At its September board meeting, New York City Industrial Development Agency (NYCIDA) approved financial assistance for Best Choice Trading Corp., a wholesale frozen seafood distributor located in East Williamsburg, Brooklyn. With NYCIDA's help, Best Choice will acquire, renovate, and equip an 8,750 s/f facility adjacent to its current 19,840 s/f facility to accommodate the company's growth and storage needs. The total project cost is estimated to be $2.6 million. The expansion will enable Best Choice to double its workforce by adding 20 workers to the 20 it currently employs. The NYCIDA Board approved approximately $1,148,635 in real estate and sales tax benefits for Best Choice Trading Corp. for the acquisition and renovation of a facility on Stewart Ave. in the East Williamsburg Empire Zone. This expansion will allow Best Choice to not only expand, but also to operate more cost-effectively.
