OCIDA Application Appendix
Section 2 – Project Information
D. Project Narrative, Description of Project
Without the requested benefits from the Onondaga County Industrial Development Agency, the project
would not be undertaken at this time. The proposed project value of approximately $19 million would
be shelved or looked to be completed at locations outside of Onondaga County if financial assistance is
not approved by the Agency.
E. Description of Project
United Auto Supply (UAS) is a distributor/retailer of auto parts which was founded in 1946. Over the last seventy-nine years they have expanded from a 2,500 square foot store on West Genesee Street to a 70,000 square foot facility on Tracy Street in the City of Syracuse. Based on the continued growth in our business, in 2016 they purchased and renovated the former P&C Warehouse at 1200 State Fair Blvd, which is now Ranalli Industrial Park which is 567,000 square feet and corporate headquarters for United Auto Supply. UAS has a lease agreement with 1200 State Fair Boulevard LLC for the project site and associated facilities, a copy of the agreement has been provided as part of the application.
UAS currently occupies approximately 308,000 square feet of the Ranalli Industrial Park which is located on 22+/- acres in the Town of Geddes. The property is currently zoned and utilized for warehouse distribution services. Previously the Industrial Park had multiple tenants within the facility, but due to the growth within UAS’s business over the last several years and the desire to expand their operation at 1200 State Fair Boulevard, additional warehouse/distribution facilities have been constructed or acquired to relocate tenants within the complex to other locations throughout Onondaga County. Previously, Lowe’s Home Improvements distribution facility was relocated from the Industrial Park to a 100,000 sf facility off Erie Boulevard in the City of Syracuse. Additionally, WB Mason, is currently being relocated to a facility located off Buckley Road in the Town of Clay.
Based on our continued growth of UAS in the northeast and commitment to Onondaga County there is a
need for an additional warehouse and distribution space for their operations. The proposed project is
the renovation of approximately 259,000 square feet (previously occupied by WB Mason) at 1200 State
Fair Boulevard to allow for expansion of operations, distribution and warehousing at one centralized
location. The portion of the existing building that were the proposed expansion is contemplated was
constructed in the late 1960s. In order to allow for expansion, the facility requires structural,
mechanical, electrical and life safety upgrades for the installation of a state-of-the art automated
distribution system.
United Auto Supply has experienced great revenue growth year over year which has allowed for the
company to continuously expand. The expansion of warehouse/distribution services at 1200 State Fair
Boulevard will allow greater flexibility in future expansions and bringing on new product lines to serve
the automotive and retail industry in the northeast and US. The anticipated expansion would allow for
job creation and revenue increases over the upcoming three to five years.
Page 41 of 42
F. As previously stated in the Description of the Project, the project will not result in the removal
or abandonment of existing facilities elsewhere in NYS to the proposed project location. Additionally,
the project relocates existing tenants of Industrial Park to other sites within Onondaga County to
continue their warehouse and distribution operations.
