Mission Statement
The Long Island Metro Business Association (LIMBA) is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life on Long Island by fostering public awareness and informed dialogue. Though we hold no regulatory authority, our commitment lies in addressing a diverse range of topics through our meetings, including transportation, education, energy, environment, infrastructure, local government, entertainment, scientific discovery, health, and sports. Serving as a vital communication bridge, LIMBA strives to connect various facets of Long Island living with its residents, ensuring that our community stays informed and engaged.
LIMBA also brings people and businesses together to grow, network, collaborate and be part of our growing community.
Transportation
Long Island MacArthur Airport
LIMBA has recommitted its resource of public awareness to one of the core objectives that we adopted many years ago. That objective is to keep Long Island MacArthur Airport viable. The people of this region once had a very useable facility at Islip but the participation of various airlines has eroded.Among the first things that can be done are:
- Signs at Ronkonkoma station must indicate that the station serves the airport. This will serve as constant reminder to the public that airport is there.
- A new terminal building must be built adjacent to the LIRR station. The current building can be re-purposed or used by passengers parking on the south side of the airport.
- The airport needs more choices of destinations.
- NYC airports are operating at, or near capacity, and they are inconvenient to access.
- Our airport can relieve that pressure while giving our citizens a more pleasant travel experience
