JAMESTOWN – A major economic development project in northern Chautauqua County has taken a step forward with the Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency<\/strong> board of directors signing off on two different tax abatement programs.<\/p>\n

The $200 million Athenex<\/strong> project in Dunkirk, announced in the spring of 2016 by Gov. Andrew Cuomo<\/strong>, received both sales and property tax exemptions from the IDA during its meeting Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

According to the Post-Journal<\/em>, Incentives include a sales tax exemption, with an estimated value of $9.1 million, and a 20-year payment in lieu of tax agreement for the construction and outfitting of the $208 million facility. \u00a0Both exemptions were placed within the Athenex deal that was originally negotiated and finalized by the state earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Once complete, officials say Athenex will have a multi-million dollar, 320,000-square-foot facility located Lake Shore Drive East and will employ 450 people within the first five years of operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
