Heading into 2016, the construction market is going in the right direction: up.
“Long Island tends to lag New York City by six to 18 months, and New York City has ramped up,” said Carl Oliveri, partner and construction practice leader for Grassi & Co. CPAs in Jericho. “We’re definitely seeing the trickle-down effect to Long Island in new construction and spending.”
