IDA authorizes up to $40,000 to study cold‑storage market for Skyler and Frankfurt sites
Summary
The board approved a not‑to‑exceed authorization for a market study (Windsor Turner quote discussed) to evaluate freezer/cooler demand across Upstate New York and to develop marketing materials for sites — authorization up to $40,000 with staff to refine scope and cost.
Board members discussed a consultant proposal to assess freezer/cooler and cold‑storage demand in Upstate New York as part of marketing for Skyler, Frankfurt and other sites. The proposal cited a regional shortage of rentable freezer/cooler space and proposed targeted analysis to show power availability, truck access and site readiness for potential tenants.
The board authorized staff to proceed with the study with a not‑to‑exceed cap of $40,000, subject to a refined scope and final proposal. One board member said the initial quote might come down ("it's, like, 31,000"), and staff said they would circulate a revised, more‑precise scope to avoid overrun.
