The Long Island Association’s Priorities and Initiatives for 2016 include the

critical issues, policies and projects we will advocate for on behalf of the Long

Island business community this year. We are committed to achieving these

objectives in order to create jobs, spur private investment, promote economic

development, rebuild from Superstorm Sandy, reduce the property tax burden

and improve the overall business climate in our region. The LIA will continue

to collaborate with other organizations on Long Island and throughout the state

to build support for these initiatives. In addition, Long Island's demographics

clearly show we are getting older and losing our younger generation. In fact,

our changing demographics may be the single greatest challenge facing Long

Island today. The LIA has become the “agent of change” to help mobilize our

region to get Long Island growing again. And, while our region adapts to

population changes, we need to ensure we do not jettison our educational,

public safety and environmental amenities that make Long Island an attractive

place to live and work.

Top 10 Priorities in 2016

1. Support state funding for the creation of a Research Corridor from Yaphank to

Uniondale and two major redevelopment projects at the Nassau and Ronkonkoma

Hubs, out of the “Transformative Investment Program,” a financial commitment by

the state in our physical, intellectual and natural infrastructure that could leverage

billions of dollars in additional private investments, while creating thousands of

construction and permanent jobs for our region.

2. Oppose the proposed increase in the minimum wage to $15 per hour.

3. Work with the Long Island Index to help build community support for the “Right

Track,” Governor Cuomo’s proposed Long Island Rail Road Improvement Program:

Floral Park-Hicksville Expansion (formerly known as the Third Track) while

supporting additional investments in the LIRR, including funding for the MTA’s $29

billion 2015-2019 Capital Program, as efforts to make it easier to get to and from New

York City strengthen our region.

4. Build regional support for the expansion of Long Island MacArthur Airport with new

airlines and destinations and strengthen its connectivity to the LIRR station at

Ronkonkoma while making it a focus of tourism efforts of the state, county and town

and support U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer’s, the Governor’s and the Town of Islip’s

efforts to create a Federal Inspection Services facility to allow for international flights

directly into and out of MacArthur. Also, continue to support the growth of Republic

Airport under its new private operator (and its inclusion in the Start-Up NY program)

and the overall aviation industry on Long Island.

1. Work with the Long Island Regional Planning Council and local

Chambers of Commerce to relaunch “LI First,” a program designed

to encourage Long Island businesses to purchase goods and services

from other Long Island businesses while encouraging shopping in

our downtowns and establishing a business-to-business newsletter to

serve the needs of the small business community. 2. Work with the Long Island Builders Institute, Long Island Regional

Planning Council and the Association for a Better Long Island to

advance efforts to expand sewer capacity throughout Long Island

and allow for mixed-use and transit-oriented development projects,

especially those that will increase the supply of rental housing on

Long Island.

3. Continue to assist our academic institutions with participating in

Start-Up NY and other state and local efforts to spur the growth of

high-tech startup companies on Long Island.

4. Build regional support for the expansion of Long Island MacArthur

Airport with new airlines and destinations and strengthen its

connectivity to the LIRR station at Ronkonkoma while making it a

focus of tourism efforts of the state, county and town. Also, continue

to support the growth of Republic Airport (and its inclusion in the

Start-Up NY program) and the overall aviation industry on Long

Island.

5. Support legislation that would require all public employees

participating in the New York State Retirement System to contribute

25% towards their health insurance costs, which is comparable to

what state employees currently pay.

5. Launch “LI BIO” – a new committee of the LIA that will serve as a platform to help

expand Long Island’s burgeoning sector of companies focused on biotechnology,

pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmeceutical and life sciences and that will act as a forum

for those in these industries to network, collaborate and educate the LIA about the needs

and concerns of their businesses so the LIA can address them in its advocacy efforts.

6. Participate in the Integrated Resource Plan being prepared by PSEG-LI and support a

new, comprehensive energy master plan for Long Island to guide energy policy decision

making in the region while promoting diverse energy supplies and projects, including the

expansion of natural gas by importing more and distributing it via existing petroleum

pipelines, the importation of more hydropower from Upstate and Canada, and incentives

for biofuels. Also, support efforts to address climate change and create a clean energy

economy on Long Island by encouraging the growth of the region's wind and solar

industries and continue to advocate that LIPA donate the land at the Shoreham nuclear

power plant site for a manufacturing park for wind turbines and/or solar panels.

7. Support re-authorization of SUNY 2020 to benefit our state colleges, universities and

community colleges on Long Island.

8. Support more investment in sewage infrastructure in the region that allows for mixed-use

and transit-oriented development projects, especially those that will increase the supply of

rental housing on Long Island. Also, support the work of the groundwater resource

protection plans being prepared by the Long Island Regional Planning Council and New

York State Department of Environmental Conservation (while not overregulating or

hindering the business community) as our economy is strengthened by a healthy

environment and a degraded environment produces fewer jobs.

