A ribbon-cutting is planned for Sept. 28, she said.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Cornell said the climate-controlled indoor storage area represents about half of the storage space, which ranges from small 5-foot by 5-foot spaces up to 10-foot by 20-foot spaces, as well as one that could fit a recreational vehicle.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">There are three large spaces on the left side of the building that are available for lease by light manufacturing, retail or commercial companies. Cornell said his company will build to suit tenants in the 40 percent of the building not occupied by the self-storage facility.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Life Storage will run and manage the self-storage facility, Cornell said. The self-storage facilities first came to Cornell\u2019s attention when he worked for Morgan-Stanley. They are still very popular and very profitable.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">So far, with word-of-mouth only, Cornell said he\u2019s already received 50 preregistered customers. The location on Route 417 at West Five Mile Road is right off Exit 24 of Interstate 86. A second entrance has been established from West Five Mile Road.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Kinley Corp. of Allegany was the general contractor on the project with an average of 40 onsite construction jobs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Cornell said the location, the new exterior and well-lit interior are designed to provide customers with peace of mind and safety. Exterior and interior cameras provide increased security.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Cornell said the self-storage part of the project is enough to sustain it. The rest he hopes to put to the best use for the community in terms of jobs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">There are a number of outparcels that have drawn interest \u2014 from coffee shops to truck stops and drive-through food chains \u2014 Cornell said. \u201cI\u2019d like top bring some diversity to the area,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Extension of sewer service outside the village of Allegany to the West Five Mile Road area will benefit Allegany Crossing as well, although the project was designed not to require sewer service.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The $13 million project was also induced by the Cattaraugus County Industrial Development Agency through about $2 million in sales tax, mortgage tax and property tax incentives.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oleantimesherald.com\/news\/allegany-crossing-self-storage-sets-soft-opening-this-week\/article_c44819f8-3c7d-11ee-902c-5bc752c15dc9.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"color: #222222;\"><span style=\"font-family: Lato, Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Source<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allegany Crossing Self Storage, the new facility with indoor, climate-controlled space as well as outside storage space and located in the former Kmart plaza on Route 417, is quietly opening this week.
