M&M Digital Printing will move into a new space at 726 Upper Glen St. in Queensbury by this Friday Aug. 26, owner Matt Flint tells FoothillsBusinessDaily.com.
“We’ve been restrained with space the last five years,” Flint said of the current building at 95 Broad St. in Glens Falls. He has been there since 2013.
He is moving from about 1,100 square feet to about 3,700, he said. “It’s big jump.”
The space will give his office room for a reception area and offices for him and his son, something the former space lacked.
For him the key was open space. Other offices he had looked at over the years, had a lot of walls to remove or in some other way were not the right size.
“I’ve got one machine that’s 29 feet” long, he said. “That machine can do everything, start to finish.”
It can make programs, calendars, booklets and similar items. It can draw from the right paper tray for the main body of the product and a different paper for the cover. It can fold, stitch and punch holes in the paper. The design goes in one end and the finished product comes out the other.
Flint said that in recent years, he had to trade in old equipment in order to make space for the new. Now, he can hold onto both and increase his productivity and open his company up to more opportunities, he said.
Apparel printing, laser engraving, and 3D printing are among the possible, new printing options. He also said there may even be opportunities to buy other companies.
When the new space opened up, the owner of the building, listed on the county property map as Mary Jane Canale, made Flint a good deal with the option to buy.
“This kind of fell into my lap,” he said.
LGLC 23rd Land and Water Conservation Celebration Comeback a Great Success
From a press release: After two years of going virtual, the Lake George Land Conservancy (LGLC) once again hosted guests for its 23rd annual Land and Water Conservation Celebration on Friday, July 29th. More than 250 people joined together to raise over $250,000 to directly support some of the LGLC’s most pressing and urgent projects around Lake George.
The beautiful summer evening featured music by the Silver Bay String Quartet on land, and DJ Trumastr for dancing on the Mohican. Delicious dinner fare was provided on land, catered by The Lily and the Rose, which also generously donated beer and wine.
The LGLC held the event at Peggy’s Point to showcase extensive work that had been done to restore its shoreline and stream bank. The 3-acre park was donated to the LGLC in 2004 by Margaret “Peggy” Darrin. In 2021 and this past spring, the LGLC oversaw a major restoration project at the park to stabilize the shoreline and stream bank, which had deteriorated over time and with recent severe storm events.
The water portion of the evening allowed guests to see the 60-acre Clark Hollow Bay property. This conservation effort is the LGLC’s largest financial commitment to date, and marks the completion of the Northeastern Shoreline Initiative: the permanent protection of a contiguous stretch of 3 miles of shoreline and 1,075 acres. Located in the Town of Putnam, the Clark Hollow Bay property itself includes half a mile of untouched shoreline and 1,300 feet of stream corridor.
While on land, LGLC Executive Director Michael Horn thanked the event guests for their dedication to the protection of Lake George, saying, “The LGLC’s success is driven by this unique community that recognizes permanent land protection is the best way to protect Lake George.”
