Doing Business in the Southern Tier
From www.steg.com
If the Northeast is where you want to expand or relocate your company, then Chemung County is the best place for you to do business.
Chemung County has over 500 acres of pre-permitted shovel-ready sites approved by the Build Now-NY Program and Empire Zone benefits that may improve your bottom line.
An abundant technology network and utility infrastructure is already in place that rivals major metropolitan areas. In fact, there is enough bandwidth in Chemung County to support 1,600 T-3 lines, as well as fiber, high-speed wireless and cable TV Internet access, and cellular services by providers. Chemung County Sewer Districts have an abundant capacity available to handle new industrial requirements well through the 21st century. The County has water districts serving each major population center that are all interconnected to provide redundant sources of public water to meet consumption, industrial processing, and/or fire suppression demands. New York State Electric and Gas (NYSEG) provides the community with an abundant source of reliable industrial power. Redundant sources of electric and natural gas are available for significant users.
Our strategic location offers easy access to major metropolitan areas in the Northeast, Midwest and Canada and has Interstate access and commercial air service. If you’re a fast-growth, high tech company, you’ll also benefit from the many idea-incubation, research and supercomputing facilities found at nearby Alfred, Cornell and Binghamton Universities, which partner with local companies to help meet their technology development and transfer needs.
Finally, our workforce is simply the best around. We have a large number of people with high-tech experience, as well as those trained in the trades and white-collar service industries. The one thing they all have in common is a strong work ethic. Graduates from the many colleges and universities nearby add to the workforce each year.
STEG (Southern Tier Economic Growth) has helped to attract and retain many global companies to Chemung County. We would welcome the opportunity to turn all of the features that we have to offer into benefits for your company. Visit their website at www.steg.com.
