The Brookhaven Industrial Group Assn. expands

According to the board of directors for The Brookhaven Industrial Group Association, they recently expanded their organization, encompassing a larger geographical area in the Town of Brookhaven, along with bringing together a larger number of businesses with a shared vision. Established in 2004, the Sills Industrial Park Association (S.I.P.A.) began as a small group of business owners looking to improve upon some conditions that needed drastic improvements within their industrial park. These business owners got together and incorporated into S.I.P.A. and began to set goals and target problems they were facing including ongoing vandalism; poor road conditions; dangerous traffic situations; problems with truck traffic and vehicle racing; unsightly garbage issues; and the proposed building of the Caithness Power Plant. After achieving some of the many goals that helped to improve the industrial park, the group decided that they were going to expand the organization to encompass a larger geographical area (thus their new name Brookhaven Industrial Group Association). This expanded association seeks to bring new businesses into the organization in an attempt to create continued strength and volume when dealing with cooperative buying; potential vendor discounts; inter-company purchasing and matters involving the Town of Brookhaven as it affects their businesses. As they continue to embark on this expansion and target new goals for the association, they are also in the process of having a new election for the Board Of Directors and appointment of association officers.
