Rotterdam Corporate Park lands 2 new tenants The Business Review (Albany)
The Rotterdam Corporate Park’s Small Business Center is now open and has its first tenants.
BBX Transportation, a Lockport-based trucking company, is opening a regional truck terminal at the Rotterdam site with about 20 employees.
Cutting Edge Wood Flooring, a flooring business which also specializes in furniture repair and restoration as well as customized trim work, is locating seven jobs at the center. The company, which is closing its Glenville location, said it plans to double its workforce in the next few years.
The Rotterdam Corporate Park is located on Route 7. The Small Business Center was created by the Galesi Group, owners of the Corporate Park, in cooperation with Empire State Development, Schenectady County and the town of Rotterdam.
David Buicko, Galesi Group’s chief operating officer, said the two new tenants provided proof that “despite a difficult economy, small businesses continue to grow.”
Last summer, Empire State Development, Schenectady County and Rotterdam officials announced the creation of the Small Business Center.

The Rotterdam Corporate Park bills itself as the largest business park in the Albany, N.Y., region with more than 4 million square feet of space.
Now, by no means am I upset to see these businesses coming in, but I ask this about the 4 million square feet of space...how many of those feet are currently being used?

A new small business center in the Rotterdam Corporate Park has landed its first two tenants, which are bringing at least 27 jobs to the site, a local economic development official said. Seven of those jobs are relocating from a home-based business in Glenville and 20 are new jobs, according to Ray Gillen, commissioner of Economic Development and Planning for Schenectady County. The companies, BBX Transportation and Cutting Edge Wood Flooring, signed leases for Building 3 in the park, which is near the Thruway and Interstate 88, and are moving in, Gillen said. The Galesi Group last year converted the 270,000-square-foot former Army depot building into 24 sections, each consisting of approximately 11,000 square feet, for small to medium-sized businesses. Gillen said BBX will establish a regional truck terminal with 20 employees. The terminal will provide transportation and logistic services to area customers, including Railex USA. Railex operates a 250,000-square-foot distribution facility in the corporate park. Gillen said BBX is the first company to follow Railex into the park since Railex opened there in 2006. BBX President Robert Lewis said in a news release its Rotterdam location, with its proximity to the Thruway, “provides the perfect solution to our facility needs.” Cutting Edge of Glenville is relocating to Rotterdam after 11 years because the business is growing, said owner Rick Frederick. The company expects to double its workforce of seven people within the next few years, he said. Cutting Edge refinishes and installs wood flooring and specializes in furniture repair and restoration. Galesi spent more than $1 million of its own money and $2 million in state grants to convert Building 3 into the small business center. National Grid provided $100,000 toward the project through its economic development fund.
