Long Island Builders Institute

This alarming chart published recently in Newsday tracks the increasing price of single-family homes on Long Island. These record-setting median sale prices show that it is necessary for our region to increase the variety of housing options we have available.

This week was the annual fishing trip of our charitable partner, @LIHBC_. Together, home builders and members of the trade were able to have fun while raising money to give back to the community.

Last week, LIBI went to Albany for our Annual Lobby Day. Here are some photos of our members with some of our local representatives at the Capitol.

Today, Brookhaven Town Supervisor Dan Panico joined LIBI CEO Mike Florio & President Martin Dettling, as well as labor leaders and builders to announce a historic agreement that implements safety training standards on large construction sites.

Today, Newsday published an article showcasing LIBI's recent merger with PRO NY. Together we can elevate our advocacy efforts for the building and remodeling industry, such as reducing lengthy wait times for building permits. #libi #newsday #buildingandconstruction #advocacy

A modernized Belmont Park is critical to horse racing which is an important piece of LI’s regional economy and will create thousands of construction jobs here. We applaud @GovKathyHochul for making this a priority in her budget. newsday.com/beta/news/regi…

We applaud @GovKathyHochul for her focus and determination to address the housing crisis across the state, especially on LI, and look forward to working with her, along with our local officials and communities, on impactful solutions.

As we kick off 2023, we’d like to welcome our new CEO @Michael_Florio

Many thought the $2.6B LIRR 3rd Track project could not be done. Well, its done. How bout them apples? Kudos to @GovKathyHochul, @MTA, @LIRR, our @RightTrackforLI partners - @LIUNA @LongIslandAssoc & @RauchFoundation - and countless others who saw it through.

@GovKathyHochul and @MTA’s release of these design RFPs is a huge milestone in the efforts to #FixPenn and fix it fast. There’s only a small window of time before Metro North trains will service Penn Station, and we need to fix Penn now. - LIBI CEO Mitch Pally

In 2019, #PennStation served 600,000 commuters every weekday. It was built to handle 200,000. Fixing Penn is long overdue. We commend @GovKathyHochul and the @MTA for the release of the first of many RFPs and support the efforts to Fix Penn Fast! - LIBI CEO Mitch Pally

We’re making progress towards a #BetterPennStation. @GovKathyHochul and @MTA released the RFPs for the design of the new Penn Station – one that will improve service, support transit justice, and serve hundreds of thousands of commuters. Let’s #FixPenn now! -LIBI CEO Mitch Pally
