report to be, much of what you have read so far has been analysis and summary of mounds of information and months of effort. So far, we’ve told you what we’ve done. In the following section, we will show you. The series of Appendices con- tain detailed data and other back-up materials – some unique – that document everything we’ve done and why we’ve done it. The work tapped the creativity of Working Group and state staff to produce an easy to read yet exhaustive series of documents.

Social Media

This successful economic development � � tool provides matching state grants to companies to improve manufacturing productivity. On Long Island the impact is leveraged by a LIPA five‐ year electric rate discount which enhances cash flow as companies implement more effective production processes.

Encourage young entrepreneurs, especially young technology experts, to learn marketing, finance and other � � business skills. Substantially increase STEM education, from K‐12 to higher education, particularly initiatives such as the Long Island Community STEM program, created to bring STEM � education and encouragement to schools in Long Island’s distressed areas. Use the State’s Excelsior tax credit program to make Long Island more competitive by offsetting some of its

Progress Report Description This training initiative endeavors to upgrade the skills of unemployed workers in sectors where a skills gap exists between the available workforce and the needs of industry, initially targeting the health care sector. By providing training for local nurses, the project will enhance the skills of the advanced health care workers, and deepen IT literacy within the local workforce generally.
Progress to Date Although the contract for this grant was only recently finalized, planning has begun in earnest. The Town of Hempstead has met with local employers (such as Winthrop Hospital and Long Beach Medical Center), as well as the new Hofstra University Medical School, to design the curriculum for the program. The initiative’s first course will run from August 2012 to February 2013.
The initiative has established a referral system for the three local Long Island WIB's and the five One-Stop Centers, and has begun recruiting unemployed workers for a first cohort of fifteen students. (Ten recruits who did not require additional training were instead placed into job search skills workshops.) The project has also designed systems to identify, enroll, and track participants provided with training and job placement.
Future plans / Milestones • The second phase of the project will be a paralegal training program, scheduled to begin this November. Hofstra University School of Business will coordinate the pre-screening of applicants. • The third phase is scheduled to begin in March 2013. In this and subsequent phases, the initiative will work individually with the long-term unemployed to develop their skills, usually with the goal of job placement in the manufacturing sector. At the same time, the coordinators with work closely with the WIB’s to identify emergent skill gaps, developing appropriate training courses as new needs arise. 115 Appendix D CFA Round 1 Implementation Agenda: TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT CFA Number 6162 Project Name Advanced Manufacturing Composites Training

Progress Report Description This project integrates two core objectives of the WIN cluster – developing an educational pipeline from K-12 to the STEM workforce and upgrading the skills of incumbent workers. In this case, the project’s components – outreach to secondary education (through BOCES), enhancement of college degree programs, internship opportunities, and advanced courses in design – are targeted to composites, a rapidly-growing technology that cross-cuts several manufacturing and high-tech industries. In addition, the initiative is closely linked with the development of AMMTIC, which will foster the growth of new businesses in the region.
Progress to Date LIFT has begun to develop training in part by leveraging an existing $15 million state grant for the development of the Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technology Innovation Center (AMMTIC) in Plainview. AMMTIC will augment the design capabilities of local manufacturers by providing small and mid-size companies with access to prototype equipment and design tools.
The training program, funded through the CFA, will focus on training in composite design. Each course will consist of seven full days of instruction during a three- to four-week period. Curriculum development for the first two days of training began in May. It is being developed in cooperation with industry partners, and will focus on problem-solving within particular industrial contexts – e.g., from a systems-engineering perspective. This curriculum may also be considered for new college courses in the field. Days three through seven will then shift to the actual design applications, using industry standard training. The state grant for AMMTIC will fund the acquisition of equipment, software, and training modules, while the CFA grant will support staffing (trainers), outreach, and curriculum development. Progress is being made now that the AMMTIC capital approval has been granted, and the training initiative faces no other impediments.
The CFA grant has also catalyzed and accelerated the development of relationships with a number of educational institutions, including Stony Brook University, Farmingdale State College, Suffolk County Community College, and 116 Appendix D CFA Round 1 Implementation Agenda: TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT CFA Number 6162 Project Name Advanced Manufacturing Composites Training
Applicant Name LIFT - Advanced Manufacturing Composites BOCES. Stony Brook’s Department of Mechanical Engineering hopes to add new modules in composites design to the undergraduate program. Farmingdale State College is also considering new process-oriented design curricula as a supplement to their existing programs. LIFT and SCCC have discussed the possibility of incorporating composites technology in a two-year Associates degree, and both institutions have partnered with BOCES to develop interest in composite manufacturing among high school students with strong outreach to disadvantaged districts. LIFT is fundraising for scholarships that would enable BOCES students to enroll in Long Island degree and certificate programs. Plans for internship training cross-cut all of the above initiatives, and given that seventy Long Island companies currently use composites technology, LIFT expects that well-trained students with various levels of formal training will find plentiful opportunities in the local job market.
Future Plans / Milestones • Four courses with target enrollments of ten students each will be offered during the next eighteen months. Advertising and outreach for the cohort will begin in August, and the first cohort will enter in October. The second, third, and fourth courses are scheduled for 2013. While the first course will be taught at the Morrelly Homeland Security Center, LIFT hopes that the final two or three courses will be taught at AMMTIC. • The first BOCES scholarship will be awarded in 2013 for students entering in the Fall 2013 semester.

