These are a sample of upcoming projects on SI that will create thousands of construction jobs over the next several years. Currently none of these jobs are aimed at local residents.

As highlighted with Empire Outlets and the New York Wheel, hundreds of North Shore residents were accepted into union apprenticeships programs and have been able to provide an improved standard of living for their families.
