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 />
