STAMP History
In 2005, the Genesee County Economic Development Center (GCEDC) developed a concept to bring advanced manufacturing and next generation businesses to the western New York and Finger Lakes regions.
In November 2008, consultants IDC Architects/CH2M HILL completed a feasibility study which concluded that the STAMP Site would be attractive to technology manufacturing companies due to a range of factors unique to the STAMP Site, including its location in the Niagara Hydro Power Zone, proximity to higher educational systems, size of the STAMP Site, and related factors.
From 2010 through 2012, a thorough environmental review of STAMP was conducted as required by New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) law which included preparation of draft and final generic environmental impact statements (DGEIS and FGEIS).
This review was conducted in conjunction with various state and federal regulatory agencies and those determined to be potentially interested parties, including the Nation. The outreach with the Nation continues to the present day.
A survey in 2012 found that more than two out of every three residents (68%) in the Town of Alabama are in favor of the STAMP development. Rezoning of the STAMP property for development was unanimously approved by the Town of Alabama in late 2012.
Following completion of the Environmental Impact Statement process and the rezoning of the land to advanced manufacturing, GCEDC began a series of land purchases ultimately totaling approximately 1,250 acres of agricultural lands in the Town of Alabama which became the Science & Technology Advanced Manufacturing Park (STAMP).
