YONKERS, N.Y. — Cintas Corp. has received preliminary approval for an incentive package from the Yonkers Industrial Development Agency (YIDA) to build a $25.1 million regional service facility here. The new facility will be located on the northwest side of the city, in the South Westchester Executive Park, the City of Yonkers reports.
With the 60,000-square-foot facility, the company will consolidate operations in Yonkers from several other locations in the Northeast, including Boston, Philadelphia, northern New Jersey, Port Washington and North Salem.
In addition to space for sales, service and maintenance, a 13,000-square-foot laundry is planned that will supply uniforms and related services for 30,000 people in the New York City metropolitan area and other counties in the southeastern portion of the state.
“This is a strong addition to the city’s economy, and jobs that we can count on for the long term,” says Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano, who chairs the YIDA. “At least half of these jobs will be new hires from Yonkers and surrounding communities, and all of the jobs will add to the city’s tax base and expand our business community.”
