FALCONER Local officials are awaiting word on whether year-long efforts to keep a longtime company in Chautauqua County pay off.
Mark Geise, chief executive officer of the Chautauqua County Industrial Development Agency, confirmed Monday that Truck-Lite has been looking at possibly relocating about 100 employees from its longtime home on East Elmwood Avenue in Falconer. It is believed the manufacturer of truck and trailer safety lighting is viewing three potential options: remain in Chautauqua County at a new, more economically feasible location; move to a new site to be constructed over the state line in Warren County; or move operations to the Erie, Pa., region.

The Warren County Chamber of Business & Industry does not support the proposed riverfront hotel.
But they are proposing a working group the Trestle to Trestle Task Force that aims to take a comprehensive look at the downtown.
“Our position is that we are not opposed to a new hotel but we do not feel that the location proposed is appropriate based upon the significant incursion the footprint of the property has on the existing businesses on Clark Street, Jim Decker, president/CEO of the WCCBI said.
“We are forming the ‘Trestle-to-Trestle Redevelopment Taskforce” which the WCCBI will facilitate,” he added.
