Meet Rick Ammirati, President of the Holbrook Chamber of Commerce, Vice President of the MacArthur Business Alliance and SCAC Advisory Board Member, in this latest feature of “3 Questions With.”
🔹 What do you love most about your community?
The relationships I’ve curated and cultivated over the past 50 years, the connections, friendships and support system are priceless and are what make this community feel like home.
🔹 What are some of your chamber's initiatives or programs that you are most proud of?
The work we do continues to make Holbrook a stronger community for residents, families and local businesses.
One major accomplishment is the upcoming $12 million sewer project, which is set to begin in the Fall of 2026 and will help support future growth and infrastructure improvements for our downtown and surrounding areas.
We’re also very excited about acquiring a 4-acre park in the downtown area through the County, with completion anticipated around Fall 2028/Spring 2029. This project is an all inclusive/accessible park with a focus on supporting the autism & senior community, and will create new community space for residents to enjoy for generations to come.
Our Annual Carnival has been a Holbrook tradition for 31 years and continues to bring families, neighbors, and businesses together each year. We’re also proud of our holiday lighting program, ongoing road infrastructure improvements, and beautification projects that help make Holbrook a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family.
🔹 What does being a member of the Suffolk County Alliance of Chambers mean to you?
Being a member of the Suffolk County Alliance of Chambers means being part of a strong and proud association alongside so many outstanding sister chambers throughout the county.
The SCAC provides valuable information to the participants at our quarterly meetings. The programs offer opportunities to share ideas, discuss challenges, and work together to strengthen the business community across Suffolk County.
Serving on the SCAC Advisory Board has been especially rewarding, as I truly enjoy collaborating with fellow business leaders and chamber executives who are all passionate about supporting their communities and helping Long Island continue to grow and thrive.
