A Manufacturer Is Growing in Hauppauge With Some Public Help
Word out of Hauppauge is that a local manufacturer is putting together a sizable expansion, with the Suffolk County IDA stepping in to help make the numbers work. That kind of assist usually means property tax breaks or sales tax relief on equipment and construction, spread out over years, in exchange for the company staying put and growing here instead of somewhere else.
I do not have the details on which company or what they make, so I will not guess. If you want the specifics, Long Island Business News has the report on it.
Hauppauge has always been the working end of Smithtown, full of office parks and industrial buildings that most people drive past without a second look. But every time one of those companies expands instead of leaving, it says something about why they stay. If you are curious how Hauppauge fits into the wider town, take a look at /towns/.
