Larry Siegal, Syracuse Redevelopment Commission president and town councilman stated “As the economy continues to improve and confidence increases, more business will be searching for sites to build new construction.” He further stated that interest in planning for a technology/business park has been in the works for the last 14 years by various Syracuse groups.
Town Manager Henry DeJulia announced that Travel Lite RV will be the first company to build in the location and will serve as its anchor.
“We are really excited that Travel Lite RV chose the Syracuse Technology Park to break ground for its new facility. This is an expansion of economic development opportunities for the economy here in Syracuse and Benton Township area,” said DeJulia, noting that the park is also an Indiana Shovel Ready park.
“We’re excited to be able to grow the park and provide a base of operations for Travel Lite RV in which they can showcase their product operations, along with employing our residents and calling Syracuse home.”
Syracuse Town Council President Tom Hoover echoed this sentiment, adding that the purchase and signing of the first tenant is great news for businesses, the economy and most of all the local taxpayers.
Council members noted that the town of Syracuse is willing to offer various incentives, in which the town will invest in company growth based upon potential job creation and new investment in the Syracuse technology park. This is true for both new or expanding businesses. This incentive program is designed to offer financial incentives to attract businesses creating quality employment opportunities and new investment.
Funding for the park and improvements came from the economic development administration, HUD economic development improvement grant and the town of Syracuse. Funding was used for a variety of items to complete the technology/industrial park for development, including new construction and distribution of water and sewer lines, both to and within the park; extension of electric and gas within the entire park; building demolition of existing buildings within the park; asphalt paving and striping; and new passing blasters on U.S. 6 and Ind. 13.
DeJulia said that Travel Lite RV would like to begin construction of their new facilities this month and hopefully have them completed by the end of fall or early winter.