Progress Report Description By augmenting the technical skills of the region’s nursing workforce, the North Shore-LIJ Next Generation program links the work group’s Health Care and STEM sector strategies. The program is designed to develop the skills of the advanced workforce, primarily by developing its IT ,electronic medical records and change management competencies. The varied stages of design and implementation draw together a range of stakeholders around the goal of developing new college level STEM certification programs and creating new job pathways.
Progress to date The program’s design and planning stages involved extensive consultation with the North Shore-LIJ’s private practice division, the Physician and Ambulatory Network Services (PAANS); its Center for Learning Innovations (NSLIJ’s educational division), and deans of area colleges. After partnering with Adelphi, the Next Generation initiative worked with the college, CLI, and PAANS to identify essential topics for the curriculum and structure the program’s internship component. Next Generation staff met with instructors and uploaded course information to keep students informed and minimize redundancy. Once the program design was established, un- and underemployed nurses were recruited through outreach to the Workforce Investment Boards and area nursing schools – including all Long Island nursing schools and many others in the tri-state area. The program requires that all students have graduated from an accredited nursing school, hold a Registered Professional Nurse license, and possess basic computer and interpersonal skills. Fifty- one candidates were interviewed, thirteen were enrolled in the program’s first cohort.
The program was publicly launched at an orientation and “meet-and-greet” event for new students on May 22nd at Adelphi. Classes began on June 4th, take place on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and will run for three months. Adelphi faculty teach general topics, while those which related specifically to the NSLIJ medical records system are taught by clinical instructors from the health system. Students attended an "internship orientation", meeting preceptors who introduced them to the specific physician practice (within PAANS) where they will be conducting their internship. They also had the opportunity to discuss possible site-specific capstone projects. 118 Appendix D CFA Round 1 Implementation Agenda: TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT CFA Number 7062 Project Name Next Generation Unemployed Worker Training
Applicant Name North Shore - Long Island Jewish Health System, Inc.
Future Plans / Milestones • Students will present their capstone projects to their internship managers at the end of classes later this summer. It is expected that the members of the first-year cohort will complete the program by NSLIJ by September, 2012 and will be eligible to interview for employment. • During the summer, current students will have the opportunity to provide feedback that will be used to improve the program. • In the next two-three months, NSLIJ will begin interviewing possible candidates for the second cohort. Classes will begin in January.

