The Ticonderoga Commerce Park has a New Tenant - Press Release

 In 2001, the Essex County I.D.A. and the Essex County Development Corporation worked with a bank consortium to construct a 25,000 square foot “spec” building at the park. “The availability of a turn-key warehouse/manufacturing facility increases the opportunity to attract business and industry to the area.  This building was constructed as an economic development tool to help generate employment opportunities,” stated Robert Dedrick, Town of Ticonderoga Supervisor.

 Craig Merrell, (owner of Dockside Landing Marina in Hague, and Dockside Landing Marine Center in Lake George) plans a new business venture in the Ticonderoga Commerce Park.  “The 25,000 square foot building is ideal for boat storage (winter and summer), but we also plan to offer full marine maintenance and repair services, as well as new and used boat sales.  This will be the regions’ only heated storage facility, and a big one at that.  Our customers invest a lot of money in their boats and many just don’t feel comfortable leaving them out in the cold all winter.  The close proximity (less than 3 miles) of the Ticonderoga Commerce Park to Lake George and Lake Champlain is ideal, providing easy access to both popular boating destinations.”  As a result of this new venture, approximately 5-10 new jobs will be created.

 Dale French, Chairman of the Essex County Board of Supervisor’s noted “In this current climate of economic instability this certainly is a welcome commercial addition to Essex County and the Town of Ticonderoga. A number of new jobs will be created and boat sales and service will not only be a convenience for local boat owners, but the anticipated revenues will be a big boost for the local economy”.

 Anthony Glebus, Chairman of the Essex County I.D.A.  said, “We have been aggressively marketing the building to find the right company which would create good jobs in the County. I am very pleased to have worked with Mr. Merrell on his expansion to the Ti Commerce Park.  The Essex County I.D.A. is committed to increasing the awareness of the County as a viable place to do business and offers a qualified work force.”

 Niagara Mohawk became the first tenant at the Ti Commerce Park, constructing an 8,400 square foot service center in 2000, which retained and created several new jobs.  The Ticonderoga Commerce Park has one road front lot remaining for development.
