Advocacy in Action

Enhancing Government Partnerships, Driving Economic Growth and Community Prosperity

The Nassau County Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors is dedicated to improving the political landscape and fostering strong collaborations that benefit our business community. By working together with Government leaders and key stakeholders, we can achieve significant growth and enhanced services for the workforce, creating a positive impact for everyone in Nassau County.

Understanding the Political Landscape

To establish and nurture a robust relationship with representatives from the local, state, and federal Government, it is crucial to understand the political landscape and history. By researching and familiarizing ourselves with the major players, their preferences, concerns, and past conflicts, we are better equipped to navigate potential challenges or opportunities.

What We Do

Researching the bigger picture and understanding how our county fits within the region and state provides us with valuable insights. This knowledge allows us to align our initiatives with broader state goals and work towards the betterment of our community in a larger context.

Current initiatives include:

Workforce Housing

Modern Public Transportation

Transportation is a key concern of the business community in Nassau County. Efficient movement of people and on-time delivery of goods and services is essential to keep area employers competitive.

As a top priority, we urge the County to continue its current expedited plans to develop auxiliary roadways as alternate routes toSR200/A1A in partnership and cooperation with the Transportation Planning Organization (TPO).

Streamlined Permitting Process for New and Existing Businesses

The Chamber supports a clear, concise, expedited and streamlined permitting process for new and existing businesses. There must be cooperation and effective communication among political subdivisions such as the City, Towns, County, and surrounding communities. It is important not to make decisions in isolation and to be aware of the regional impact of local decisions.

City and County government officials should consider functional consolidation to achieve improved administrative efficiency, streamlined processes, and elimination of duplication of administrative and regulatory functions.