Progress Report Description of Project Heartland Town Square, the largest proposed development on Long Island, is located in Brentwood, Town of Islip, Suffolk County, and is envisioned as a new mixed-use community, built upon “Smart Growth” development principles. The approximately 452 acres consist of a major segment of the former Pilgrim State Psychiatric Center. Development of Heartland Town Square would constitute a productive reuse of former New York State surplus property, which is located in a designated urban renewal area.
With a construction cost of $3.7 billion, Heartland will create over 13,000 construction jobs, over 25,000 permanent jobs, 34,000 indirect jobs, and 51,000 secondary jobs through redevelopment and revitalization. During the first five years of construction, the construction cost is estimated at $1.3 billion dollars. The number of construction jobs created in each year during the first five years is 880 (for a total of approximately 4,400 construction jobs).
With respect to the tax base, on an annual basis, within the first five years, Heartland Town Square is projected to generate approximately $15.8 million in property taxes for numerous taxing jurisdictions. By completion, it is estimated that Heartland Town Square would generate over $50 million in property taxes to various local and Town jurisdictions. Of the over $50 million in property taxes generated, almost 71% would be received by the Brentwood Union Free School District. In addition to tax revenue generated, the future residents of Heartland Town Square would inject approximately $285 million of additional purchasing power into the community annually and the project will increase Long Island’s output of goods and services by $1.8 billion over the first five years. Upon completion of construction, the total Long Island output of goods and services will have increased by $8.7 billion, including the initial $3.7 billion investment.
Heartland Town Square will ultimately be developed with 9,000 dwelling units (90 percent of which would be rental, and of those, 23 percent would be affordable, workforce units), 1,000,000 square feet of “life-style” retail and hotels, over 3,000,000 square feet of office space and various civic uses, creating a place where people can 120 Appendix D CFA Round 1 Implementation Agenda: TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT CFA Number 2432 Project Name Heartland Town Square/ Pilgrim State Site Capital
Applicant Name Heartland live, work and play.
Phase 1 of the Heartland Town Square consists of the downtown or Town Center of the project and includes 626,000 square feet of office space, 560,000 square feet of retail, 105,500 square feet of civic space and 3,504 residential units. Phase 1 will be developed in two stages.
Stage 1 of Phase 1 includes the construction of internal infrastructure and roadway connections to Crooked Hill Road, one of the main transportation arteries that will serve the Heartland site and connect to the downtown of Heartland Town Square. Other internal infrastructure includes sewer, water, and drainage to allow for the construction of the initial downtown development.
Stage 1 includes on-site infrastructure, including connections between internal roads within the Town Center of Heartland Town Square to Crooked Hill Road and the proposed buildings. Roadway construction costs include: pavement, curbing, sidewalks, sanitary sewer piping and structures, water mains, storm drainage piping and structures, an allowance for utilities (electric, gas, telephone, cable, internet, etc.), striping and signs, and street lighting. The other internal infrastructure to be constructed is associated with sewage disposal and water supply, including piping, an on-site pump station, and water distribution facilities.
Progress to Date The Wolkoff family owns the property and has already spent over $75 million of their own funds for land acquisition, demolition, State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) review and studies, and has the financial wherewithal to continue to fund the development, which is shovel-ready.
As part of the 2011 CFA process, $2.5 million was awarded to the Heartland Town Square development for improvements to Crooked Hill Road. Of the $2.5 million, $600,000 is to be used for the survey and design of the Crooked Hill Road improvements from the Long Island Expressway to Campus Road, and $1.9 million is to be used to construct the Crooked Hill Road improvements from the Long Island Expressway to the North Heartland Access.
Future Plans / Milestones Once the Town of Islip approves the project through SEQRA by early 2013, work can being on Phase 1 Stage 1 in April 2013. The design and engineering of the internal road work and infrastructure would be complete by November 2013 and architectural design and engineering of retail, office and apartments would be complete by December 2013. The roadwork and infrastructure construction would start in late 2013 and retail and apartment construction would start in 2014.

Progress Report Description The Town of Babylon’s Wyandanch Rising project, recognized as a transformative project in the Long Island Regional Council’s Strategic Plan, was awarded $6,000,000. This funding will be used to construct critical infrastructure and perform environmental remediation.
Progress to Date To date, approval for funding has been granted from the New York State Department of Transportation under the Multi-Modal #4 Program, and an Incentive Proposal with Empire State Development has been signed. Each of these projects will fund roadway and infrastructure improvements in support of the development of new mixed- use buildings in the downtown area in accordance with the Town’s recently adopted Form-Based Code.
Future Plans / Milestones Roadway design is currently underway and is expected to be completed by September 2012. Construction on early action roadways (those receiving grant funding) is scheduled to start shortly thereafter and be completed by the end of 2012. All six new roads to the north and east of Straight Path will be completed by fall 2013. The Intermodal Plaza is in the Design Development phase, with an anticipated construction start date of April 2013.
A fully executed contract with the Environmental Facilities Corporation is expected in early fall 2012. The EFC Green Innovation Grant Program will fund wetland restoration work being performed in the Carll’s River Watershed at Wyandanch’s Geiger Lake Park, including the creation of a stormwater treatment wetland.

