Lake Ontario Industrial Park is a case in point. Anchor Glass Container Corp. It took two or three years to get funding for water, sewer and storm sewers. Then a road had to be built for access into the park. Being located in the Oswego Economic Development Zone means benefits for the tenants, including free city water for three years and low rates for water after that. Electric and gas discounts are available from Niagara Mohawk, and so are tax credits for investments and employment.
Local agencies offer special financing options as well.
So far there are no tenants. Several businesses took options on the park, but changed their plans. One built in Scriba. Another, a Canadian company, lost a major contract due to that country's economy. Still another took several options, but has not made a decision on whether to build.
