Message of Support for Lloyoll Prefabs

Along with many in Queens County today, our thoughts are with Jonathan and Caralee Lloy, their family, and the staff of Lloyoll Prefabs as they deal with the unimaginable loss of their business from a fire early in the morning of April 30.

Lloyoll holds a special place in Queens County’s history — the Lloys were among the first dozen business owners to open a new business in the months after Resolute announced the closure of the Paper mill in Brooklyn.

Back in 2013, nearly a year after the Mill closed, Municipal staff asked Jonathan why he would choose to open a business in Queens County when there was such a huge loss. He said he saw potential: that the closing of the mill was an opportunity for the community to go a new way, and he wanted to be part of that.

Lloyoll has been an important part of our business community, and fittingly, their business was located in a warehouse at the Mill site. They have been part of an exciting reinvention of the Mill site, the growing local business community, and have made an impact that ripples across Queens, Canada, and even further with their innovative prefabricated homes.

Resilience and love for the community is part of the origin story of Lloyoll, and it is encouraging to read in their social media post their intention is to continue, to rebuild. To learn more, read here:  https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1awwwKMsJz/

They have an amazing spirit, and we wish them well and much success!