Progress Report Description The Village of Hempstead’s Downtown Vision is a comprehensive revitalization and transit-oriented redevelopment project which will reverse a period of severe disinvestment, declining tax revenues, long-term community and economic decline, and other community issues.
The Village of Hempstead is the largest minority-majority municipality on Long Island. The Village has the largest unemployed population on the Island – 50% above the Nassau County average – and less than 60% graduation rate in its high school. It also has the highest foreclosure rate on Long Island. In addition to socioeconomic distress, the Village has suffered from significant long-term disinvestment and its infrastructure is 80 years old, resulting in repeatedly occurring flooding problems and sewer overflows in the streets and homes of Village residents.
The Village has entered into a private-public partnership with the community and Renaissance Downtowns/Urban America, which will result in an estimated $2 billion worth of private investment to create thousands of construction and permanent jobs, eliminate blight, support a vibrant economic base, reinvigorate a critical mobility hub, and provide social and environmental benefits impacting the highest concentration of minority businesses on Long Island.
A Final Environmental Impact Statement has been approved for over 3,000 new residential units, 383,000 square feet of office, 283,000 square feet of retail and restaurant, and 1.2 million square feet of artisan production, healthcare, technical school, and a trade academy. The private-public partnership anticipates a form-based code, affordable housing, and green construction associated with the revitalization.
The redevelopment of the Village of Hempstead will serve as a national model for building social and economic equity. It will transform Long Island through an inclusionary and symbiotic relationship between government, private industry, and community. 126 Appendix D CFA Round 1 Implementation Agenda: TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT CFA Number 6400 Project Name Incorporated Village of Hempstead Capital
Applicant Name Incorporated Village of Hempstead
Progress to Date As part of Round 1 of the Regional Economic Development Council process, the Village of Hempstead received $5 million to support the redevelopment and revitalization of the 279 acre downtown commercial area through sewer upgrades. The Village has retained a consultant, Cameron Engineering, to inspect the sewer system to assess what parts of the sewer needs repair or replacement and determine what strategy should be used to direct the sewage flow to the Nassau County Sewage Treatment Plants with the least impact on the system. In addition, the funding will be used to repair and/or replace the sewer pipe and upgrade the pump stations to meet New York standards.
The Engineering and Investigation phase of the project is approximately 50% complete and construction recommendations will be delivered to the Village in late summer 2012.
Future Plans / Milestones Construction on the sewer is scheduled to begin in September of 2012 with completion in the first half of 2013. The studies and engineering funded by the Village and the NYS grant have been extraordinarily useful. These studies will allow the engineers to directly target problem areas which will allow the greatest amount of development to move forward. It is expected that the first site plans under the new zoning code will be submitted this fall. The expedited approval process, along with the sewer repairs funded by the NYS grant program, will allow construction to begin in the spring of 2013. The first phase is expected to yield between 300-400 residential units and well as mixed use commercial space, a new athletic facility, the renovation of a commercial building for art gallery and production space and a new construction trades training academy.

