Founded as a ski shop in 1964, Alpin Haus gradually added its line of boats, pools and snowmobiles. Today, Alpin Haus is one of the largest RV dealers in the country, thanks in large part to a major expansion in 2003. When it came time to expand and build a 70,000-square-foot facility, Alpin Haus president Andy Heck and the Heck Family insisted on staying at home, right here in Montgomery County, NY. The 28-acre site the family began developing in 2002, sits just off of the New York State Thruway, a critical connector of the midwest and east coast.

Two weeks ago, the County Legislature passed a resolution to accept grant funding that was awarded by New York State Department of State for a Brownfield Opportunity Area (BOA) plan for the villages of Fort Plain and Nelliston. This grant and the BOA planning process facilitates the transformation of unproductive, and often, blighted properties into productive use, creating job opportunities, housing and/or community amenities for residents and visitors. The MCBDC will work with the villages throughout the grant process.
