Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon on June 10 announced the expansion of Buckeye Corrugated, Inc. (BCI) and Propel Pharmacy, LLC.
BCI will be expanding into new space at the TR-20 Carrier facility, while Propel plans to expand at a new space in the town of Cicero.
BCI is the Syracuse division of Akron, Ohio–based firm, per its website. The BCI Syracuse division was founded in 1979 as Empire State Container and was acquired by BCI in July 2011.
It currently operates at 151 Midler Park Drive in DeWitt. Buckeye Corrugated manufactures corrugated packaging products and has generated 80 percent growth in its business over the last three years, Onondaga County said. The company plans to renovate the TR-20 Carrier facility into a 197,000-square-foot manufacturing facility. The space is currently empty.
Buckeye is expected to spend $1.3 million and create 11 new jobs.
Propel plans
Propel Pharmacy is a telemedicine company that provides pharmaceutical-delivery services to customers across the U.S. The firm is expected to spend over $750,000 on its expansion and create 40 new jobs over the next five years, the county says.
Propel Pharmacy recently moved to 5962 State Route 31 in Cicero. It’s in the shopping center next to Cicero-North Syracuse High School. The firm had been located in DeWitt.
“There is real momentum in our community and that is validated with the expansion and growth we are seeing in our local business community. Onondaga County is committed more than ever to helping our local businesses not just survive, but thrive.” McMahon contended in the release. “We are proud of Propel and Buckeye for committing to Onondaga County and choosing to grow their businesses right here.”
