  • Dear SIEDC Supporter... Photos from the 6Th Annual Staten Island Film
    Dear SIEDC Supporter... Photos from the 6th Annual Thanks to the work of staff, our Resource Development Staten Island Film Festival: Committee and several other members, our Membership is at an all-time high. As of the date of this letter, the ONLY openings we have for new membership are within the Business Council, Building & Developers Circle and Green and Clean Council. All other memberships have maxed out. I believe this success is a testament to the good product we put out, the service we provide our membership and most importantly, the quality of the membership. Congrats to everyone! I never received more of a positive response to an email than after we sent out the June 5th email blast - “Staten Island’s Lack of Product May be the Biggest Hindrance to Future Development.” Every call and email we received was in agreement with our evaluation. Only one property owner has stepped forward with a new entry. When it is all said and done, we may only have 100 acres of turnkey, industrial and commercial developable property left on Staten Island. Please keep the submissions coming. We only have 7 sites that have made the cut so far. A quick note on our South Shore Project – there is no bigger supporter of small businesses on the South Shore than Councilman Ignizio. See the feature article in this edition of SIEDC News. Our partnership with the Councilman has led to great strides in these towns. Lastly, just a reminder to everyone – please dine at our nine Executive Dining Network locations this summer.
