Industrial Development
The Town of Wheatfield has been identified as one of the fastest growing communities in Western New York. With a skilled workforce, access to low cost hydro electric power, close proximity to the U.S. – Canadian border and a low cost of living, commerce and industry has chosen the Town of Wheatfield as an ideal location for expansion and new business locations. To complement these business attributes, growing industry can take advantage of a pro business environment by local government, financing and tax incentives, employment and training assistance and professional business guidance.
Over the past 10 years the Town of Wheatfield has welcomed new industry and supported the expansion of existing business. Some of the businesses that have chosen Wheatfield for their business expansions include: Edwards Vacuum Inc. taking occupancy of a new 60,000 square foot $3.5 million facility and invested over $3 million in equipment and other fixed asset needs, Metaullics Systems investing over $5 million in facilities and equipment, Niagara Sheets with over $15 million of new capital to increase and improve operations. Woodlands Corporate Center Headquarters is the center piece of an international real estate and business development company that offers industrial building sites and leasable building space within the Town of Wheatfield. These businesses have chosen to invest in Wheatfield because of the favorable cost of doing business, access to transportation, labor and utility systems and the stability of real estate and property values.
