The Columbia County Commerce Park is ready and waiting to host companies that want to take advantage of the nurturing environment and ample resources of Columbia County.
Wrapped around the Columbia County Airport, the Columbia County Commerce Park offers sites for sale or lease in a variety of configurations. Parcels are scattered over 250 acres of rolling hills and pastures. The Park is fully serviced with municipal infrastructure and public utilities including underground electric and telephone cable. A UPS facility is close by, providing morning deliveries to businesses in the Commerce Park as early as 8 AM.
An expedited approval process has been established to facilitate new construction. The Commerce Park is zoned Business-Industrial and Business-Commercial. Because an overall environmental impact statement is in place, specific projects are subject only to limited review. Projects in the Park have gained approval in as little as 45 days.
The Columbia County Commerce Park sits directly in the center of regional economic activity. The Park is located between State Routes 66 and 9H. Albany is 35 minutes away -- New York City, two hours. Access to Interstate 87 (New York Thruway/Adirondack Northway) and Interstate 90 (Massachusetts Turnpike/New York State Thruway) is quick and easy. The Taconic State Parkway and Amtrak rail service to and from Hudson are additional gateways for passenger travel.
Current occupants of the Columbia County Commerce Park include the Green Manor Nursing and Adult Home, the local office of the USDA Soil and Water Conservation Service, the West Ghent Volunteer Fire Company, light industries, and a resource recovery facility.
