Jericho Plaza.

NEW YORK CITY- The board of the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency has given preliminary approval to online floral and gift distributor 1-800-Flowers.com for a package of development incentives to renovate 96,867 square feet of new office space at 2 Jericho Plaza in Long Island.

The IDA Board approved the package at a video conference meeting this month in response to an application from 1-800-Flowers.com indicating a possible move out of New York if it couldn't secure the tax incentives to renovate and lease the new space at 2 Jericho Plaza. The floral e-commerce retailer is seeking sales-tax exemptions of more than $500,000 and a 15-year payment in lieu of taxes agreement that would keep property taxes at their current level for 10 years followed by five years of 1.81 percent escalations.
