Michael Posillico

Michael Posillico was barely out of college when he joined the family engineering firm—Posillico Construction—and almost immediately showed his muster. The Clemson University grad got started right away by working in the family firm’s estimating department before rising to become project manager—a pivotal promotion for the young Posillico, because it put him on track to work on important jobs, such as the nighttime reconstruction of the Long Island Expressway, and construction of the Northern State Parkway and Meadowbrook Parkway Interchange. Little did we know it, but Posillico was improving traveling conditions for us all. But his focus wasn’t solely on local roads. Eventually, Posillico’s portfolio of projects expanded to include environmental remediation projects and the restoration of contaminated waterfront properties. By transforming contaminated waterfront areas into burgeoning communities, Posillico is investing in the future of this delicate Island so future generations have vibrant places to live and work. Posillico is also president of the Farmingdale College Foundation and works tirelessly to ensure the Posillico Foundation—the firm’s charitable arm—continues to improve the lives of each and every resident who calls this Island home.
