“As part of the exciting modernization of Belmont Park, Saratoga now adds to its storied history by hosting the 3rd leg of the Triple Crown,” Governor Hochul said. “It’s a win for horseracing and for the Capital Region to have the excitement and the ability to host the four-day Festival in June at America’s most historic track.

Warren County Leverages Enchanting Winter Offerings To Boost Spirits And Sales Tax Revenue

By Paul Post

 Warren County officials are counting heavily on Lake George winter attractions to boost declining sales tax revenue caused by ongoing national economic woes.

 Such income was running 10 percent ahead of last year’s numbers, but declined to 2.9 percent by the end of the third quarter. At the same time, inflation has forced up spending across the board, from higher salaries and retirement costs to rising fuel and utility expense.

 “It’s not sustainable,” county Budget Officer and Stony Creek Supervisor Frank Thomas said. “I think the economy is slowing. Interest rates are way up. People don’t have as much money as they would like.”

 About $5 million in funding requests for things such as paving projects and new vehicles were denied in the tentative $192 million, 2024 budget unveiled on November 3.

 Thomas, board of Supervisors Chairman Kevin Geraghty of Warrenburgh and new county Tourism Director Heather Bagshaw discussed such issues during a “State of the County” event held at the Park Theater in downtown Glens Falls with several dozen business and local government officials on hand.

Warren-Washington IDA Receives $4.7M Boost For Infrastructure Development

Posted onNovember 22, 2023

The Warren-Washington IDA is thrilled to announce that it has been awarded a $4.7 million grant from New York State to construct a sewer system and improve the water infrastructure at its shovel-ready Canalside Energy Park in Fort Edward.

“This is a game-changing development for bringing new businesses, jobs and economic growth to Washington and Warren Counties,” said IDA Chairman Dave O’Brien. “We are grateful to Gov. Hochul and Empire State Development for recognizing the potential in this Park and helping the IDA take it to the next level of readiness for prospective tenants. We also owe a great deal of gratitude to the team at the Lake George-Lake Champlain Regional Planning Board for joining with us to prepare our application and champion the attributes of this tremendous property. This was truly a regional effort that will have region-wide benefits for years to come.”

The Canalside Energy Park is an 80-acre, industrial-zoned site featuring two industrial buildings of 41,000 and 25,000 square feet, with considerable acreage for expansion and new construction. The Park has an on-site rail yard located next to a Class 1 rail line and the New York State Champlain Canal, and also features an extensive concrete tarmac, robust industrial power, fiber optic service, and extensive stormwater controls. The IDA acquired the Park — formerly the home of General Electric’s de-watering facility during the Hudson River dredging project  —  in January 2022 and is actively marketing it for agribusiness, industrial machinery manufacturing, renewable energy manufacturing, and other uses.

Posted onNovember 22, 2023
State and city officials took part in an October 20 ceremonial groundbreaking for the $4.5 million new Market Center on South Street Glens Falls.

By Paul Post

 Gregg Singer and Larissa Ovitt are bridging a gap in Glens Falls’ downtown revitalization, which took a giant leap forward with the long-anticipated groundbreaking for a $4.5 million Market Center on South Street. 

State and city officials tossed shovels full of dirt to mark the momentous occasion, the latest in a series of projects contributing to Hometown USA’s rebirth.

While dust was still settling, Singer and Ovitt welcomed guests to their new cozy business, Golden Monkey Lounge, directly across the street. They’ve spent more than a half-million dollars refurbishing the building near the west end of South Street, which is also home to a new Taco Kings Jalisco eatery. 

“The city wants to turn this into an event block,” Ovitt said. “We’re working on this building to make something that works in collaboration with everything that continues, not just across the street, but coming up South Street and downtown as a whole. It’s certainly very encouraging now that they’re running full speed ahead with the Market Center.”

Adirondack Thunder’s Record-Breaking Fan Turnout Spurs Boost For Local Businesses

Posted onNovember 22, 2023
Adirondack Thunder, a roughly $3 million operation that benefits the surrounding area amd businesses.

 By Paul Post

 The Adirondack Thunder averaged a franchise record 3,657 fans per game last year, boosting business for area firms that supply Cool Insuring Arena with food and beverage products.

 The team drew nearly a dozen sell-out crowds during its late-season drive to the ECHL’s Kelly Cup playoffs and based on early season-ticket sales, attendance is expected to reach another all-time high this year.

 That’s good news to firms such as Fitzgerald Brothers Beverages, and Argyle Brewing and Cooper’s Cave Ale companies along with advertisers such as Upstate Ford Dealers that reach more people as the team’s fan base grows.

 “Our main source of revenue for hockey is ticket sales,” said Jeff Mead, Cool Insuring Arena manager and Thunder general manager. “The more fans that come to the arena the more food, beverage and merchandise we sell and the more apt corporate partners are to support us. I’d love to see 3,800 average attendance this year. We’ve got a pretty good schedule with a lot of weekend home dates so I think that’s attainable.”

 Mead said he expects season ticket sales to reach 1,600, up from last year’s figure of 1,450. Ticket revenue accounts for 60 percent of the team’s income followed by corporate sponsors (30 percent) and food, beverage and merchandise sales (10 percent).

Crafting More Than Beer: Common Roots’ Bierhall & Barrel House Adds Breakfast Fare

Posted onNovember 22, 2023
Common Roots Brewing Company brings breakfast to the new Bierhall and Warehouse building. The $3.60M project on the south side of the Common Roots restaurant expands new opportunities.

By Paul Post

 Common Roots Brewing Company, best-known for its popular craft beer and ale, now helps people start their day right by serving up fresh coffee, roasted on site, and a selection of  tasty breakfast sandwiches.
The Café, open 7 a.m. to noon Monday to Friday, is located in the firm’s spacious new multi-purpose building, which Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado christened during recent ribbon cutting ceremonies.

 “We started roasting our own coffee because it’s an important ingredient for some of our beers like our Coffee Cup stout,” said Bert Weber, who co-owns Common Roots with his son, Christian. “It became kind of a progression after that. While we’re making coffee we thought it might be a nice way to introduce the public to this space. So we have a lot of people coming in now for coffee and an egg sandwich or breakfast burrito. It’s exposing the space to people who might see it as a nice place to have a celebration or party.”

 The new building, called Bierhall & Barrel House, is on the south side of Common Roots’ restaurant and brewery, at 58 Saratoga Avenue in South Glens Falls.

 The $3.6 million structure, aided by $450,000 in state economic development funding, can accommodate up to 200 people and has already hosted a wedding and a travel program about a local adventurer’s trek to the Himalayas in Nepal.

 “This gives us a lot of opportunities,” Weber said. “The acoustics are pretty good so we might use it as a live music venue at some point, too. It’s multi-functional. There’s a full kitchen so there’s a special menu for events like weddings, banquets and celebrations. When there’s no event going on, we can use it to handle overflow from the restaurant and serve the same menu that’s over there.”
