Operation Oswego County: An Economic and Job Development Corporation Serving Oswego County

By L. Michael Treadwell, CEcD, Executive Director, Operation Oswego County

O

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 $3.2 billion in investments and more than 19,590 new and retained jobs to Oswego County.

We have grown from a local, voluntary, community-spirited development organization to becoming the county’s designated economic development arm.

We are guided by a board of directors made up of community-minded people from business, labor, education, and government throughout Oswego County.

We are 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 firms access appropriate financing from the Small Business Administration (SBA),

8

Empire State Development Corporation, the County of Oswego Industrial Development Agency (IDA) and other state, local and federal financing sources. We also help firms secure bank financing, which is always the primary source of funds for any project.

• Planning and Coordination. We can help firms with permitting, zoning and coordinating activities with state and local agencies.

• Industry/Government Liaison.

OOC serves as a liaison between firms 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, utility discounts 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 three industrial parks in Oswego County — the Oswego County Industrial Park off state Route 481 in Schroeppel, the Airport Industrial Park in Volney, and the Lake Ontario Industrial Park in the city of Oswego. Other sites around the county are currently being studied for potential business parks.

• Business Incubators. The start-up facilities in the Oswego County Industrial Park in Schroeppel and the Business Expansion Center in the city of Oswego

are 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 moving out of the building and into private commercial space.

• Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise Program. OOC can help new and expanding businesses obtain MWBE 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% of fixed asset financing for eligible businesses at below market rates.

• IDA Administration. OOC provides the administrative support for the IDA and helps to package and provide underwriting for all IDA economic development assistance utilizing IDA programs.

• Micro-Enterprise Training Program. OOC works cooperatively with the City of Fulton CDA, City of Oswego CDO 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.

• 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.

For more information on these programs and other economic development services in Oswego County, call OOC at 343-1545 or visit www.oswegocounty. org.

We do. Since the state of New York does

not require electricians to be licensed or certified, we have set rigorous standards that ensure our electricians and contractors are the most skilled, productive, and highly trained professionals in the industry. We’re the professional contractors of the National Electrical Contractors Association and the skilled electricians of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 43. And to prove our skills and training, we proudly wear the Certified Card-our customers’ visual guarantee of safe, high-quality electrical construction work.

NECA contractors wear the Contractor Card as proof of their extensive project management skills.

IBEW electricians earn the Certification Card by undergoing 10,000 hours of training through the jointly funded Central New York Apprenticeship Training Program. And continuing education keeps them current on the latest technologies and safety techniques. This extensive training results in a project that is completed on time and on budget-translating into cost-effective projects for our customers. Together, we have the expertise and experience to provide unsurpassed-quality electrical construction work for every type of project-from large, complex industrial projects and high-tech installations to our community’s homes, schools, and hospitals.

Get the proof you need - just look for the Certification Card to be sure you have NECA and IBEW’s Tradition of Excellence working for you. For a free directory of NECA/ IBEW contractors, call 1-800-232-NECA

■ What are the things which you are most proud of about your company? “I am proud of our staff, who continue to push forward even amid all the change and uncertainty of a weak economy and a constantly shifting field of regulations and funding streams. This past year, our staff members have made many positive gains in our Rehabilitation Services Department, Finance and Business Opportunities Departments. The Board of Directors and the administrative staff for Oswego Industries, Inc. may set the direction for our nonprofit; but as always it is the staff we rely on to carry out that vision in their daily work and to move the organization in the direction in which it needs to go.”

■ What do you do for fun? “Whatever free time I have, I am usually finding a way to

spend time with my first granddaughter, born in 2010. Watching her development and spending time with my family is always a joy and delight.”

Unit 1 is a 620-megawatt reactor that entered service in 1969 and Unit 2 is a 1,138-megawatt reactor that began operation in 1986.

Unit 1 is licensed to operate until 2029; Unit 2 until 2046. Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station generates electricity 24/7 without producing greenhouse gases and therefore provides significant environmental benefits to the community and the region.

Constellation Energy Nuclear Group, LLC, headquartered in Baltimore, Md., is a strategic joint venture of Constellation Energy (NYSE: CEG) and EDF Group.

CENG owns and operates three generating stations: Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, in Lusby, Md.; R.E. Ginna Nuclear Power Plant in Ontario, N.Y and Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station in Scriba. The 2009 annual electricity production was more than 32 million megawatt-hours, meeting the energy needs of 2.5 million homes. CENG has approximately 2,800 employees. In November 2009, Constellation Energy and EDF Development Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of EDF Group) formed a strategic joint venture under

which EDF Development, Inc. acquired a 49.99 percent interest in Constellation Energy Nuclear Group, LLC. � What’s new: Constellation Energy Nuclear Group (CENG) invested millions in proactive maintenance and upgrades to Unit 2 during the spring refueling outage.

