GOVERNOR CUOMO ANNOUNCES DICK’S SPORTING GOODS TO
CONSTRUCT NORTHEAST DISTRIBUTION HUB IN THE SOUTHERN TIER

Nation’s Leading Sporting Goods Store – Founded In Binghamton – Will Invest
More Than $80 Million To Build 650,000 Square-Foot Distribution Facility And
Create More Than 460 New Jobs

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced DICK’s Sporting Goods, Inc., the
nation’s leading sports and fitness retailer, will construct a new regional distribution
facility at the Broome County Corporate Park, in the Town of Conklin, Broome
County. The company will invest approximately $80 million to build the 650,000
square-foot distribution hub and the project will result in 466 new, full-time jobs over
the next five years in the Southern Tier region.

The project is a major component of Southern Tier Soaring, the region’s
comprehensive blueprint to generate robust economic growth and community
development. The State has already invested more than $3.1 billion in the region
since 2012 to support the plan – attracting a talented workforce, growing businesses
and driving innovation.

Governor Cuomo said.

Ed Stack, Chairman and CEO of DICK’s Sporting Goods said, “XX.”
DICK’S Sporting Goods (DSG) was founded in 1948 by Dick Stack, then 18 years old,
while working at an Army surplus store in Binghamton, New York. After his initial
suggestions to the store owner for a fishing tackle business were shot down, Dick’s
grandmother loaned him $300 and told him to “do it himself.” Using that money,
Stack opened a bait-and-tackle shop in Binghamton and by 1958, he expanded his
product line to include much of what is in DICK’s Sporting Goods stores across the
nation today.

DSG’s new regional distribution hub, located on an approximately 123 acre site in the
Broome Corporate Park, will service over 200 of its retail stores throughout the
Northeast. Along with construction of the facility, related site work will include wetland
mitigation, grading and clearing, and extension of utilities.

Empire State Development President, CEO & Commissioner Howard Zemsky
said,

The State and Broome County together have offered a competitive incentive package
as part of their efforts to attract DSG’s major distribution hub, and more than 450 new
jobs, to the Southern Tier region. New York State’s performance-based incentives
are valued at up to $12 million, including funding from the region’s Upstate
Revitalization Initiative (URI) and Excelsior Jobs Program tax credits. Additionally,
the Broome County Industrial Development Agency (The Agency) is slated to
approve tax abatements in the immediate future.

County Quote(s)
County Executive Debbie Preston

Kevin McLaughlin, Executive Director of The Agency said, “This is a tremendous
project for Broome County, and one that was not easy to put together. We had a lot
of site challenges and numerous hurdles to jump. The collaboration between our
office, New York State, the DEC, the Army Corp of Engineers, Broome County, the
Town of Conklin and Delta Engineers was amazing and the commitment by Dick’s
Sporting Goods and JLL to make this project work kept us moving forward. We are
thrilled that the day is finally here to announce Dick’s return to Broome County.”

See attached. I think it should account for all edits from your version to the most current
version. I did a Microsoft word “compare” so it produced the track changes on its own based
on the difference between the two docs.
