While Islip enjoys a comfortable, suburban lifestyle, rich in cultural and recreational resources, we're by no means a small town. Our affluent population is larger than that of Pittsburgh or St. Louis, and includes a highly skilled and educated workforce. Whether your business is retail, wholesale, white collar or manufacturing, Islip is an excellent location for doing business.
