BATAVIA, NY – A project submitted to the Genesee County Economic Development Center is projected to generate $18.7 million in community benefits.
The Genesee County Economic Development Center (GCEDC) board of directors will consider an initial resolution at its August 7 meeting for Mega Properties, Inc.’s proposed construction of a 165,000 square foot distribution center at the Gateway II Corporate Park in the town of Batavia.
Mega Properties, Inc.’s proposed $11 million distribution center has pledged to create 28 full-time equivalent (FTE) positions.
Mega Properties, Inc. is requesting a sales tax exemption of $523,328, a mortgage tax exemption of $80,000, and a property tax abatement of $1,504,602.
