Erie County has spent and appropriated for future expenditures, millions of dollars to improve rail and road access and utility infrastructure at the project site with the goal of creating one of the largest commercial/ industrial parks, with tri-modal access and with pre-certified New York State tax incentives.  The project consists of the acquisition of approximately 9 acres of land purchased from the Buffalo and Erie County Industrial Land Development Corporation (“ILDC”) and the construction of a 151,200 sq. ft. industrial spec building.  The proposed project is in response to a public RFP issued by the ILDC.  As part of the RFP the building would be offered as a multi-tenant facility as there presently exists a demand for this type of space.
