Storefront renovations part of Olean’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative
Project Rendering: Updates & repairs to the 100+ year old building and its facade will provide a modern look to compliment the business’s services and Olean’s business district.
OLEAN, NY - Acme Business is pleased to announce it has received a state-funded grant facilitated by the Olean Business Development Corporation (OBDC) to support the Downtown Revitalization Initiative. These funds assist area business owners with funding for renovation of commercial properties to improve the atmosphere of Olean’s downtown areas.
The Acme Business’ revitalization project through the Downtown Revitalization Initiative will restore the 100+ year old building located at 313-317 West State Street in Olean, NY. The project includes the improvement of three storefronts in both design and signage with updates and repairs to the façade. These updates will modernize the storefront and provide structural repairs that are needed to sustain the older construction. The Acme Business revitalization project will create contracting jobs within the Olean community through local contracting firm, Loucks Construction, and support various local businesses with all products being purchased from area vendors.
Acme Business owner, Jim Finch, is pleased to have been awarded the grant to update the Olean location of his growing business. “We’re all very excited to see the new face of Acme Business here in Olean,” he said. “This project will give our 1950s storefront a modern look to go with our modern business solutions. As a growing local business, we’re pleased to partner with the OBDC and with Ryan Loucks to get our project underway and continue to improve our Olean community.”
This project will not only aid Acme Business, it will support the Olean community and surrounding areas.
Slated to begin mid-December, the building project will provide a modern revival of a long-standing business in the Olean cityscape. The improved space will allow Acme Business to project the development externally that its business is experiencing in scope and client base, as it grows its cybersecurity and IT enterprise internally.
