New Byrne Dairy store is a go
NORWICH – Sonbyrne Sales Inc. – parent corporation for Byrne Dairy – and Mayor Joe Maiurano announced this week the sale of four parcels of property located on the corner of Silver and East Main streets for a new Byrne Dairy convenience store.
Maiurano reported that the properties are currently being surveyed, and Sonbyrne Vice President of Store Development Christian Brunelle said construction for the approximately $2 million dollar project is set to begin in mid-February and reach completion sometime in May.
The new, 4,000 square foot convenience store will replace the current Byrne Dairy adjacent to the Fire Department, and will include self-service gas facilities and a 3,000 square foot, coin-operated, 24-hour Laundromat.
Maiurano said he expected demolition of the current structures on the corner of Silver and East Main Streets to begin in approximately two months and added they may begin even sooner.
“This will be a big convenience for local residents, not to mention the sales tax it will generate for the city,” said Maiurano. “This kind of expansion is a definite plus and it’s proof that companies and corporations are willing to invest in our community.”
Planning and Community Development Specialist Todd Dreyer had previously stated that sales tax proceeds at the new location are projected at approximately $660,000 per year, with an estimated $123,750 of that coming to the city. Company representatives have stated the project will add an estimated five full-time and five part-time positions to the existing Byrne Dairy staff.
In July of this year, the company requested property tax abatement concessions from the Chenango County Industrial Development Agency in the form of a Payment in Lieu of Taxes agreement. Citing the retail nature of the project as outside the realm of their authority, the CCIDA turned down the request. In an effort to move along the proposed expansion, city officials – prior to the sale – approved tax incentives in the form of a 485B business investment exemption.
According to New York State law, the 10-year agreement will grant Sonbyrne Sales a property tax exemption of 50 percent in the first year. In each subsequent year, the exemption will decrease by 5 percent.
Maiurano said he expected the new location to generate increased traffic in the area, which he believed would help nearby downtown businesses, especially in and around the Tops Plaza.
As for the current Byrne Dairy store, the mayor said he and city officials are working on several prospects, and stated he’s “confident we’ll be able to get someone in there.”
“It’s good to see progress, it’s a great project and we’re looking forward to seeing a business that’s been here for 40 years expand in this way,” added the mayor.
