Surrounded by the verdant beauty of Upstate New York's Finger Lakes wine region and perched beside Seneca Lake, Belhurst Castle effortlessly blends 19th century charm with cozy, modern-day comfort for the perfect romantic getaway. Originally built as a private residence in 1889, the mansion was converted into a rollicking restaurant, speakeasy, and casino in 1933, and later, into the romantic, antique-filled retreat it is today.

LETTER FROM GOTHAM G O V E R N M E N T R E L AT I O N S We want to commend the New York Self Storage Association on another successful event. As the management team, it is always an honor for us to organize these events for the members throughout the region. We love to join you all at educational events, including here at the beautiful Belhurst Castle!
In addition to organizing events and day-to-day calls, Gotham has made a great effort at being as proactive as possible in advocating for state legislation that strengthens our self-storage industry, including modernizing Section 182 of the New York State Lien Law. We look forward to discussing those issues at today’s event.
We have demonstrated a substantial amount of growth and progress within NYSSA and our plan is to continue to strive and provide all of our members with insight into all of the key self-storage issues, legislation, and representation they need. We want to make this association as strong as possible because you deserve nothing less than the best NYSSA you can possible have. As always, you have our word that we are committed to excellence. We always encourage you to reach out to us with any insight, questions, or concerns. Thank you for all of your support!
Sincerely, David M. Schwartz Gotham Government Relations
