Agency grants final extension for 1400 Broad Street construction period
Summary
The agency approved an extension — likely the last — to the construction period for the 1400 Broad Street project after reviewing a packet letter explaining prior extensions and National Grid service issues.
The Utica Industrial Development Agency approved a motion to extend the construction period for the 1400 Broad Street project following agency staff’s review of a letter in the meeting packet and prior extension history.
Staff told the board the applicant has received multiple extensions and is approaching two years of construction time; the agency indicated this extension is likely to be the last. Staff noted the applicant had to coordinate with National Grid to secure a new electrical service for the whole building, which contributed to delays.
A motion to extend was moved and seconded and the board voted “Aye.” The agency chair asked staff to keep agency members informed of ongoing progress; staff noted continuing construction‑season workforce constraints and the local focus of skilled trades as background context for delays.
The action on May 7 was an approval of an extension; the meeting record does not specify a new expiration date or an exact number of additional days granted in the extension.
