Facts
Long Island is a world leader in technology development, home to several research campuses and laboratories including Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory. The largest industrial park on the East Coast is Hauppauge Industrial Park, with over 1,300 companies and 55,000 employees. The eastern end of the island is still largely agricultural. In the last quarter century, vineyards have come to replace many potato fields on the North Fork. Fishing continues to be an important industry in the South Fork.
