Operation Oswego County:

An Economic and Job Development Corporation Serving Oswego County

By L. Michael Treadwell, CEcD, executive director, Operation Oswego County

peration Oswego County (OOC) is a private, nonprofit organization that works to enhance and protect the business and industrial climate of Oswego County. To achieve that goal, we provide comprehensive assistance to existing businesses and those seeking to locate here. OOC is a full-service economic development organization ready to serve businesses, whether they are developing a business plan, looking for the best site, or searching for financing or other assistance. OOC’s primary objectives are to help create new job opportunities, retain employment, build a broader real property tax base, diversify the economy and improve the area’s quality of life all through a planned, organized and environmentally friendly economic development process. Since 1953, we have helped deliver over $4.1 billion in investments and more than 23,482 new and retained jobs to Oswego County. We have grown from a local, voluntary, community-spirited development organization to becoming a countywide proactive economic development arm. We are guided by a board of directors made up of community-minded people from business, industry, labor, education, agriculture and government throughout Oswego County. We are primarily funded by voluntary contributions and local, state and federal government support. As a countywide, comprehensive economic development organization, we can provide, among other things: • Site Selection Assistance. An inventory of industrial sites and

available buildings enables us to find homes for new businesses quickly. • Financial Packaging. We help businesses access appropriate financing from the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Empire State Development Corporation, the County of Oswego Industrial Development Agency (IDA) and other state, local and federal financing sources. We also help companies secure bank financing which is always the primary source of funds for most projects. • Planning and Coordination. We can help businesses with permitting, zoning and coordinating activities with state and local agencies. • Industry/Government Liaison. OOC serves as a liaison between companies and governmental agencies. • Assistance in Accessing Special Incentive Programs. We can help eligible businesses receive real property tax abatements, sales tax exemptions, job training, low interest financing, state grants and tax credits, utility incentives and more. • Retention/Expansion Outreach Programs. OOC is focused on helping existing employers with expansion initiatives as well as in overcoming barriers that may be impeding business success. • Specialized Research and Technical Assistance. We provide businesses with information and data to assist in decision making. OOC coordinates and implements special economic development initiatives to enhance the potential to create and retain jobs in Oswego County. Some of these initiatives

include: • Industrial Parks. OOC operates five industrial/business parks in Oswego County — the Oswego County Industrial Park in Schroeppel, the Airport Industrial Park in Volney, the Lake Ontario Industrial Park in the city of Oswego, the Columbia Mills Business Park in Minetto and the Peck Road Industrial Site in the town of Richland. Other sites around the county are currently being studied for potential business parks. • Business Incubators. The Business Expansion Center in the city of Oswego is designed to help non-retail, industrial and service businesses achieve significant growth and development during the first few years of business with the intention of eventually relocating into private commercial space. Plans are being formulated to establish flexible spec building in the Oswego County Industrial Park in Schroeppel and converting the 43,000-square-foot former Price Chopper building in the city of Oswego into a small business incubator. Both spaces would be Start-Up NY eligible. • Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Program. OOC can help new and expanding businesses obtain Minority and Women Business Enterprises state designation, as well as other necessary development support. • SBA Certified Development Company. OOC is authorized to finance projects using the SBA 504 loan program which can fund up to 40 percent of fixed asset financing for eligible businesses at below market rates.

BUSINESS GUIDE 2O17 • Oswego County, Northern & Central New York

• USDA IRP Program. The IDA in cooperation with USDA has established a short term financing program for working capital and/or machinery and equipment. • IDA Administration. OOC provides, under contract, the administrative support for the IDA and helps to package and provide underwriting for all IDA economic development assistance utilizing IDA programs. • Domestic and International Marketing Program. OOC aggressively promotes and markets Oswego County for purposes of attracting new businesses and for enhancing the business climate image of the county. • Micro-Enterprise Training Program. OOC works cooperatively with the city of Fulton Community Development Agency, city of Oswego Community Development Office and the SUNY Oswego Office of Business and Community Relations to provide guidance and support to people interested in starting or expanding a small business. • Next Great Idea Program. OOC helps to encourage entrepreneurial development in Oswego County by coordinating a business plan competition that also features a grant to the winner to assist in implementing a business project. • Women’s Network for Entrepreneurial Training. OOC coordinates monthly meetings for women business owners to foster professional and personal growth through networking, presentations and round-table discussions. • Regional Collaboration. OOC is very active with the Central New York Regional Economic Development Council, the Central New York Regional Planning and Development Board, CenterState Center for Economic Opportunity, Empire State Development, and National Grid on efforts and initiatives to spur economic development and to expand and enhance the regional economy.

