IBM

Everything appears to be in place for the start of the long-awaited project to tear down several abandoned IBM buildings at the company's former Endicott manufacturing hub.

The possibility of developing apartments in buildings that were once part of IBM's sprawling complex in Endicott has been discussed by the current owners of the property.

People who fought to keep the historic "IBM Collection" in Endicott are working to find a new home for the exhibit that highlights innovations developed by the company's workers in the 20th century.

Efforts to keep a priceless collection of IBM time clocks, punch card machines and computers in Endicott have been unsuccessful.

Construction crews are installing new piping in Endicott as IBM prepares to shut down one of its groundwater treatment facilities in the village.

It now appears IBM won't be taking back a priceless collection of historical items tied to the company's early days in the village of Endicott.

People are reacting angrily to word that the Endicott History and Heritage Center is preparing to return its IBM Collection to the company that calls the village its birthplace.

Endicott residents may continue to boast that they live in the "Birthplace of IBM" but soon the company will have no physical presence in the village.

The heavy equipment has been hauled away from what had been the once-beautiful IBM Country Club complex east of Endicott.

IBM executives are accused of working to force out older workers as part of an ongoing effort to deal with growing competition.
