"Ferguson Enterprises'
decision to invest in Greene County is another win in our efforts to
grow the Upstate economy by creating jobs and new economic
opportunities for New Yorkers," Governor Cuomo said in a press
release announcing the new project. "By establishing this new
distribution center, Ferguson Enterprises is bringing nearly 100
jobs to the Capital Region and spurring continued growth in the
community of Coxsackie. This was a collaborative effort -- with
support from both the state and local governments -- and I am
pleased to welcome this company to New York State."
In recent months, Ferguson has increased its investment in the
Northeast. The company made several acquisitions in New York and New
Jersey including The Davidson Group, Davis & Warshow and Karl's
Appliance, complementing its more than 100 already existing Ferguson
locations in the region.
"Our acquisitions and the addition of these two facilities secure
Ferguson's presence in the Northeast," said Ferguson CEO Frank
Roach. "Our investment in the region is based on our philosophy to
always strive to better serve our customers."