CEO Profiles Barry Trimble Company: The Eis House Position: Managing member With the company since: March 2014 In your current position since: March 2014 Education: High school and technical training. Career highlights: Executive, construction-related businesses; commercial property owner; own/manage taverns and restaurant; town of Palermo councilman for eight years. Current affiliations: Greater Oswego-Fulton Chamber of Commerce How do you describe your managerial philosophy or approach? Set stretch goals, hire competent people and give them the tools they need to succeed. Be there when they need me and stay out of their way when they don’t. What type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader? I have spent several years studying leadership and great leaders. Understanding leadership is essential to leading. Developing simple dashboards for key indicators allows the entire team to see what areas we are doing well in and the areas that need attention. It’s important to be comfortable with change and try new things. How can the business climate in the region be improved? We need to find a way to retain and attract the best and brightest 20- and 30-somethings to the county. A robust private sector is important to stability, job growth and providing challenging opportunities for the up and comers. Healthcare, private education, tourism and other service industries are areas that could provide these opportunities. What do you do for fun? Read non-fiction, golf and take walks in Oswego.

Charles ‘Chuck’ Gijanto Company: Oswego Health Position: President/chief executive officer Since what year with current company: September 2015 Since what year in current position: September 2015 Education: Bachelor’s degree in business administration from Siena College; master’s degree in health systems administration from the Rochester Institute of Technology. Career highlights: Oswego Health, president and CEO; Baystate Health (Western Massachusetts), president of regional markets; CVPH Medical Center (Plattsburgh), chief operating officer, chief financial officer, vice president for strategic business development; Fletcher Allen Healthcare (Burlington, Vt.), VP of financial services; Moses-Ludington Hospital (Ticonderoga), CFO; executive committee member, Massachusetts Hospital Association.

How do you describe your managerial philosophy or approach? I take my work very seriously, but I do not take myself seriously. I wouldn’t ask anyone to do any thing that I wouldn’t do myself, if I can. I believe in service-oriented leadership. It is important for leadership to walk a mile in our respective

staff’s shoes. We need to understand the challenges our staff faces in doing their work every day so we can try and help make their jobs a little easier. What type of skill set do you possess which makes you an effective leader? I try to be a good listener and overall believer in strong multi-directional communication. I think people in my prior organizations would say that I am approachable, willing to listen and try my best to do what is best for the organization. How can the business climate in the region be improved? Last year, I mentioned that it felt like Upstate New York has been left behind to some degree, but I find a lot of positive activity since that time throughout Central New York at the local, regional and state level. This is exciting to not only be a part of, but also to see first hand. Continued coordination of activity and collaboration among organizations, agencies and government can only help continue this direction. What do you do for fun? I run, bike, and in general enjoy the outdoors. I am also a “parrot head” (follower of Jimmy Buffett’s music). I like to read fiction, particularly stories of espionage.

Deborah F. Stanley Organization: SUNY Oswego Position: President Since what year in the current position: 1997 (interim president 1995-1997) Education: Juris Doctor, Syracuse University College of Law; Syracuse (admitted to practice in New York state); Bachelor of Arts in English, cum laude, Syracuse University. Career highlights: SUNY Oswego President Deborah Stanley’s tenure has been highlighted by academic excellence, campus renewal and the creation of a learner-centered environment. She established the Presidential Scholarship Program for outstanding academic achievers, the Possibility Scholarship Program, and the pioneering Oswego Guarantee that promises the necessary classes will be available for students to complete a degree within four consecutive years and, during those years, there will be no increase in the cost of room or meal plans. She enhanced the Oswego Guarantee with the Graduation ROI in 2013 — a $300 return on investment awarded to all first-time students who complete their baccalaureate degree in four years or less. Stanley initiated the successful national accreditation for the School of Education and national and international accreditation for the School of Business. She established the SUNY Oswego Metro Center in Syracuse, now a branch campus. Under her leadership, new programs such as electrical and computer engineering, human-com-

puter interaction, human development, cinema and screen studies and the online Master of Business Administration programs were established. Her campus-wide renewal plan, now in its second decade, encompasses hundreds of millions of dollars in renovations and construction, including the environmentally designated LEED Gold Shineman Center for Science, Engineering and Innovation. She launched Oswego’s first comprehensive fundraising campaign, spearheaded a massive upgrade of campus technology, Internet and laboratory equipment and guided the college to its most culturally diverse student body in SUNY Oswego’s history — 25.8 percent of the total undergraduate and graduate population — including a record-setting 33.8 percent of the first-year class — self-identified as culturally diverse at the start of the fall 2016 semester. In 2011, Stanley launched “With Passion and Purpose: The Campaign for SUNY Oswego.” The campaign engaged and inspired the Oswego family, including more than 16,000 donors representing alumni, employees, students, parents and friends and raised $43.48 million during the five-year (2011-2016) fundraising period. Current affiliations: National chairwoman, American Association of State Colleges and Universities board of directors; member, American Council on Education’s Commission on Leadership; charter signatory, American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment; member, Central New York Regional Economic Development Council; past board chairwoman, CenterState Corp. for Economic Opportunity. How do you describe your managerial philosophy or approach? I believe leadership in higher education is about working with all stakeholders to build a shared vision and foster a climate where there is genuine shared responsibility to establish compelling goals and achieve successful outcomes. Gathering individuals, framing discussions and listening carefully are essential elements to leading in this way. What type of skill set do you possess which makes you an effective leader? Grounded in teamwork and collaboration, I am adamant about accepting and seeking information from all constituents on and off campus to make the best use of our resources to collectively work to build on our institutional strengths — focused on today but with a keen eye on an even brighter tomorrow.

