A. Project and Applicant/Sponsor Information.
Name of Action or Project:
White Pine Commerce Park (formerly known as the Clay Business Park) Project Location (describe, and attach a general location map):
Brief Description of Proposed Action (include purpose or need):
The Onondaga County Industrial Development Agency (OCIDA) proposes to expand its White Pine Commerce Park (the Park) in the Town of Clay, Onondaga County, NY. The project site is approximately 1,250 acres, of which the County currently owns 450 acres. The expanded Park will be capable of supporting a mix of industrial and/or commercial uses that may include industrially related office, research, manufacturing, assembly, warehousing, data management, material processing and distribution facilities in a campus-like setting. The purpose of the proposed expansion will enable OCIDA to market the Park to a larger, more diverse mix of potential developers, allowing development of the site for advanced forms of manufacturing and state-of-the-art _ industrial uses to facilitate the creation of high-paying employment opportunities in Onondaga County. The Park has many important attributes that make it particularly well suited to large-scale industrial and/or commercial use. The Park is accessible from major nearby interstates and State and Gounty ighways. This includes Interstate 81 (I-81) via Exit 30 at NYS Route 31 in Cicero, approximately 2.2 miles east of the project site. The I-81 interchange at Bartell Road (Exit 31) is approximately 3 miles north of the site, and the Interstate 81/481 interchange is 4 miles to the southeast. The I-481/NYSRoute 31 interchange is approximately 3.5 miles west of the Park. The New York State Thruway (I-90) is about 6.5 miles south of the Park. Syracuse Hancock International Airport is about 5 miles south of the Park along the I-81 corridor.
