Mancuso Group Selected to Revitalize 475,000 SF in Lockport
January 16, 2008
LOCKPORT, NY – The largest building in Lockport’s downtown is being revitalized to help small businesses start, grow and create jobs. The Mancuso Business Development Group has been hired by the Greater Lockport Development Corp. (GLDC) to lead the project. The GLDC’s objectives for the property, originally built as the Harrison Radiator manufacturing plant in the early 1900’s, are to create jobs, improve the property and become profitable in a three-year period.
 The building will be renamed “Harrison Place” and will focus its marketing efforts on entrepreneurs in the region, including the greater Buffalo area, Niagara County and Ontario, Canada. Small businesses create more than 70% of net new jobs in America according to the US Small Business Administration. 98% of Niagara County business establishments are small businesses (in fact, almost 78% have fewer than 9 employees).
In addition to a $250,000 grant from Senator Masiarz, a Restore NY grant of $1,500,000 has just been awarded. The combination of these kinds of programs with improvements in building operations is expected to fund the revitalization.
 Mancuso Management is part of the Mancuso Business Development Group, which has been devoted to reusing large old buildings to create jobs for people since 1959. The world’s first business incubator was started by the firm’s founder, Joseph L. Mancuso, in Batavia, NY. The Mancuso Business Development Group’s incubator and property management leadership has filled millions of square feet of obsolete industrial & office space and has served thousands of businesses in communities around Upstate New York. The Opportunity Catalyst network of business incubators includes their managed sites in Batavia, Rochester and Geneva. B. Thomas Mancuso, SIOR is the president of the Mancuso Business Development Group.
