A Message From The Chairman

Angelo Santabarbara, Industrial Development Agency ChairmanAs Chairman of Rotterdam’s Industrial Development Agency (RIDA), I can say that the RIDA is not only committed to help attract new businesses to the Rotterdam, but also the expansion of existing businesses that are already here. In this effort, we are happy to report that the first ever "Small Business Grant Program" was a great success for the Town of Rotterdam. These grants were specifically developed to assist the smaller businesses in our community with façade improvements. I would like to thank the small business that participated in this program; we look forward to seeing façade improvements throughout the Town of Rotterdam in the upcoming months.

We are always striving to make improvements in the business community and our programs. Should you want to be more active with the RIDA, we welcome your questions and comments and encourage public attendance at our meetings. We have also begun preparation and scheduling for an RIDA "open house", which will take place in the upcoming months at Town Hall. Watch our website for recent updates, news and upcoming programs.

If you have any questions and would like to contact me directly, please feel free to call the RIDA office or e-mail me at asantabarbara@rotterdamny.org.

We look forward to continuing to help business build Rotterdam’s future.

Angelo Santabarbara
Industrial Development Agency Chairman
