Direct Feedback

What Business Leaders Say

Hear from the executives, operations directors, and plant managers who chose Herkimer County as the launchpad for their commercial growth.

"The Herkimer County IDA did not hand us a brochure and walk away. John and his team were in the room with us, resolving utility questions, meeting with town officials, and crafting a PILOT package that protected our capital during critical startup months."


Marcus Reynolds

VP of Operations, Advanced Assembly Corp

"Our biggest hurdle in previous locations was workforce turnover and congested distribution corridors. In Herkimer County, we have lower absenteeism, highly dedicated technicians, and direct Thruway access that lets our freight reach NYC and Boston daily."


Elena Lopez

Director of Supply Chain, Logistics Partners

"Finding 50+ acres with existing 3-phase power and heavy municipal water ready at the property line is rare in New York. Schuyler Business Park gave us exactly what we needed without the 18-month delay of bringing utilities to raw land."
