The company has applied to build the expansive project in Dutchess County at the iPark mixed-use area in East Fishkill.
The area has seen a huge transformation in recent years, according to East Fishkill Town Supervisor Nick D’Alessandro.
The development is part of the Town Board’s economic development plans and strategic zoning changes from the past several years, which were made to secure projects of this caliber, D'Alessandro said.
"The project will bring significant benefits not only to our local community but the entire region," D'Alessandro added. "I commend my colleagues on the Town Board for making the necessary changes to facilitate the development of the projects in East Fishkill."
The development of iPark, the 300-acre property that IBM left in 2015, is the largest redevelopment era in East Fishkill’s history.
The facility is slated to be located on North Drive, on the northern end of the campus, along Route 52.
"The Town government will continue to work with the public and private entities to keep East Fishkill a great place to live," D'Alessandro said.
The company plans to employ between 80 and 100 people.
