WhistlePig maps out expansion efforts Vermont-based distiller will build more storage space in Moriah By Lohr McKinstry STA FF W RITER

MORIAH | The WhistlePig Rye Whiskey facility in Moriah is constructing two more buildings this year with two more planned for 2019. The Vermont-based rye whiskeymaker has three warehouses now at the Moriah Business Park off County Route 7. Essex County Industrial Development Agency Co-Director Jody Olcott said the total impact of the Business Park has been very positive since the IDA purchased the raw land in 1995.

“WhistlePig’s future plans which are already approved (are) two additional buildings in 2018 and two additional buildings in 2019 will give them their approved seven buildings,” she said. “The IDA owns an additional 15 acres at the park which we will begin to discuss and develop in 2018.” The WhistlePig Rye Whiskey distillery in Shoreham, Vt. has plans for a warehouse complex with seven 14,000-square-foot bays to store up to 14,000 barrels of whiskey. Olcott said John Sheehan & Sons of Willsboro completed the infrastructure work at the park for WhistlePig, putting in water and sewer lines and paving the access road. “That infrastructure, water, sewer and road, was dedicated to the town at their December meeting,” she said. “We still own and operate the park, besides the road, which was dedicated to the town.” » WhistlePig Cont. on pg. 2

TICONDEROGA | Th e Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce has made several changes to its team for this year. Mark Barber from Burleigh’s Luncheonette and Selena LeMay-Klippel from North Country Community College Ticonderoga Campus have joined the team as the newest chamber board members and Carolyn Ida from International Paper Company has moved up onto the chamber Executive Board. The changes and additions to the chamber Board of Directors were recently approved at the chamber’s annual meeting and strategic planning session. Additional changes included updates to board and staff titles to assist in clarifying roles within the team and

align with how many chambers of commerce are organized, Ticonderoga Area Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Matthew Courtright said. The chamber executive director is now president and chief executive officer, the board president is now board chair, and the vice presidents are now vicechairs. In addition, a number of board members terms were renewed. All of the changes and additions were voted on during the annual meeting of the chamber Board of Directors. Courtright said the chamber is proactively seeking to have a board that represents a wide spectrum of businesses types and organizations that are chamber members, including the area’s largest employers, locally owned and operated businesses, non-profits, as well as representation from the communities they serve. Additional board members will be announced later this year. “Join the chamber in welcoming our new board members,” he said. “Each person on our board brings a new perspective and set of skills.

Th e chamber continues to grow in membership, services, programs, and overall as an organization.” The chamber is Ticonderoga’s business and visitor center, he said. “The board helps guide us and participates regularly to make everything the chamber does possible,” Courtright said. “I am proud of what we have accomplished over the last several years and look forward to the future.” He said the chamber board and himself held a strategic planning session to create a draft set of specific goals and objectives for 20182022 that will be fi nalized over the next several board meetings. At the previous planning session held in 2013, the chamber updated its mission, created a vision, created a tag line, and identified key areas of focus. The team is now: staff : Matthew Courtright, president and CEO; Molly Bechard, visitor and member service manager; and Katelyn Chevier, administrative assistant and Farmers Market manager. » TACC Cont. on pg. 8