9. Build on the success of the LIA’s Women’s Collaborative by supporting

businesswomen’s issues that include but are not limited to equal pay for equal work,

ending workplace sexual harassment and sexual discrimination, and support efforts to

make child care and early education opportunities more affordable and accessible to

working families as they are critical to economic development, and support studying the

feasibility of “employee-funded” family leave policies to strengthen working families.

10. Work with the Association for a Better Long Island and support state legislation that

would allow municipalities to implement a “professional certification” program in order

to save commercial landlords time and money when they are making non-complex

changes to their buildings in order to attract or keep tenants, thus allowing a municipality

in certain circumstances to issue a building permit/certificate of occupancy by relying on

the certification of a Professional Engineer or Registered Architect that the building

renovations were completed in compliance with applicable building and zoning laws and

codes.

Infrastructure

Support acceleration of both the LIRR’s Double Track to Ronkonkoma project which

will significantly increase capacity and enhance service reliability by adding a second

track to the LIRR’s Ronkonkoma branch, and the East Side Access project which will

bring the LIRR directly to Grand Central with a new two-level terminal constructed

below the existing terminal. Also, support the Governor’s plans to rebuild Penn Station

while ensuring adequate space there for the LIRR, the opening of a new Republic Airport

rail station and the electrification of the LIRR on the Ronkonkoma branch to Riverhead.

Support Suffolk County’s “I-Zone” initiative to encourage regional growth and vibrancy

by creating a multi modal north-south corridor that links three LIRR branches, including

the establishment of an LIRR station at Brookhaven National Laboratory, and improve

connections among world-renowned Long Island universities and research institutions

with transit-oriented development communities while also supporting expanded bus rapid

transit routes linking employee trips with LIRR stations and employment hubs.

Support the Governor’s efforts to study a new Long Island Sound crossing, including

high-speed, high-capacity ferries, to improve traffic on and off Long Island and better

connect our economy to the New England economy. Also, support the Port Authority’s

Cross-Harbor Freight Program to improve the movement of freight and goods across the

Hudson River and New York Harbor, which will spur job creation and enhance the

region's economic competitiveness in a more efficient, environmentally friendly and cost-

effective method for Long Island and other parts of the state.

Support federal immigration reform to increase the number of EB-5 visas to fund

infrastructure projects which would result in non-U.S. investors and their immediate

families investing at least $1 million in projects that create a minimum of 10 new jobs.

Support expansion of the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act

(TIFIA) program, which provides federal credit assistance to finance surface

transportation projects of national and regional significance to small municipalities who

can then use the funding to borrow against their projects.

Work with Organized Labor to support efforts to create good-paying careers for its

members and for our region.

Support and Promote other Economic Development and

Job Creation Initiatives

Energy

Promote the efforts of Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory to

advance micro grids, battery testing and development and super-conductivity on Long

Island, attracting R&D-focused companies to take advantage of the human capital and

physical plants of these institutions.

Support investments in Long Island’s energy infrastructure to ensure available and

reliable power while strengthening the resiliency of the grid to withstand extreme

weather events like Superstorm Sandy.

Support expansion of the natural gas distribution system to presently underserved areas

which will result in a more efficient, affordable and cleaner fuel source and support

expeditious approvals by state agencies on permit and other regulatory requests so

businesses can move forward and invest in a timely way.

Support a standardized commercial wind permitting building code as was approved for

the solar industry.

Innovation Economy Support efforts to create a Biotech Park at the Nassau Hub, including a structured

parking facility to maximize the usage for the remaining acreage surrounding the soon-

to-be-renovated Nassau Coliseum and the Center for Bioelectronic Medicine to be

developed by Northwell Health’s Feinstein Institute of Medical Research at the Hub.

Continue to assist our academic institutions with participating in Start-Up NY and

other state and local economic development efforts to spur the growth of high-tech and

bio-tech startup companies on Long Island. Also, continue to administratively support

Accelerate Long Island.

Support federal immigration reform to increase the number of H-1B visas and ensure

highly skilled immigrants can legally enter and stay in the U.S. to help drive Long

Island's innovation economy.

Support changing “Buy America” rules to include information technology and

intellectual property.

Support our great schools and encourage public-private partnerships in education using

alternative education models while continuing to support STEM programs to ensure a

strong workforce for the future.

Continue to support existing and new manufacturing companies and the applied

science industries.

Support efforts to make our region safer from cybersecurity attacks and efforts to

create a cybersecurity industry on Long Island.

Continue to assist businesses with the Global NY program to expand international

trade for Long Island companies with foreign countries, especially those linked to

manufacturing.

