Dockside Landing Marina Fuels Economic Development in Upstate NY

Press Release – Ticonderoga Storage Facility

At a time when most in the marine industry are just happy to keep their heads above water, Dockside Landing continues to grow at an unprecedented rate.  Dockside’s focus on customer service, premium products, and exceptional value is the foundation for their incredible success.

 Dockside recently acquired a 25,000 sq. ft. multi-purpose facility located in the Ticonderoga Business Park in Ticonderoga, NY.  The building was constructed as an economic development tool to help generate employment opportunities.  According to Craig Merrell, president of Dockside Landing, “Our business has been growing by leaps and bounds and we simply needed more space.  The building and property are a great addition and allows us to focus needed attention towards our Lake Champlain market, as well as providing needed services for our Lake George customers.”

 Dockside Landing’s original location is their marina located in the northern basin of Lake George in Hague, NY; then in January 2002 they acquired an indoor showroom located in Lake George Village.  “The showroom in Lake George allowed us to get closer to our core sales market and the new Ticonderoga facility allows us to manage our business more efficiently and provide for enhanced customer service.  We offer the region’s only heated storage – something our customers really appreciate.  As you know, boaters have a great deal of money invested in their boats and it’s just not worth taking unnecessary risks by storing them outside in the cold.  Our temperature-controlled environment provides protection from the constant temperature variation, condensation, UV exposure, and the other problems that are inherent when storing elsewhere.”

 "The large open floor-plan of the building is ideal for boat storage (winter and summer), but the heated facility also makes a perfect service facility and boat showroom.  Our service team can work year-round, reducing un-employment and helping to relieve some of the spring and fall rush that is so common to marinas in the northeast.  The close proximity (less than 3 miles) to Lake George and Lake Champlain is ideal, providing easy access to both popular boating destinations.”

 Dockside Landing is proud to be the region’s exclusive dealer for Formula, Larson, Sea Doo, Triumph, and Ski Centurion.  “Our five core boat manufacturers provide us with an incredible selection of styles and models; we currently have over 100 new and used boats in stock.  We sell entry-level fishing boats starting at less than $10,000 to luxury super-yachts in excess of $750,000, and everything in between.”

 Dale French, Chairman of the Essex County Board of Supervisor’s noted “In this current climate of economic instability this certainly is a welcome commercial addition to Essex County and the Town of Ticonderoga. A number of new jobs will be created and boat sales and service will not only be a convenience for local boat owners, but the anticipated revenues will be a big boost for the local economy”.
