M&M Digital Printing Moves To More Spacious Location As The Business Grows

Posted onOctober 17, 2022

In response to rapid growth, 10-year-old M&M Digital Printing has moved to a spacious new location, giving the firm three times more room to work with.

The business was previously housed in the Seeley Office Systems building, 95 Broad St. in Glens Falls, and began operating out of the former Community, Work & Independence building on Upper Glen St., Queensbury, on Aug. 26.

“At the old location we were packed in like sardines, on top of each other,” said Matt Flint Sr., company owner-founder. “We only had 950 square feet. Here we definitely have room to grow. There’s more space and it makes the work flow easier. Buying capability also opens up because we have more warehouse space. At the old location we could only stock so much paper, which means we had to pay more for smaller volumes. Now we can buy larger volumes, so that brings the cost down.”

A former Web Graphics production manager, Flint launched out on his own after tiring of the corporate world. He and his son, Matt Flint Jr., the operations manager, are two of the firm’s four employees. 

M&M’s small size and state-of-the-art equipment gives it the flexibility to turn jobs around quickly, which has fueled unprecedented sales.

Business Report: Employers Deal With ‘Quietly Quitting’

Posted onOctober 17, 2022
Rose Miller, SPHR, area HR thought leader, speaker, writer.

By Rose Miller

There is a term floating around the TikTok work circles. I like to follow TikTok’s workplace trends discussions because I get to hear what employees are talking about. Similar to the way restaurateurs follow Yelp, some employers follow social media such as TikTok, Reddit, and Twitter to hear what the work force is saying about their employers and their work environments. 

There is a phrase called “quietly quitting” and it is catching on quickly. 

What I found as a surprising discovery was that the term doesn’t mean they are actually leaving their jobs. Instead, they have decided not to take their jobs too seriously. Young professionals are stating they reject the idea of going above and beyond in their careers. The idea is to stay at the company but focus time on things they do outside of work. They have decided to pass on promotions, pay and titles.

They are setting some firm boundaries like refusing to work overtime. They insist on leaving right at five. Others advertise the fact that they will only do enough to get by. Unlike their senior managers, they don’t want their careers to be confused with personal identifies. 

Remember these are young professionals and it’s not uncommon for younger employees to, at first, refuse to climb the corporate ladder, only to end up changing their minds later. Gaining a mortgage, spouse and children can change perspectives and priorities in a drastic way. 

I’m a ‘70s girl and I can remember my generation saying not to trust anyone over 40 years old. It was a time when young people were “anti-establishment” only to become the establishment later in their lives.

Warrensburg Dealership Is Part Of AgPack Program That Give Farmers Special Benefits

Posted onOctober 17, 2022

The idea of farmers helping farmers find a return on their truck investment resulted in the creation of AgPack. Seven years later, AgPack benefits to farmers and growers could quickly add up to nearly $30,000 in real operational savings, say those in the program. 

Krystal Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CDJR) at 3940 Main St., Warrensburg, recently completed the stringent requirements to become a local Certified Agriculture Dealership making them eligible to offer AgPack to their farm and grower customers.

AgPack is a collaboration of agricultural companies who, collectively, organized a specialized package of discounts and rebates on things producers have to buy anyway. 

The process calls for a farmer to purchase or lease a qualifying farm truck or SUV from a Certified Agriculture Dealerships. In doing so, they have to  verify their agricultural enterprise with the dealer. Once the dealer has notified AgPack, the farmer or rancher will be contacted by an AgPack representative within a week to begin redemptions 

“Believe it, or not, AgPack is free with the purchase or lease of a qualifying new, or pre-owned, farm truck, or SUV, from a Certified Agriculture Dealership,” said Pat Driscoll, CEO of Certified Agriculture Dealers/AgPack. “Plus, AgPack can be stacked on top of any incentive, rebate, fleet or VIP program the local dealer can offer.”

“More than anything, farmers and ranchers want—need—the most durable vehicle money can buy,” added Driscoll. “We know because we’re ranchers and farmers, too. And that’s what we want. Our focus is to make sure our agriculture family gets an honest to goodness return on their truck investment.”

Businesses Can Participate In Free Online Cybersecurity Summit Run By U.S. SBA

Posted onOctober 17, 2022

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) announced that it will host a free, virtual National Cyber Summit on Oct. 26 to help introduce American small businesses to tools, tips, and resources to bolster their cybersecurity infrastructure in addition to exploring new trends and challenges entrepreneurs are increasingly facing.

“America’s small businesses are pivoting to digital technologies and online strategies at historic rates to reach new customers and improve operational efficiencies, but that pivot has also exposed them to significant new threats from cyberattacks,” said SBA Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman. 

