Hello From the Melville Chamber of Commerce

A new blog for my Half Hollow Hills neighbors from Mike DeLuise, President of the Melville Chamber of Commerce.

Our Half Hollow Hills neighborhood is a beautiful and pleasant community. Those of us who live here tend to forget that along with our comfortable homes, excellent schools, spacious parks and world class libraries our town is also host to a wide array of businesses that create the very heartbeat for the economy of Long Island.

The Melville Chamber represents hundreds of businesses of all sizes located in and around Half Hollow Hills. The Route 110 Corridor is home to many local, regional, national and international organizations. With one of the lowest unemployment rates in the nation and one of the highest standards of living we are truly gifted.

As good as things are no place is perfect. That is why organizations such as the Melville Chamber of Commerce exist. The business leaders of Long Island want to be good neighbors. As President of the Melville Chamber and a long time resident of Half Hollow Hills my job is to make our good life on Long Island even better.

The Melville Chamber represents hundreds of the businesses in our community. We also represent every individual who lives here. The Chamber tackles obstacles that may challenge the local quality of life. Challenges such as transportation, traffic, underemployment, student reach out and more. We are a volunteer organization doing what we can to make a positive impact.
