AND IF THAT wasn’t enough:
He was chairman of the committee that proposed and pushed for the location of Lakeview Correctional Facility in the Town of Portland/Brocton. Many would say he was the main force in obtaining a successful result in this project.

He also convinced International Filler Corporation to donate the Mundane Building to the Brocton/Portland Development Corp, to be used as a business incubator. It was eventually sold, and the funds were used to develop Haywood Heights Housing Development, a joint project with the Brocton/Portland Development Corp., the Town of Portland, the Village of Brocton, and the County of Chautauqua.
