At last week’s annual meeting, the Commercial Industrial Brokers Society of Long Island (CIBS) recognized the industry’s best and brightest during their annual awards ceremony. Among this year’s honorees was the organizations legal counsel Peter L. Curry, Esq., a partner at Farrell Fritz, who was awarded the 2022 Achievement award for his longstanding work to strengthen CIBS and the commercial real estate industry on Long Island.
“Peter is a true advocate of our industry and his contributions to our organization have been considerable,” said CIBS President Daniel J.
