Saratoga Economic Development Corp. has relocated to 56 Duplainville Road, the Saratoga Springs headquarters of Quad Graphics.<\/p>\n

Dennis A. Brobston, SEDC president since 2008, said having upscale office spaces and conveniences will help the consulting firm \u201ctrack companies looking to expand business into the area, especially foreign interests.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA company coming from overseas needs a desk area and amenities,\u201d Brobston said. \u201cQuad Graphics is the largest printer with 700 people, $50 million invested in equipment, and a beautiful facility.\u201d<\/p>\n

SEDC is renting space at Building 4 on Quad\u2019s campus.<\/p>\n

Brobston said the nonprofit has access to professional offices, conference and event rooms, and an auditorium at Quad, plus the latest in audio-visual and teleconferencing technology. There is also a cafeteria, a health gym, and locker rooms that SEDC and their guests can use, and a medical center on site.<\/p>\n

The organization had leased 28 Clinton Street Suite 6 in downtown Saratoga month-to-month for 24 years, Brobston said, and was not actively seeking to relocate.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span>\u201cQuad Graphics actually reached out to us,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause COVID-19 forced many employees to work from home, Quad Graphics made some changes in their business and had space available.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to the pandemic, SEDC was courting businesses around the northeast looking to expand into Saratoga. There were also companies based in Ireland looking at Saratoga County, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to bring the foreign companies over last summer, but COVID halted that,\u201d said Brobston.<\/p>\n

Instead, SEDC partnered with dozens of companies and embassies in Dublin on a three-day video conference in July, part of their \u201cSpotlight Saratoga\u201d series, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had 90 attendees from 65 different companies in Ireland that we helped to understand all that Saratoga has to offer,\u201d said Brobston.<\/p>\n

Of the 30 businesses that had already shown interest, Brobston said 13 are companies with equine support products and services.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne company manufactures a blue light lamp that helps calm the horses,\u201d he said. \u201cThere is also software support for equine health services that can be tracked on a smart phone or tablet.\u201d<\/p>\n

SEDC serves as an advocate for companies it deems have a \u201cfit with the needs of the area,\u201d he said. \u201cWith the racing industry ever changing, we can help facilitate cutting through the red tape\u201d and potentially getting new products made and sold locally to stimulate economic growth.<\/p>\n

As the first point of contact for all aspects of the economic development process, SEDC \u201cbridges the gap between government and the business community,\u201d according to www.SaratogaEDC.com.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe act as an ombudsman to get at what a company needs to know and how to get it done,\u201d Brobston said.<\/p>\n

Right now SEDC is working with 85 companies at different stages.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt can take years to push through a project, which COVID slowed down for many,\u201d Brobston said. \u201cThere may be 125 or more companies contacting us in any given year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thus far in 2021, five projects with $16.4 million in investment have completed, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese resulted in retaining 32 jobs and will create 102 new jobs, with total payroll at $6.6 million,\u201d Brobston said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