Progress Report Description Stewarded by Brookhaven National Laboratory and supported by North Shore-LIJ Health System, the STEM Hub focuses on preparing students for the regional workforce by enhancing students’ and teachers’ experiences. In doing so, it encourages student interest in STEM fields, and will raise STEM enrollments in local colleges. By promoting faster, more direct and active dialogue between industry and the academic community, the Hub will also develop educational pipelines – including internships – that close skill gaps quickly and effectively.
Progress to Date Both the LIREDC’s strategic planning process and subsequent ESD funding greatly accelerated the Hub’s development, as did a $45,000 grant from the Long Island Community Foundation. Although the Long Island STEM Hub is a newly formed organization, it has already made considerable progress towards its goals.
Outreach is well underway, and by leveraging its strong network of partnerships, the LI STEM Hub has engaged hundreds of stakeholders in its work. Over 250 leaders from industry, education, government, and informal education came together for the Hub’s official launch event in December 2011. The project has also designed and recruited leaders for eight Regional Industry Councils (RIC’s). Each RIC is charged with identifying the needs of high-growth industries and determining how to prepare our regional workforce to meet those needs. The RIC’s – composed of key leaders from industry, government, and education – create a formal structure that encourages employers and educators to collaborate on specific objectives within a given industry base. Eight RICs are in development: Healthcare and Life Science, Advanced Manufacturing, Aviation, Energy and Environment, Engineering, Global Business, Homeland Security, and Information Technology. The Hub launch event grouped the 250 attendees in eight RIC working sessions to guide the LI STEM Hub’s long- term strategic plan. Within six months, these RICs have already made a notable impact by eliminating the barriers between long-standing silos of industry and education – for example, by laying the groundwork for STEM student internship programs. 128 Appendix D CFA Round 1 Implementation Agenda: TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT CFA Number 6697 Project Name Long Island STEM Hub Working Capital
Applicant Name Brookhaven National Laboratory The Health Care RIC, for example, has drawn together over 40 participants, including representatives from the academic and local business community, who share the common goals of equipping students with the skills and education needed for careers in Long Island’s health care industry. Although still in its infancy, this council has already made considerable progress. The RIC is working to create Health Care Career Academies in high schools; three are successfully running and more schools are interested. The Health Care RIC has successfully placed students into internships with local companies and will expand upon this work during the coming year.
Future Plans / Milestones • Two general STEM Hub meetings. • Formally establish a Core Team. • Formally establish a Board of Champions. • Complete a preliminary asset map and gap analysis for STEM program opportunities on Long Island. • Develop a structured approach for working with Long Island businesses to place students as interns and teachers for work experiences.

Progress Report Description Suffolk County, the Towns of Brookhaven and Islip, and Brookhaven’s Master Developer, Tritec Real Estate Company LLC, are partnering on the Ronkonkoma Hub - one of the most exciting transit-oriented developments (TOD) on the entire east coast in the center of Long Island. This TOD will turn a blighted area within steps of the busiest suburban Long Island Railroad (LIRR) station with 17,000 riders per day into a brand new live-work-play destination and connect it to Long Island’s only major commercial airport, Long Island MacArthur Airport (LIMA).
The redevelopment of the Ronkonkoma Hub will leverage over $325 million in private funding to create a new center of economic activity. In both Brookhaven and Islip, over 12,000 jobs will be created when their projects are fully executed. The Brookhaven redevelopment alone will result in an increase in goods and services by over $678 million and Long Island earnings would increase by more than $215 million.
The Ronkonkoma Hub redevelopment in Brookhaven consists of 50 acres of blighted industrial and commercial property north of the train station. The Town has been working with civic organizations for over five years. After a formal process, the Brookhaven Town Board approved a Memorandum of Agreement with Tritec Real Estate Company, LLC as Master Developer based upon a unanimous recommendation from the Design Committee, which included representatives from Islip and the community. The Town of Brookhaven is currently working with Tritec on a final design concept and a form-based code, which will place an emphasis on design standards and meet community visions not achievable through existing or conventional zoning.
As part of the joint development plan, the Town of Islip is advancing the Long Island MacArthur Airport Visioning Plan. The New York State DOT estimates that LIMA generates over $500 million yearly in economic activity. The Visioning Plan identifies specific projects to maximize the economic impact of Long Island MacArthur Airport, including the foreign trade zone and a potential Automated People Mover (APM) connecting LIMA to the train station and surrounding development. 130 Appendix D CFA Round 1 Implementation Agenda: TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT CFA Number 7156 Project Name Ronkonkoma Hub Sewage Treatment Plant
Applicant Name Suffolk County DPW Progress to Date Suffolk County Department of Public Works received a $4 million grant in Round 1 of the Regional Economic Development Council funding to design and construct a regional sewage treatment plant at Ronkonkoma on 9 acres of Suffolk County-owned property. The sewage treatment plant will initially process 500,000 gallons per day and its capacity can be expanded in the future. The sewage treatment plant is the linchpin to the entire project – the redevelopment does not happen without it. The Suffolk County legislature added $21 million to its capital budget for the construction of the sewage treatment plant, which will be paid back by the property owners of the sewer district. Suffolk County Department of Public Works (DPW) has completed the Map and Plan and awarded the contract for Design work to Cameron Engineering.
Future Plans / Milestones The initial engineering for the design will be complete by the end of the 2012. DPW has also sent the Map and Plan to the Environmental Facilities Corporation for scoring to be placed on the Intended Use Plan. The Town of Brookhaven anticipates its Master Developer Designation Agreement with Tritec will be finalized in the fall of 2012, which includes timelines for the form-based zoning and environmental process and allow Tritec to start the acquisition process.