How can the business climate in the region be improved? The business climate in Oswego County can be improved by approaching this issue from three key directions: building a community that is rich with modern infrastructure, such as reliable and accessible highspeed Internet connectivity; targeting the most competitive and emerging industry sectors, and continuing to enact pro-growth legislation. All three approaches genuinely support the retention and expansion of existing business, as well as the growth of innovation in our regional economy. What do you do for fun? I enjoy golfing and traveling, especially when it involves visiting with family.

vidual and situational leadership skills; the ability to build a large network of team members; taking the time to coach, mentor, and develop your team; and the ability to remain positive and energized at all times, always remembering leading by example principles. Many may argue that critical thinking, strategic vision, the ability to plan, multi-task, and prioritize are key components of leadership; however, effective leaders lead people not things, and a leader without followers is just taking a stroll. How can the business climate in the region be improved? Manufacturing — In order to bring large employers into the county, the county has to provide a continuous supply of skilled workers (i.e. there needs to be a focused education-to-work platform that provides the skill sets and training for industry) Companies are no longer looking for entry-level skills for hire. They are looking for employee potential for advancement and succession planning for the future. Additionally, the county and state need to provide a business-friendly tax and regulatory environment as compared to competing states and counties to bring businesses in. Lastly, a solid, flexible economic transport infrastructure for materials, goods and services is required for functional business models. Retail: With any community near a metropolitan area, great education systems drive where people reside. Parents will always live in a community with the best schools and sacrifice commuting to ensure their children receive the best education. Communities with the best education systems in place will generally have stabilized housing markets and steady residential construction, which leads to an increase in retail development opportunities. There are many factors that affect economic growth or aggregate demand. However, human capital, consumption, investment, asset pricing, real wages and government spending are factors mentioned above which influence the Oswego County business climate. What do you do for fun? I enjoy spending time with my family and hunting.

I would say that my approach to leadership is a shared decision-making approach that empowers teacher-leaders and building level administrators to play an active role in researching best practices and using data to drive decisions throughout the district. We are continuing to make solid connections between data, effective instructional practices, and how we provide professional development to all staff as we shift from a focus on teaching to a focus on student learning. Our overarching goal is to accommodate all students’ learning needs in a welcoming environment where both students and staff feel empowered and invested on a daily basis. What type of skill sets do you possess that make you an effective leader? In my 20 years in education, I have worn many hats, as I was a teacher at the elementary, middle and high school levels. I have been very fortunate to have also been an administrator at the elementary and secondary levels. This has provided me with valuable insight regarding all educational matters as I have been directly connected to instruction at every level in a Pre-K-12 setting. This has helped me work with staff members at every level and has provided me with a level of credibility that all staff deserves. I like to think of myself as a listener first as I always seek first to understand and then be understood. I would never ask anyone to do something that I myself would not do. I absolutely love working with district level administrators, building principals and assistant principals, teachers and support staff, and our many wonderful students who expect to come to school everyday and be both challenged and supported. How can the business climate in the region be improved? I feel that the business climate in Oswego County has really stepped up in its support for education with its participation in P-TECH (Pathways in Technology Early College High School), which has been an amazing opportunity for several of our students that attend the grades 9-14 model and will receive their associate’s degrees upon graduation. I commend the Oswego County businesses that have stepped up and played a key role in this program, and I know many more Oswego County businesses will join as we all want to keep jobs in this great community and play a role in support-

ing students beyond graduation. What do you do for fun? Family is extremely important to my wife and I. On weekends, you can find me fishing with an amazingly supportive wife and two wonderful sons, aged 5 and 3. I also enjoy bringing my family to the many school-related evening activities, such as band competitions, sporting events, concerts and theatrical shows. It is truly a win-win for me because I get to spend quality time with my family doing things that they seem to enjoy, while supporting our school community.