Promote the advancement of broadband wireless technology and the

telecommunications industry in the region to enhance the way business is conducted.

Rental Housing/Land Use/Regionally Significant Projects

Support specific mixed-use and rental projects that are significant to our region,

including Garvies Point in Glen Cove, Syosset Park in Oyster Bay and Heartland in

Brentwood and ongoing redevelopment projects at Belmont, Wyandanch, Hempstead

and other communities while continuing to support the overall redevelopment of

EPCAL in Riverhead.

Work with the Long Island Builders Institute to support legislation that would require a

bond be submitted by the party appealing a land-use decision to protect developers from

associated costs relating to delays caused by appeals of decisions made by

municipalities.

Support efforts to improve New York State's Brownfields program that would increase

the construction of rental housing on these sites.

Improve the State Environmental Quality Review Act to streamline municipal

permitting programs in order to give developers and businesses a more certain, workable

timetable for the environmental review of major projects.

Support the creation of a special New York State Supreme Court for land-use litigation

to allow courts to develop expertise in the field and to accelerate judicial decisions.

Natural Assets and our Communities

Support the Governor’s proposal to add $300 million in state funding for the

Environmental Protection Fund that can be used for investments in land acquisition,

farmland protection and waterfront revitalization.

Help ensure fair and equitable state and federal rules to expand and promote sustainable

agriculture, fisheries, wineries, aquaculture and tourism industries, particularly on the

East End.

Support the LIA’s Young Professionals Committee in their mission to educate, network

and collaborate with employees age 22-35 to help train the next generation of business

leaders, while integrating their input in confronting the challenges facing young people

on Long Island.

Support our cultural arts, environmental and recreational activities to promote Long

Island as a great place to live, work, visit and play.

Assist the efforts to promote the region for tourism by the Long Island Convention &

Visitors Bureau and Sports Commission. Support Tourism Improvement Districts for

those communities in Nassau and Suffolk Counties seeking to establish them to raise

funds for destination marketing, tourism promotion, sales and events. Remove the $2

million cap from Suffolk County’s Room Occupancy Tax to generate more revenue for

promotion and for East End transportation, and ensure equitable state funding from the

“I Love NY” campaign.

Work with local Chambers of Commerce to encourage shopping in our downtowns and

establish business-to-business communications to serve the needs of the small business

community.

Support equality and diversity on Long Island and speak out against speech that breeds

hatred, especially against undocumented immigrants, which is wrong and hurts the

perception of our business region. Continue to support our local minority- and women-

owned businesses by working with the African American and Hispanic Chambers of

Commerce and the LIA’s Women’s Collaborative.

Advocate for increased state support for the Hunger Prevention Nutrition Assistance

Program (HPNAP) above the planned base level funding to establish a new Regional

Food Bank Innovative Outreach Grant.

Mandate Relief

Curb soaring Medicaid costs for county governments by having the state take over

each county's local share, as is done in most states. This would immediately stabilize

the finances for both Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

Eliminate unfunded mandates imposed by the state to help local governments and

school districts comply with the property tax cap and oppose any new unfunded

mandates.

Reduce the cost of construction by repealing the state's Wicks Law which adds to the

cost of public projects.

Reform the state's Scaffold Law by making liability standards against owners of

construction projects less onerous and more fair in terms of fault allocation and

liability standards.

Support additional reforms to Workers' Compensation and Unemployment Insurance

to help lower costs to businesses.

Oppose additional mandates on health insurance and oppose legislation which would

eliminate the current insurance market in favor of a single-payer system.

Reduce the Property Tax Burden and Support Tax

Policies to Enhance the Business Climate in our Region

Controlling Cost of Public Pensions, Salaries and Benefits

Support legislation that would require all public employees participating in the New

York State Retirement System to contribute 25% towards their health insurance costs.

Expand the New York State retirement system Tier VI's optional defined contribution

plan (currently available to non-union employees salaried at $75,000 and higher) to

include all existing and future employees.

Support legislation affecting all public employees who participate in the New York

State Retirement System to reduce the future retirement earnings credit for a year of

government service to 1.5%; to increase the retirement age to 66; and prohibit use of

any overtime in calculating the final salaries pensions are based upon, all of which

will help stabilize the pension fund.

Support legislation that would end binding arbitration for public sector labor disputes

and/or support a cap on mandatory arbitration awards.

Repeal the portion of the Triborough Amendment that requires automatic salary step

increases to be paid to public employees after labor contracts expire.

Support the elimination of the state’s Gap Elimination Adjustment (GEA) that has

withheld a total of more than $1 billion in state aid due Long Island schools.

Support school, special district and municipal consolidation measures.