Progress Report Description Cornell’s Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County is one of the more unique extension offices in the nation due to their efforts to restore the scallop fisheries industry in Peconic Bay. Scallops were killed off in Peconic Bay due to a mysterious brown algal plume event in the mid-1980’s. Since then, the water has been clean, but scallops have been slow to return to the waters. Scientists at the Extension have been working diligently to bring the scallops back through seeding efforts and progress has been made but an expanded effort is needed.
Marine related industries bring hundreds of millions of dollars and hundreds of jobs to Suffolk County. Since the Suffolk County Extension office began seeding efforts, scallop harvesting has rebounded and brought additional jobs to the region and $3 million in economic impact.
Scallops have a short 1-2 year lifespan. In this way, they are different from other shellfish like clams or lobsters that have longer lives. They typically grow to maturity and reproduce in the first year. For this reason, they are an exceptional shellfish product. Although due to their current low numbers in Peconic Bay, scallop seeding is crucial to the success of the shellfish industry.
Progress to Date The funds have already increased production of scallops in the hatchery and researchers have expanded their long- line grow-out system which is located in Orient Harbor. This system allows the scallops to grow in a protected environment away from predators. The scallop industry is estimated to be at only 10% of its pre-brown tide value in the 1980’s; there is tremendous potential for growth.
The effort addresses some key areas identified in the Regional Economic Development Plan. It enhances collaborative partnerships, encourages improvements in manufacturing (or at least of innovative scientific scallop production), and increases agricultural entrepreneurial activities. In addition, it addresses a key area identified as 134 Appendix D CFA Round 1 Implementation Agenda: TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT CFA Number 7750 Project Name Bay Scallop Restoration
Applicant Name Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County critical issues for natural assets as noted in the plan: it helps to transition from traditional to sustainable agriculture by promoting local specialized fisheries.
Future Plans / Milestones While the expansion of the hatchery system has been completed, and the longline designed, it will be put in place between December of 2012 and September 2013 to eventually produce an additional 100,000 bay scallops. Also, from November 2013 to April 2014, concentrated large scale planting of scallops will take place in Flanders Bay, an area with underproducing scallop harvests. In the coming months, the development of a private scallop industry for the production of scallops on the half shell will be completed. It is expected that four private culturalists will take part in this project along with a shellfish seed supplier.