A Medicare study revealed Oswego Hospital’s HAC scores were the best in the region. Also, Oswego Hospital’s maternity center, which enjoys a 98-percent patient satisfaction ranking, was recognized by two health care organizations for providing safe and high-quality care to new mothers and their babies. Also in 2016, Oswego Hospital earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for Hospital Accreditation by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Gold Seal of Approval is a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to providing safe and effective patient care. The Manor at Seneca Hill earned an overall 3-star rating, the highest overall score of any skilled nursing home facility in Oswego County in the most recent Centers for Medicare and Medicaid survey. Along with this overall score, the facility achieved a 4-star rating on quality. Oswego Health Home Care earned a 5-star rating, the highest possible from CMS for the care it provides its patients. In other developments:

• Collaboration with Syracuse Orthopedic Specialists, one of the best-known groups for orthopedic care in the region, brings SOS orthopedic surgeons to Oswego County to provide office visits at the Oswego Health Services Center and perform surgeries alongside Oswego Hospital’s orthopedic team in the hospital’s surgery center. • Plans are underway for the development of a wound management/oxygen therapy program at Oswego Health in early- to mid-2017. • The health system is working to develop a bariatric program and expects to begin offering care in 2017. The program will include weight loss surgery procedures, such as gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and adjustable gastric band, among others. • Oswego Health established a partnership, Oswego County Integrated Delivery Network, with other area health providers including Oswego County Opportunities, Northern Oswego County Health Services Inc., Oswego County Health and Social Services departments, and the Rural Health Network to better coordinate primary care services in the county. • 2016 also saw the installation of lowdose CT scanners in the Oswego Hospital, and the Central Square and Fulton medical centers. • Collaboration with the Oswego County Health Department has established an agenda to address the issues of obesity, suicide, and chronic disease. Initiatives are scheduled to begin in 2017. n Operations: Oswego Health is a nonprofit health care system that includes Oswego Hospital, a 164-bed community hospital providing acute medical, emergency, surgical, maternity and behavioral health care.

Exelon Generation Principal Executive: Peter Orphanos Site vice president, Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station Address: P.O. Box 63 Lycoming, NY 13093 Phone: 877-343-5464 Website: www.exeloncorp.com In Oswego County since: 1969 Total employment: 925 n What’s new: Entergy and Exelon filed a petition with New York regulators in August 2016 seeking approval of Exelon’s $110 million purchase of Entergy’s James A. FitzPatrick nuclear plant. A decision by the state’s Public Service Commission was expected by mid-November 2016. The petition said an investment decision on refueling the plant must be made promptly, as FitzPatrick’s current fuel cycle was expected to end about Jan. 31, 2017. Entergy said in 2015 it would close the money-losing plant in early 2017. Exelon agreed to purchase the generator after the PSC adopted a subsidy for the no-carbon emission attributes of nuclear power. FitzPatrick, which produces an average 7 million megawatts annually, is licensed to operate through 2034. If approved, Exelon would own all of the Upstate nuclear fleet in New York: FitzPatrick, R.E. Ginna and Nine Mile Point 1 and 2. They total 2,267 megawatts, or 5.9 percent of the generating capacity in the New York Independent System Operator, according to the companies.

Entergy would still own the only other nuclear plant in the state, Indian Point in the Lower Hudson Valley. n Operations: Exelon Corporation (NYSE: EXC) is a Fortune 100 energy company with the largest number of utility customers in the United States. Exelon does business in 48 states, the District of Columbia and Canada and had 2015 revenues of $34.5 billion.

Total employment: 128 n What’s new: In 2015, the city of Fulton and the town of Granby received $200,000 in special state funding to continue to fund the dredging of Lake Neatahwanta and ultimately make the body of water usable again. For more than 25 years, the beaches surrounding Lake Neatahwanta have been closed to the public due to poor water quality resulting from excess sediment clogging the openings of natural springs. In addition, excess sediment also carried with it phosphorus, which has led to an overgrowth of blue-green algae on the lake, reducing oxygen levels and posing a threat to wildlife and bathers. The city’s goal is to restore Stephenson’s Beach to swimming quality water. The former Nestle Co. complex is being redeveloped to accommodate retail and housing to replace its manufacturing status that existed for so many years. n Operations: The villages of Fulton and Oswego Falls consolidated in 1902 to become the city of Fulton. It has a population of 11,655 and a budget of approximately $15 million. There are seven department administrators under the direction of the mayor.

SUNY Upstate Medical University completed its acquisition of Community General Hospital in 2011. The former Community General

campus was renamed Upstate University Hospital’s Community General campus. Upstate conducts around $40 million in medical research annually.

By 1918, the hospital’s services had expanded and its name was again changed, this time to Syracuse Memorial Hospital. In 1929, the hospital moved to its current location. Crouse Irving Hospital, which operated across the street from Syracuse Memorial, was founded in 1912 by a group of physicians and investors led by William Wallace.
