BROOKHAVEN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY CLOSES ON KOSHER FOOD DISTRIBUTOR’S EXPANSION IN HOLTSVILLE
FARMINGVILLE, NY (June 11, 2024) – Frederick C. Braun III, Chairman of the Town of Brookhaven Industrial Development Agency (IDA) announced that the Agency has closed on an agreement to provide economic development incentives for the planned expansion of a kosher grocery distributor in Holtsville. The closing took place on June 6, 2024.
The benefits, approved by the IDA at its March 26, 2024, meeting, will assist Nassau Provisions Kosher Food LLC, and its real estate affiliate, 885 Waverly LLC, to purchase and equip an underutilized 50,000-square-foot building at 885 Waverly Avenue in Holtsville. The company says it needs the space to house a pending acquisition that will generate an anticipated 40-60 percent increase in sales.
Nassau Provisions also owns a 125,000-square-foot facility near the project at 700 Furrows Rd, in Islip town, which the company uses as its headquarters and is retaining.
The cost of the expansion is estimated at $9.96 million. The company, which currently employs 103 in Islip, expects to add 17 new positions at the Brookhaven site.
Established in Freeport in 1984 by Scott Horowitz, Nassau Provisions specializes in the wholesale distribution of groceries, and frozen and refrigerated foods to the retail market throughout the tri-state area and beyond, serving supermarkets, restaurants, convenience stores, and delis.
“The company’s growth has been impressive and we are pleased to assist them as they expand into the Town of Brookhaven,” Braun said.