Progress Report Description It is hard to imagine, but many farmers in the county in New York State with the highest sales volume of agricultural products do not have access to an agricultural processing facility that allows cold storage and distribution access—at least not yet! On July 27, 2012, a ribbon cutting was held for the new Grapes and Greens agricultural processing plant in Riverhead in Suffolk County that was funded in part by a grant from the Long Island Regional Economic Development Council. This processing facility will transform East End agriculture.
Of course, most are familiar with Suffolk County’s strong agricultural heritage. Farmers grow unique high value crops for farm to table usage. Duck, cheese, fruits, and vegetables are all important crops in the region. However, farmers have difficulty in reaching markets outside of local farm stands, wineries, or restaurants—particularly when they are competing within a global agricultural market. They lack access to a chilled processing plant and distribution networks that would allow them to reach markets outside of Suffolk County. Many grocery chains require specific handling, storage, and transportation conditions that Suffolk farmers had difficulty in achieving.
Now, that is changing. The new facility is a public private arrangement with multiple partners who received a $500,000 grant from the Long Island Regional Economic Development Council. The funds were originally to be used to study the feasibility of the park within the strategy outlined in the Long Island Plan. However, the facility will begin shipping Long Island Produce in August 2012. The leaders of the effort are the Long Island Farm Bureau and J.Kings Food Service Professionals Inc. owned by Long Islander, John King. His company has been in food distribution and processing on the island for some time. Several small farmers who will sell their produce to King’s company for distribution to stores like Whole Foods Market are also part of the effort. Crops like Long Island corn will soon be on the shelves of Whole Foods outside of Suffolk County and the wineries on the island will now have access to cold storage to allow them to increase production.
The project evolved out of discussions among stakeholders in the farm, wine, and fisheries industries in Suffolk County who were concerned over the lack of quality processing and distribution facilities for their products. In the 136 Appendix D CFA Round 1 Implementation Agenda: TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT CFA Number 7895 Project Name Agriculture Enterprise Park Capital
Applicant Name Agriculture Enterprise Park coming years, we will be able to measure the amount of Long Island grown products that enter this facility for distribution all of the country. The effort addresses some key areas identified in the Regional Economic Development Plan. It enhances collaborative partnerships, encourages improvements in manufacturing (or at least of agricultural processing), and increases agricultural entrepreneurial activities. In addition, it addresses key areas identified as critical issues for natural assets as noted in the plan: it helps to transition from traditional to sustainable agriculture by promoting local specialized farming; and it helps preserves agricultural land by providing greater value to agricultural products.
Progress to Date At the present time, the building for the facility has been purchased. It is essentially an older warehouse and is in the process of an extensive renovation that has employed several people. The infrastructure is being put in place to begin processing crops. The renovation has already produced enough workable space to allow the processing of Long Island farm produce for distribution throughout the entire New York metro region.
Future Plans / Milestones In the coming months, renovations will continue with completion later this year. Specialized processing equipment and refrigeration units will be installed. In the next year, the Farm Bureau will recruit tenants to share the facility with J Kings (several have already stepped forward) and it is anticipated that the facility will allow farmers to expand their employment base due to the opportunities provided by the development of the processing facility. In addition, processing agriculture crops adds value by providing state-of-the-art packaging that is up to the standard expected by state and federal regulations, grocery stores, and consumers. Adding value to the crops will allow greater expansion of agricultural employment and further create a positive environment for farming and farm preservation in Suffolk County.

Progress Report Description The construction of NYIT’s Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Center (ETIC) supports the educational pipeline for the region’s highly-skilled workforce. Through the center’s industry-academic outreach programs, NYIT will provide opportunities for talented students from disadvantaged districts. By enabling students to work with businesses on real-world problems, the center will pave the way both towards internship and job placement, as well as new entrepreneurial ventures. ETIC’s focus on IT/cyber-security, bio-engineering, and green technology parallels the key sectors identified in the LIREDC’s strategic plan. Additionally, the center will implement many of the specific sector strategies as it strengthens IT literacy, advances green technologies, and forges partnerships to build STEM career pathways.
Progress to Date The Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Center (ETIC) at NYIT's School of Engineering and Computing Sciences is being created with the assistance of an advisory board, comprised of members from industry, government, and the venture capital community. This advisory board has put together a planning document to collect all collaborative proposals and elicit feedback from partners. The CFA grant will be used to renovate a 5,300 square foot facility that will house three laboratories in the critical areas of health analytics and bioengineering, IT and cyber security, and energy and green technologies. These labs will be collaborative spaces; the advisory board’s member companies (which include IBM and Motorola) will donate some of the equipment, and will work with students and faculty to research, develop, and test new technologies. ETIC will also support entrepreneurship by providing facilities for start-ups to design new technologies and develop proofs of concept. A separate Entrepreneurship Board will review proposals, select companies, and introduce entrepreneurs to both venture capitalists and potential NYIT partners.
NYIT is now finalizing the ETIC planning and design documents, and is in the process of hiring four faculty members and one technician to run ETIC research activities. In addition to the core undergraduate mission of the center, early planning has also begun on K-12 outreach programs, which could include industry-supported hack-a-thons, 141 Appendix D CFA Round 1 Implementation Agenda: TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT CFA Number 8309 Project Name NY Institute of Technology Capital
Applicant Name New York Institute of Technology technology camps, and field trips to businesses in the region. Similarly, advisory committee members and faculty have begun discussing how to integrate new Masters-level modules, courses, and programs to close skill gaps within industry.
Future Plans / Milestones • Work on the preliminary facility layout continues, and review and approval is scheduled for mid-September. NYIT also plans to apply for federal funding in September. • Design will continue during the fall, as the college prepares to put the renovation out for bid. • Construction, systems installation, and lab equipment installation will take place during 2013, as will detailed programmatic and curricular development. • The facility’s anticipated completion date is November 30, 2013.

