Road Improvement Project at Chadwick Bay Industrial Park
Mayville, NY -- Chautauqua County Executive Gregory J. Edwards announced today the receipt of a $1.3 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration to fund a major road improvement project in northern Chautauqua County.
"This money will allow the county to complete a critical road improvement project. Progress Drive serves major employers in the Chadwick Bay Industrial Park including Nestle Purina, Lorenzo International Inc., Captive Plastics/Grafco Industries, Allegany-Erie, Inc., Stericycle and Cliffstar Corporation," said Edwards. "This public investment will leverage additional private investment monies of $48 million and is expected to create 146 jobs as well as retain 1,981 existing jobs among these employers."
According to Chautauqua County Public Facilities Director George Spanos, the road project involves the reconstruction of 1.2 miles of Progress Drive between Middle Road and Werle Road, and safety improvements on the intersection of Progress Drive and Middle Road.
Edwards thanked County of Chautauqua Industrial Development Agency Director Bill Daly and Southern Tier West Regional Planning & Development Board Director Don Rychnowski and their staffs for their commitment to this project.
"I especially want to thank Tom Barnes at Southern Tier West for his persistence in securing these funds," Edwards said.