Partner with Energeia to support legislation to establish a single election day of

voting for all special districts (fire, sanitation, library, water, etc.) on Long Island.

Support ethics reforms and campaign finance reforms as corruption in all levels of

government hurts the region’s business climate.

Taxes and Regulatory Policies

Advocate for a more equitable share of federal and state government funding as our

updated Balance of Payments Report shows Long Islanders send $28 billion more to

Albany and Washington, D.C. in tax revenues than we receive in state and federal aid

and benefits in return.

Support efforts to simplify the federal tax code in a way that would lower rates across

the board and reform the “alternative minimum tax,” while opposing efforts to cap or

eliminate federal income tax deductions for state and local taxes and mortgage

interest as it would inequitably impact our region.

Support permanent reinstatement of various federal tax benefits, including research

and development credits, bonus depreciation, domestic manufacturing and green

energy.

Support broad based federal and state tax relief measures to modernize business,

make our tax structure more competitive, lower costs on businesses and keep New

Yorkers from leaving the state.

Support a 2% cap on state spending growth.

Eliminate the New York State estate tax.

Support making New York's energy costs more competitive and lower energy bills by

further accelerating the phase-out of the 18-A utility assessment and oppose any new

or increased energy taxes and assessments.

Cut the federal and New York State capital gains taxes to incentivize businesses to

locate here and reward savings and investment as we have one of the highest

combined rates on the top marginal tax rate in the country.

Advocate for payment of past due real property tax refund judgments to Nassau

County commercial property owners.

Support legislation to move tax assessment responsibility from Nassau County to the

towns and cities in Nassau County as is done in Suffolk County.

Support a reduction in the Patient Services Assessment, a portion of HCRA taxes

used to fund bad debt and charity care as the Affordable Care Act has decreased the

need to subsidize care with this tax.

Reduce federal and state corporate tax rates.

Oppose any additional federal and state taxes, assessments, fees and unnecessary

regulations that hurt job growth and economic development.

Advocate for equitable state funding for pre-kindergarten education for Long Island

as New York City receives a disproportionate share.

Support making the New York State property tax cap permanent.

Successfully supported the extension for an additional four years of the 2%

property tax cap.

Secured hundreds of millions of state dollars in the “Transformative Investment

Program” to fund critical infrastructure projects on Long Island when funding had

only been proposed at the time for Upstate New York. The investment will

catalyze private investment, spur significant economic development and enhance

job creation efforts at our research institutions and at the Nassau Hub and the

Ronkonkoma Hub.

Secured passage of the Aviation Jobs Act that exempts general aviation aircraft

and its machinery or equipment from the state’s sales and use taxes, which will

boost the region’s aviation industry and create new jobs.

Helped lead the successful efforts of the Long Island Regional Economic

Development Council during Round V of this state competition.

Successfully supported the extension of Design Build construction authority for

two additional years, which allows the state to continue to accelerate project

delivery schedules, reduce project costs, create jobs and fully engage private

sector efficiencies in the development of public infrastructure projects.

Successfully opposed federal efforts to cap or eliminate federal income tax

deductions for state and local taxes and mortgage interest.

Produced key studies and analyses through the LIA Research Institute, which

included the “Balance of Payments” report showing the disparity between what

Long Island gives to the state and federal governments and what it receives back;

the “Journey to Work” study demonstrating the number of commuters from Long

Island to New York City and its concomitant economic impact; the “New York

State Property Tax Cap” report revealing what the region’s property taxes would

look like if the 2% cap were not extended; and the “Minimum Wage” analysis

indicating the pros and cons of a potential increase in the state’s mandated wage.

Fostered the growth of the LIA’s Women’s Collaborative to assist Long Island

businesswomen and the LIA’s Young Professionals Committee to help nurture the next

generation of business leaders on Long Island.

Supported additional funding allocated to expand sewer capacity throughout Long Island

to allow for more mixed-used and transit-oriented development projects.

Supported the establishment and implementation of Start-Up NY to spur the growth of

high-tech startup companies on Long Island and shape the future of Republic Airport and

convened a conference with state officials and the real estate community to advocate for

the redevelopment of Republic Airport.

Advocated publicly for continued approvals and progress for specific rental and mixed-

use developments in both Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

Supported the establishment of the New York State Center for Clean Water Technology

at Stony Brook University’s Southampton campus and other clean water initiatives.

Supported increased state funding for education that helped reduce the impact of the Gap

Elimination Adjustment that withheld more than $1 billion in aid from Long Island’s

schools.

Supported the expansion of the New York State Innovation Venture Capital Fund in the

state budget from $50 million to $100 million to support technology commercialization.

Held dozens of committee meetings, programs and seminars to help our members stay

informed on federal, state and local matters impacting the business community.
