The LIA is working hard to ensure that current Long Islanders and future generations can afford to live and thrive here by addressing our region’s high cost of living and helping to stem the tide of people leaving Long Island.
LIA Acting President & CEO @StaceySikes spoke with @News12LI Long Island about this important issue and the economic impact of losing residents, including the loss of tax revenue and purchasing power that supports our local businesses and economy.

The LIA has released a new report, The Economic Impact of South Fork Wind and Sunrise Wind, examining the economic benefits these two major offshore wind projects are bringing to Long Island.
The LIA’s analysis finds that the construction of South Fork Wind and Sunrise Wind will generate more than $460 million in economic impact across Nassau and Suffolk Counties between 2022 and 2027 while supporting local jobs, businesses, suppliers and communities throughout our region.
“Long Island's future depends on having an energy system that is reliable, affordable, and capable of supporting continued economic growth,” said @StaceySikes, Acting President & CEO of the Long Island Association. “This study demonstrates that offshore wind is already delivering meaningful economic benefits for our region while contributing to a reliable energy grid.”
As Long Island’s energy needs continue to grow, the LIA will continue to advocate to strengthen our energy grid and positions our region for long term economic success.

For 100 years, the @LongIslandAssoc has championed the entrepreneurs, workers, and innovators who make our region exceptional.
It was an honor to recognize its legacy on the House Floor and to affirm what a century of progress has made clear: Long Island's greatest strength has always been its people.
Here's to a remarkable century of leadership, and to the work still ahead as we shape Long Island's next century. 🇺🇸
