The estimated $9 million project includes the acquisition, construction, and equipping of a single-load 52,500-square-foot distribution facility with 15 dock doors, 50 automobile stalls, 34 box-truck stalls, and office space on Andrew Usky, Sr. Drive in the park.
The Herkimer County IDA offered certain incentives including real property tax abatement, sales-tax exemption, and mortgage-recording tax exemption.
