More upgrades at Rotterdam industrial park By Spotlight Staff As of Wednesday, January 23, 2013 -1 p.m.
#ROTTERDAM — The Galesi Group is cooking up enhancements to a former state bakery and warehouse in the Rotterdam Corporate Park in a project that is hoped to spur economic development.
#The Schenectady Metroplex Development Authority on Wednesday, Jan. 16, announced Galesi Group had committed $2 million to upgrade the 260,000-square-foot facility known as Building 14. Extensive renovations are planned to include replacing the roof, installing new truck dock canopies, exterior painting, new siding and upgrading the building’s interior. County officials are hoping renovations will spur additional companies to move in to the remaining space available.
#Schenectady County Legislature Chairwoman Judy Dagostino applauded redevelopment of a “key building” in Rotterdam.
#“The Rotterdam Corporate Park is the source of many jobs and opportunities for county residents,” Dagostino said in a statement. “This investment of $2 million will help us to continue our effort to attract more tenants and more jobs to the former state bakery building.”
#The building had served as a bakery and warehouse for the state Office of General Services, and operations stopped in 1995. Metroplex has helped OGS surplus the building and prepare it for sale.
#Three companies are now in the warehouse: TR America, a major distributor of construction parts and equipment; J&B Importers, Inc., a large distributor of bicycle parts; and Distribution Unlimited, a third-party logistics company owned by the Galesi Group.
#Metroplex Chairman Ray Gillen said renovations would provide space for new tenants. The building has rail service and several truck docks. The sale of the building is expected to be finalized by March 2014.
#“This $2 million investment is part of our commitment to work with Schenectady County and the Town of Rotterdam to continue to attract new jobs and new companies to the largest business park in the Capital Region,” David Buicko, chief operating officer of Galesi Group, said in a statement.
#Metroplex entered into a master lease agreement with FG Rotterdam Holdings LLC, an affiliate of the Galesi Group, in 2008. The agreement saw Galesi making lease payments totaling $1 million to Metroplex, which it used to purchase the building from the state. Galesi then had the option through the lease to purchase the building before 2017.
and Distribution Unlimited, a third-party logistics company owned by the Galesi Group.

So in other words Galesi needs 2 million dollars to fix up his buildings and the taxpayer gets to pay for it.

The park should be renamed the Galesi Corporate Empire Center.
Convieniently located next to the Golub, corporate empire center, Headed by Neil Golub, of the Metroplex, who subsidizes his own empire through metroplex, which he aso heads, and also works hand in hand with the Galesi corporate thieves who are bankrupting the county.
If Galesi pays lease money to Metroplex, which it uses to purchase the building from the State, why didn't Galesi just buy it directly? What is the point of involving the taxpayers? This reminds me of that scam where somebody at a cash register starts asking a naive clerk to hand them back their twenty and they will give them different bills, etc. and they end up swindling the cashier out of all the money and then some.

If this is true....why is the METROPLEX/GILLEN and JDAGO taking credit for it?
Or is this just more FREE PR for METROPLEX/GILLEN, JDAGO and GALESI coutesy of the gazetto?

Government Consolidation and Mergers: The Executive Budget provides for a series of consolidations and mergers to make government more efficient and save taxpayer dollars: Consolidate all of the state’s Medicaid administration activities into the Department of Health Transfer the Homeless Housing Assistance Program – which finances construction of housing units for homeless individuals – from the Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance to Homes and Community Renewal to give affordable housing developers a single point of contact and oversight Merge the Office of the Welfare Inspector General into the Office of the Inspector General. Merge the Governor’s Office of Employee Relations with the Department of Civil Service to create a single State Employee Workforce Development Center Coordinate and consolidate public health and environmental labs functions which are currently operated by five agencies. The Department of Health and the Department of Civil Service will adopt a common strategy for purchasing health insurance and medical services that could save taxpayers $50 million annually. Consolidate disparate state agency print facilities into designated anchor facilities, based on proximity and common printing capability. This will reduce the number of print shops by 63 percent (from 24 to 9), and improve services and consistency while saving taxpayer dollars. Consolidate warehouse functions, beginning with new policies to ensure a sound and reliable inventory system.
