Horrigan pleased with SEIU-ConAgra agreement...

The agreement reached between the union representing over 400 Carriage House workers and ConAgra is good news for the workers who'll be losing their jobs with the plant closing.  However... it will also help in marketing the site for future development.  That from County Executive Vince Horrigan... who spoke at this (Friday) morning's County Executive Breakfast held by the Chautauqua County Chamber of Commerce.  Horrigan is pleased there will be no restrictions on the future use of the facilities.  He says previously -- with Petri -- there was a non-compete clause in the closing agreement.  Horrigan says this is good news for local food processors that may be interested in the Carriage House facilities.  He says the County's efforts to land a developer or develop an agribusiness park can now move ahead with the help of a $50,000 reuse study.  He says they're looking at "one-on-one" business... and, about six total.  He says they're also going to be looking at the possibility of an agri-business, or a business park with several, smaller businesses inside.  Horrigan thanked the union leaders for their work in reaching the agreement.  ConAgra is expected to close down the Carriage House facilities by the end of this year.