Progress Report Description
The STEM Diversity Roundtable and Center integrates the three STEM sector Workforce and Education strategies developed in the Strategic Plan – building and sustaining interest in STEM among Pre-K-12 students; increasing college degree production in STEM disciplines; and forging relationships between private, public, and non-profit partners to provide job pathways in STEM. In the process, the initiative also contributes to the Regional Council’s IT literacy strategy, underscoring the relationship between STEM and the Advanced Manufacturing sectors. By focusing on under-represented students, the Roundtable supports the broader goal of “ensuring prosperity for all”, supporting three of the plan’s General Strategies – engaging a range of K-12 stakeholders in skill creation, reducing educational disparities among districts, and providing on-the-job experiences for high school students (in this case, a program that allows them to shadow STEM professionals).
Progress to Date
Though planning for the project continues, the Roundtable and Center have made considerable progress, even in the grant’s early stages. State funding has enabled the Center to expand its Summer Academy. Building upon Farmingdale State College's Science Technology Program (STEP) for middle and high schools students, the Summer Academy exposes students from disadvantaged districts to aviation, robotics, and health technologies. The Center provides space for the program, and leverages college students from Farmingdale SC’s Collegiate Science and Technology Education Program (CSTEP), who act as peer mentors for Academy enrollees.
The Center has also recruited high school students for its new Certified Health Record Specialist Program, offered in collaboration with Farmingdale SC’s Long Island Educational Opportunity Center. The program is designed for graduating high school students who have not been accepted to college. Aside from marketing the program, the Center has played a key role in leveraging state support to ensure that federal funds (in the form of Perkins Grants) would support enrolled students. 143 Appendix D CFA Round 1 Implementation Agenda: TRANSFORMATIVE PROJECT CFA Number 8552 Project Name Farmingdale State College STEM Diversity Roundtable and Ctr Working Capital
Applicant Name Farmingdale State College
A website for the Roundtable and Center is currently under construction, and will include photos from the Summer Academy. The Center has contracted a minority-owned web design firm for this work. The Roundtable and Center have reported no impediments.
Future Plans / Milestones
• The initiative is working with A+ Mobile Solutions, Inc. to design a mobile science lab (A+ Mobile Solutions Lab) and to develop training for teachers. The mobile facility will include lab tables and science stations that will allow teachers to explore a variety of topics with their students. The lab should be established by the end of the fall 2012 semester. • The Roundtable plans to continue holding monthly meetings and assessing its impacts, with the goal of deepening anecdotal evidence of STEM education’s positive outcomes. Early reports on the roundtable’s collaborations with school districts – the STEM STEP and Smart Scholars Programs – are very positive. In Amityville, for example, all of the students who attended a STEM program passed their Math and Science Regents Exams. • The next STEM Summit has been scheduled for March 20, 2013. Past summits have drawn hundreds of teachers; students; and non-profit-, public-, and private-sector leaders from across Long Island. • The Roundtable will organize a forum for guidance counselors, to raise their awareness about the range of STEM educational opportunities for Long Island high school graduates. (One key Workforce and Education general strategy recognizes that better student counseling is a key ingredient in building job pathways.) Early planning has also begun for a “Parents’ University”, which will provide parents with strategies for supporting their children's STEM learning.
