With a total of $71.5 million in private investment, the four projects will create more than 750 permanent and full-time jobs. The transaction fees paid to the IDA on the projects will generate more than $122,000, which will be used to support small businesses and stimulate job creation.

Projects include a family-owned company expanded into a self-storage business, an environmental brown site transformed into new housing and resident parking, prime office space upgraded for high-paying professional jobs and the renovation of one of the county's most iconic tourism destinations.

“The projects supported by the IDA today demonstrate the vitality of our local economy and the strength of our job market,” said County Executive Robert P. Astorino at the Nov. 13 announcement. “We are proud that these diverse, job-creating projects all have one thing in common: successful partnership with Westchester County.”

Murphy Brothers Contracting, a family owned and operated general contracting firm in Mamaroneck, received IDA approval for a sales tax exemption totaling $110,625 for the construction of a 40,000-square-foot self-storage facility at 426 Waverly Ave. in Mamaroneck.

The IDA approved a sales tax exemption of $1,328,400 and a mortgage tax exemption of $546,000 for Fareri Associates for the development of a $60 million condominium to be built in the Village of Bronxville at 15 Kensington Road.
