MALTA Plans for a massive warehouse complex at the Luther Forest Technology Campus are facing some opposition, including possibly from the industrial park’s only major tenant, the GlobalFoundries Fab 8 computer chip plant.
The Town Board voted 3-2 on Monday to approve the scope for an environmental impact statement to be done by Scannell Properties of Indianapolis, a national commercial real estate developer whose other projects include the million-square-foot Amazon distribution center in Rensselaer County.
Scannell is proposing up to five major warehouse buildings at the technology campus, with a possible square footage of up to 3.5 million square feet, and a potential for creating 2,500 new jobs.
