^This is great and after all, Batavia is actually in the Rochester Combined Statistical Area. So, that isn’t surprising. However, this still doesn’t mean that people don’t go to other employers in the Buffalo metro. Batavia’s location allows for some reasonable flexibility for employment in either area. This is considering that Batavia Notre Dame Jr/Sr High is actually and technically in the Buffalo Catholic Diocese. https://www.wnycatholicschools.org/l...me-High-School
Keep in mind that other posters have also mentioned this dynamic in terms of proximity to both areas. So, this isn’t just coming from me in this thread.
Most of the people living in Batavia have decades old ties to family and community. Its not a huge magnet for people moving in from outside the area. Genesee CC (GCC) draws students in from all over and has a fine design course and annual fashion show which I attended many times but once the academic year ends they all go back home.
I did that drive for 20 years and it can become more than 1 hour in the winter. The Thruway can have icy patches and passing trucks with zero visibilty from flying snow, can be treacherous. Winter is a minimum of 60 minutes. It takes 30 minutes from exit 50 to exit 48 and once you add in the trip to and from the Thruway exit and delays at the toll plaza its at least 45 minutes in good weather. I did the trip at least 3000 times so I am quite familiar with it. Its also incredibly boring.
There is a Chevy dealership. Ken Barrett on Main st
Thanks for the info. I ask only because back when my wife and I were just dating, she bought a new Corvette (a '79), and it came through Mancuso Chevrolet, in Batavia. I say "through" because one of my wife's aunts was friends with the Mancusos in Rochester, who owned Vincent Buick, in Rochester, and the Corvette was channeled through the Chevy dealership, and delivered to her by the Buick dealership.
Just in case people haven't seen it in another thread, but this is very relevant and could be a game changer for this immediate area and potentially for WNY(both the Buffalo and Rochester areas) in general.

I'm surprised that no one has commented on this and how this may help connect WNY if it is a go.
Also, this would be the 3rd/4th big semiconductor site in Upstate NY between Global Foundries in Malta(and East Fishkill), Cree in Marcy outside of Utica and this one(again, if it actually comes to fruition).
