GGLDC - Western New York Science, Technology and Advanced Manufacturing Park Capital<br />
(X544)<br />
April 17, 2012<br />
This will bring the total acreage that Grantee owns to nearly 150 acres. Upon<br />
acquisition, GGLDC and consultants CH2MHill and Clark Patterson Lee will begin design<br />
and engineering to accommodate the first one million square feet of manufacturing<br />
space. The consultants also need to complete a number of environmental, archeological<br />
and regulatory-issue studies. The Grantee will aggressively market the site and<br />
marketing consultants will be selected, with the goal of attracting the first company to<br />
the park.<br />
CH2M HILL, located in Moon Township, PA, is a multi-disciplinary consultant that has<br />
been involved in economic analysis, financial benchmarking, project strategy, and<br />
oversight in previous phases of STAMP. The firm was selected based on its worldwide<br />
experience with similar large- scale development projects, including the Luther Forest<br />
development in Saratoga County.<br />
Clark Patterson Lee Associates (“CPL”) located in Rochester, is the Grantee’s main<br />
engineering firm. CPL has proven to be a valuable resource and partner in the last<br />
several of GGLDC’s park developments, and has focused on land use actions,<br />
comparable sites benchmarking, engineering, and environmental aspects in previous<br />
phases of STAMP.<br />
Conservation Connects, headquartered in Alexander, NY, will focus on Federal wetlands<br />
permits and other environmental issues. The Grantee has previously worked with this<br />
firm.<br />
Phillips Lytle is a full-service law firm with offices throughout New York State. It will be<br />
the legal consultant on the project.<br />
National Grid (“NG”), headquartered in Syracuse, is the primary electric utility in<br />
Genesee County, and serves over 3.4 million customers in New York and New England.<br />
NG is providing a grant for the project and has been an active partner with GGLDC in its<br />
park developments.<br />
Results – The goal is to develop an advanced manufacturing industrial park to market to<br />
prospective companies. Currently no other site venue is available in the immediate<br />
area.<br />
The project (Phase III) is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2012. Full build-out<br />
of the park over 20 years is expected to create an estimated 9,330 new jobs by 2032.<br />
These projections are based on an economic impact analysis prepared by BBP &<br />
Associates, economic consultants, based in Annapolis, MD.<br />
