Warehouse District Cidery To Expand Operations

March 15, 2016

Following up on Round 5 of Governor Cuomo’s Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) initiative, more than $11 million worth of investments are currently under way in downtown Albany. The funding directly supports the Impact Downtown Albany initiative through several projects, which are having an incredible impact on our central business and warehouse district’s building momentum.

The Nine Pin Ciderworks Expansion project was awarded $100,000 from Empire State Development Corporation. Nine Pin Ciderworks is currently in the process of expanding operations at its Albany facility through leasehold improvements, machinery and equipment purchases, increasing employment opportunities and the production of hard cider. The new equipment which includes custom tanks will allow Nine Pin to increase its production, moving the cidery towards its license limitations. Read more in the Albany Business Review, here.

The Round 5 REDC initiative catalyzed $11.5 million worth of investment, funding eight downtown Albany projects. Overall, City of Albany projects were awarded approximately $21.8 million in funding. The Capital Region was awarded a total of $98.1 million in funding for 114 projects.
