PSEG Long Island recently gave a grant of $10,000 to the Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District to support local businesses, shopping and dining along Main Street. The Outdoor Commerce and Beautification grant funded the purchase of 15 giant lighted snowflakes (pictured above) that are hanging up and down Main Street in Port Washington for the holiday season.
“We are pleased to provide this beautification grant to support shopping, dining and tourism in Port Washington’s downtown,” said Veronica Isaac, manager of Customer and Community Partnerships at PSEG Long Island. “This grant was created for business groups to support their members with items to help them thrive. These beautiful snowflakes enhance the aesthetic of this robust downtown and will hopefully brighten the holidays for shoppers and visitors.”
“The Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District is honored to receive the Outdoor Commerce and Beautification grant from PSEG Long Island,” said Holly Byrne, executive director of the Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District. “This grant has allowed us to complete our inventory of holiday light fixtures, which will be used now and for years to come. The snowflake lights along the commercial corridor brighten the winter nights and celebrate the season for Port Washington residents and visitors alike. We are so grateful for this grant and for all the additional support PSEG Long Island gives to our businesses through grants and rebates. We look forward to continuing to partner with PSEG Long Island in the future.”
The PSEG Long Island Chamber Outdoor Commerce and Beautification grant program was created to support aesthetic enhancements and downtown improvement projects in municipalities. Since 2020, nearly $375,000 has been distributed across Long Island and the Rockaways. For additional information on how PSEG Long Island helps local businesses, visit: psegliny.com/inthecommunity/
