# New York Funds Long Island Community Upgrades

On October 29, 2026, New York State announced nearly $13 million in community investments on Long Island, including $12.5 million for six projects involving facility renovations, healthcare infrastructure and equipment, workforce and nutrition programs, firefighter radio equipment, accessibility improvements, and recreational facilities. The announcement identifies no solicitation, contractor award, or procurement deadline; the funding signals potential follow-on purchasing and construction needs rather than an open contract opportunity today.

- The projects span facility upgrades, clinical equipment, accessible recreation facilities, and emergency communications, creating possible needs for construction, renovation, equipment, and related services.
- Contractors should not treat the announcement as a solicitation. They can identify the funded recipient organizations and Deer Park Union Free School District as potential sources of future project or purchasing information.
- The three highlighted $3 million investments support Cerebral Palsy Association of Nassau County facility renovations, Deer Park High School Aquatic Center reconstruction and accessibility work, and Long Island Select Healthcare infrastructure and clinical equipment modernization.
