Small businesses drive our economy and enrich our communities. That’s why PSEG Long Island and Long Island Press are partnering to bring you Small Business Stars. This is a monthly feature in print, online, and on social media that celebrates the achievements of small businesses across Long Island and The Rockaways. Each month, we’ll highlight two businesses that have demonstrated a commitment to innovation, social responsibility, and energy efficiency in their operations.
March Small Business Star Nominees
For March, the focus is on Women-Owned Businesses. Here are the two nominees:
- Angela’s Bra Boutique from Farmingdale
- L.I. Salty Kids Cove from Patchogue
These women-owned businesses have embraced their talents and fostered strong communities through their work. Each organization has created spaces for women, families and the community at large. Their inclusive businesses and high-quality products and services have allowed them to thrive, even in challenging times. Their participation in PSEG Long Island’s Business First Program has provided valuable opportunities to give back to their business and flourish.
