“We have a generational opportunity to establish a preeminent transportation hub enhancing the plane to train connectivity of our region’s flourishing airport in Islip to the LIRR station with the highest ridership in Suffolk County, as Amtrak continues to assess bringing its service there and planning moves forward for a state-of-the-art convention center which altogether will be a lightning bolt that electrifies Long Island’s economy.”
