By Paul Grimaldi CVS Caremark Corp. said today it wants to build a distribution center in Chemung County, N.Y., near Elmira, in the south-central part of the state. The Woonsocket company said it expects to employ 600 people at the site, which it hopes will be open in 2011. The distribution center will supply about 350 CVS drugstores in the Northeast. The company has yet to close a deal for the 311-acre site, the company said in a statement, and the project has yet to receive final approvals from state and local agencies in New York. New York government officials, as you'd expect, are pleased with the proposed development. "This is great economic news for the residents of our entire region and could not have come at a better time," said Tom Santulli, Chemung County Executive. "This project will create hundreds of quality jobs and provide a significant boost to our local economy." The CVS statement does not indicate whether any of the jobs will be moved from other company locations, or what workers at the Chemung County site will earn.
