May 17, 2023 Amityville

Moriches Field Brewing Company received $18,750 to revitalize an empty downtown space.

(Cheers to that.)

Revitalization grants are just one of the ways we help businesses on Long Island and in the Rockaways. For Moriches Field Brewing Company, a grant from our economic development program was a perfect fit to help them renovate a previously vacant property. A discount through our Vacant Space Revival Program saved them more than $4,000 on their electric bills, and rebates for upgrading to LED lighting are keeping them saving month after month.

Helping revitalize our Island, one business at a time, is something we’re proud to be part of and something definitely worth celebrating.

The event starts at the High School at 9 A.M. Volunteers will walk to the Preserve and spend about a half hour removing bags, trash and other visible debris. This project enhances the efforts of DPW to maintain this lovely area.

With a score featuring more than 20 of Summer’s classic hits including “Love to Love You Baby,” “Bad Girls” and “Hot Stuff,” this electric experience is a moving tribute to the voice of a generation.

How A Company Achieves a 99.6% Customer Satisfaction Rating?

Hard work is the answer to that question. Most business owners find it challenging to make every customer happy, especially if they service many customers. It takes hard work and a special staff that is committed to achieving these results. The staff must be able to work well together to make sure all customers are taken care of and all issues are resolved. Most problems originate from issues with communication. Whether the communication is between the customer and staff, or managers and the workforce, communication is key in resolving issues quickly & effectively. When customers feel they are getting the runaround, or they find it hard to talk to someone who can help them and answer their questions to resolve their problems, it makes the company as a whole look unorganized and unprofessional. When a company is able to bridge a direct line of communication for the customer with managers, staff, and the workforce it allows the customers to get the answers they require. The key to customer satisfaction success is to provide top-quality products at the best price possible while providing quality service and quick communication for customers. Unifi ed Home Remodeling has been doing this for over 30 years! With over 40 employees, many managers, and an active owner, Unifi ed is able to give customers the experience they need from a company to feel comfortable. Unifi ed has set the standard for customer service in the home remodeling industry for years! If you need to upgrade your home there is only one company to call. For a FREE estimate to upgrade your windows, doors, siding, roofing, or masonry work visit www.UnifiedHomeRemodeling.com or call 888-631-2131, and one of Unifi ed’s Experts will be there to help you.
