Area Benefits The Hancock, Delaware County, NY area is located in the Southern Tier of New York and the Catskill Mountains. The mining and production of Bluestone is a major industry in Hancock. The timber industry is dominant here so downstream forest product manufacturing would be an ideal use. The geology is heavy to the Marcellus Shale and Utica Shale formations. In fact, Hancock, NY is just a few dozen miles from the natural gas drilling activities in neighboring Pennsylvania. Natural gas drilling is a heavy water-using industry. The site also has frontage on the East Branch Delaware River. This property is situated well to take advantage of future development in the Southern Tier region and the relocation of manufacturing.
