Dear Chairman Torpey;
I am writing to support the efforts of Soleno to build a $22 million factory in the W.J. Grande Industrial
Park, in Saratoga Springs.
The reality, as you know, is that we have VERY little property within the City where a manufacturer like
this can invest to build and operate a facility just like this one. That means this location which is zoned
for such uses is ideal, and even more so when you consider the extraordinary efforts, they will take
relative to the installation of a berm, fencing, and the size of the buffer to be a good neighbor with those
who live in the area.
This firm will create 50 new jobs and expand our industrial tax base providing long-term benefits to our
community. This type of development is vital as we look to ensure our economic sustainability and to
ensure that manufacturing remains a part of the mix of what drives our economic engine. As a result, I
hope you will move expeditiously to approve this project.
