Newsday reports that SYSCO Food services will try and build a headquarters/warehouse facility in Yaphank. Does NYA have any possibility of servicing it?

The 65-acre parcel is north of the Long Island Expressway and west of the William Floyd Parkway.Based on the location, I would say it's doubtful.

I know I am going out on a limb, but that tunnel would be needed to make any heavy freight operations (intermodal or transloading) viable in NYC and LI.
