”…the Ulster County Development Corporation has played a very important role in the development of my business. In the very early 1980’s we had maybe a dozen or so employees, but we needed to expand quickly. We went to UCDC and they helped us with an IDA loan and that started a whole new part of our business. It was a growth spurt that was a very key one in the growth of our business. We were able to build a sizable commercial space factory in an industrial zone. We then expanded our business both with the facility and its equipment in this manufacturing process. The Ulster County Development Corporation has been very helpful in the success of Woodstock Percussion in making Woodstock Chimes.”

“The reason I moved to the Hudson Valley, and specifically to the Woodstock area, is because of its reputation for the arts. It worked really well for our interests. We find the quality of life is an important part of our business. It attracts interesting employees because the valley is so full of culture.” |