“Our SBA team has mobilized to support them against these potentially disruptive threats with cybersecurity resources and trainings across our resource partner networks, as well as through our recently launched Small Business Digital Alliance. Launching the SBA’s first cybersecurity summit will help us build on that work and ensure America’s 33 million small businesses and innovative startups can pivot safely online and grow resilient businesses.”

“As our small businesses pivot more and more into cyber space to expand their market, we want to insure that they connect effectively and safely,” said SBA Regional Administrator Marlene Cintron.  “This is a timely and responsive effort for businesses trying to regain and improve market share.”

“We are energized to bring actual solutions to the table for America’s small businesses, which continue to inspire us all with hope and resilience,” said SBA Associate Administrator of the Office of Entrepreneurial Development Mark Madrid.

The summit comes on the heels of the recently announced awardees for the SBA’s new pilot program created to help emerging small businesses steel themselves against cyberattacks.

Renua Energy Works With Solar Projects, Installs Electric Vehicle Charging Stations

By Paul Post

Dave Byrne’s deployment to Iraq and Kuwait gave him a first-hand appreciation for the need to promote energy independence and bolster national security through solar as a renewable resource.

“Without any formal business training or experience, I started working for a Hudson Valley-based solar company as a residential installer and worked my way up from there,” said Byrne, a West Point graduate. “Many years later, I decided to start Renua Energy, as I saw a need for certain customer-centric solutions and I enjoy building from the ground up.”

In 2018, he left his day job and threw himself full time into the fledging venture with just a handful of employees. Today, the South Glens Falls-based business has 14 workers and has successfully designed and permitted 31 community solar projects across upstate New York that offset the production of nearly 6.2 million tons of harmful carbon emissions.

In short, community solar is a large array of solar panels at an offsite location that allows customers to access such power without installing panels on their homes. Developers build and operate the projects, and energy delivery companies like National Grid purchase and distribute credits generated by the projects to participating customers.

Hospitality Group’s Projects On Glen And Park Streets Will Add Vitality To Downtown

Posted onSeptember 19, 2022
Ben Miller, operations manager for Park Street Hospitality, says the building at 126 Glen St. in Glens Falls will eventually be renovated, but may soon have a tenant on an interim basis.
Glens Falls Business Journal

By Christine Graf

A local business has plans in the works to further strengthen Glens Falls as vital part of the North Country economic engine.

Business owner and preservationist Elizabeth Miller recently purchased 126 Glen St. for $845,000. A former Saratoga Springs teacher, she is the owner of Doty Machine Works in Fort Edward and Miller Mechanical in Glens Falls. She has already invested millions of dollars to renovate several historic properties in the city including Park Theater and 15 Park St.

Her newest property at 126 Glen St. was built in 1890 and was the former home of Look TV. The 11,500-square-foot building will require a significant investment, and her property development company is working with city officials to apply for funding through Restore New York. The Restore New York Communities Initiative provides municipalities with financial assistance for the revitalization of commercial and residential properties. 

According to Miller’s son and business partner, Ben Miller, operations manager for Park Street Hospitality, “The building needs a lot of work. It needs a similar amount of work to what the building at 15 Park St. has needed. We don’t have firm plans for a full gut and renovation right now. We have a tenant who is interested in renting the ground floor in as-is condition and putting a business in there.

With a goal of expanding and enhancing services to existing and prospective new businesses and fully capitalizing on opportunities at its Canalside Energy Park in Fort Edward, the board of directors of the Warren & Washington Industrial Development Agency appointed Charles R. “Chuck” Barton as its first chief executive officer. 

The IDA began considering such an appointment earlier this year as interest in its services and the park have been steadily growing and requiring greater levels of staff attention, officials said.  IDA Chairman David O’Brien, town of Hampton supervisor in Washington County, has been serving as de facto CEO for several years in a volunteer capacity. But he and his fellow board members felt that a full-time chief executive could take the organization to new levels of success. 

“The opportunities for the IDA to help retain and expand existing local businesses and help new businesses start or relocate here have never been greater than in today’s economic climate, and we are thrilled that Chuck will lead us into this new era of service to our region,” O’Brien said.

“Chuck’s vast experience in business management, finance, and manufacturing gives him a deep understanding of the challenges faced by companies today and how the IDA can best serve them. Chuck also brings to his new role a strong commitment to community service in general and economic development in particular, as evidenced by his service as a volunteer board member with our IDA and before that with EDC Warren County.”

“Regional cooperation and coordination on economic development are essential to our counties’ long-term success, and I can say from personal experience that Chuck epitomizes that collaborative spirit,” said Jim Siplon, president of EDC Warren County. “It was my pleasure to work with Chuck when he was a board member at EDC, and I look forward to collaborating with him in this exciting new role.”
