Action Long Island is devoted to addressing key issues that are affecting Long Island businesses and residents.

Here are some highlights of what our Task Forces are working on:

Housing & Development: Action Long Island supports AvalonBay at Huntington Station! AvalonBay at Huntington Station will bring $100 million in construction funds to Huntington's most economically-challenged community during this nation's worst economic downturn in decades. And when completed AvalonBay will bring over 360 families who could earn above $120,000 a year - with very few school children - families who will spend money for decades to come in Huntington Station's restaurants, shops and businesses. By choosing to live in Huntington Station, these families also will send a powerful message: this is a desirable community worth investing in and worth living in. AvalonBay is the very economic shot in the arm needed to revitalize Huntington Station. Finally, with 122 units of affordable workforce housing for families who could earn between $45,000 and $120,000 a year - most of it rental housing - AvalonBay will help stem the flight of young workers and senior citizens who can't find affordable housing in Huntington.

For these reasons, we urge the Town Board to vote for the Huntington Station Transit Oriented Development resoultion neede dto crate AvalonBay at Huntington Station.
Healthcare Reform Legislation Survey- The Healthcare Task Force has put together a survey to gauge interest for an exciting event we're planning focusing on Healthcare Reform Legislation.

LI Clean Energy Vision 2020 Feasability Study- The Action Long Island Energy & Environmental Task Force is excited to announce the start of a Long Island Clean Energy Vision 2020 feasability study which will test whether we can power Long Island through Conservation, Energy Efficiency, and Renewable Energy (C+E+R) by 2020. We are pleased to announce that various sponsorship opportunities related to the feasability study are available. In order to complete this vital study, we need to get as much financial support as we can. Aside from the sponsorship opportunities, we will gladly accept donations of all denominations. The larger the financial underwriting the more extensive the results.Click here to see the sponsorship opportunities
