CARMEL – Romania’s largest spirits produce will establish its first US distillery in Carmel.
The Alexandrion Group will invest over $40 million to develop a 120,000-square foot distillery and tasting room at 39 Seminary Hill Road, which is expected to create 102 jobs over five years. When completed, the facility will produce whiskey, bourbon, gin, brandy and vodka.
The facility will “generate new jobs, new investment, and new growth for our local economy and add to the momentum we’re seeing across Putnam County,” said County Executive MaryEllen Odell. “This type of commercial business is the ‘shot in the arm
This community and region has been seeking for many years,” said Carmel Town Supervisor Kenneth Schmitt. “Our local merchants and eateries will see an increase in customers as a result of the newly created jobs.” He said the distillery will be a destination for tourists, thus boosting the local economy.
The state’s Empire State Development Corporation wooed Alexandrion Group by offering it up to $2.7 million on performance-based tax credits through the Excelsior Jobs Program.