More than 1,000 supplemental workers supported completion of this work. Nine Mile Point hosted a multi-disciplinary team from the Institute of Nuclear Power Operations which conducted a peer review focused on evaluating nuclear plant safety, reliability and performance levels. CENG’s top value is safety and the installation of interim dry cask storage facilities at its three nuclear power plants allows for continued safe storage of used nuclear fuel. CENG will utilize dry shielded canisters housed in specially designed storage facilities at each of its nuclear power plants. In 2010, the first phase of the project began at Nine Mile Point with construction of concrete pads.

The project is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2012. In 2011, CENG will again invest millions of dollars in ensuring continued safe and reliable operations through proactive maintenance and upgrades to Unit 1 during the spring refueling outage.

� Operations: Oswego Health is a not-forprofit healthcare system that includes Oswego Hospital, a 164-bed community hospital; The Manor at Seneca Hill, a skilled nursing facility; Springside at Seneca Hill, an independent retirement community; an Urgent Care Center in Fulton; and Health Service Centers in Mexico, Parish and Phoenix. Oswego Health provides laboratory and imaging services throughout Oswego County and operates the Lakeside Heart Center in Oswego. The organization also provides occupational health services as well as behavioral health services for children, adolescents and adults. � What’s new: Oswego Health completed work on its new emergency room late in 2010. The department now has the latest technology, including a central cardiac monitoring system. Most of the patient rooms are private, spacious and, along with state-of-the-art equipment, feature patient comforts such as their own televisions. This major renovation also provides the community with an intermediate care unit, a new service at Oswego Hospital that provides care to patients who need constant monitoring, but not the services offered in the intensive care unit. A new laboratory, main lobby and snack bar are other project enhancements that were completed earlier in 2010. In March 2011, the last phase of the $18 million project will provide residents with a completely new medical imaging department that will have the best radiology equipment in the region. Last May, at a celebration thanking the greater Fulton community for the Urgent Care Center’s successful first year, Oswego Health announced plans for a major renovation of the facility, which will be renamed the Fulton Medical Center. The new medical center will provide services in more comfortable and private areas.

The Urgent Care Center will feature nine private rooms, while an expanded medical imaging department will include

distributions operations. Entergy owns and operates power plants with approximately 30,000 megawatts of electric generating capacity, and it is the secondlargest nuclear generator in the United States. Entergy delivers electricity to 2.7 million utility customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. Entergy has annual revenues of over $10 billion and approximately 15,000 employees.

The nuclear businesses of Entergy Corp.

(NYSE: ETR) are headquartered in Jackson, Miss. Entergy Nuclear operates five reactors at four locations in Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana under regulatory jurisdictions, and six reactors at five sites in Massachusetts, New York, Vermont and Michigan. Entergy Nuclear also provides management services to Nebraska Public Power District’s Cooper Nuclear Station. In Oswego County, Entergy operates the 855-megawatt James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant in Scriba. Entergy and its employees are committed to the community, annually supporting more than 60 community programs and initiatives. � What’s new: FitzPatrick reached 702 days of safe, continuous operation on Sept. 12, 2010, just prior to a shutdown to start the station’s 19th refueling outage. The record performance places FitzPatrick first in the number of days of continuous operation within the Entergy nuclear fleet and seventh all-time for all the boiling water reactors in the United States. This FitzPatrick milestone ends an impressive “breaker to breaker run” while operating from one refueling outage to the next without taking the plant offline. While refueling was the major task during the outage, Entergy took advantage of the plant’s off-line status to perform many maintenance activities and surveillance testing, tasks which cannot be accomplished when the plant is running.

� Operations: The Fulton operation was acquired by Finland-based Huhtamaki in 1998. Formerly known as Sealright, the plant has been operating for more than 100 years. Now it specializes in providing shaped paperboard packaging and filling systems focusing on primarily the food industry. Capabilities include both litho and flexo printing which complements a wide array of forming equipment. It also manufactures “bulk” packaging for ice cream, servicing retail “dipping” stores.

In 2001, the company’s name was changed from Sealright to Huhtamaki Consumer Packaging Business Unit—Fulton. In August of that year, Huhtamaki announced a major expansion that added about 60 jobs to make the company Fulton’s largest employer. The expansion is the result of the relocation of the paper cup portion of the company’s East Providence, R.I. plant to Fulton. The entire expansion plan took about two months and was helped by an incentive package put together by Operation Oswego County. The package included tax credits, training funding, federal and state grants, and an extended PILOT agreement. The Fulton facility is part of an 11-plant manufacturing system in North America.

Fort Drum Principal Executive: Noel Nicolle Garrison commander Address: Public Affairs Office S. Riva Ridge Loop Bldg 10011 Fort Drum, NY 13602 Phone: 772-5461 Fax: 772-8295 E-mail: drum.pao@conus.army.mil Website: www.drum.army.mil Total employment: 22,805 � Operations: Home of the 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry) and anchor to many associated businesses, the 10,765acre Fort Drum largely dominates the economic landscape of the North Country. Fort Drum, originally named Pine Camp, has been used as a military training site since 1908. During World War II the camp, renamed Camp Drum, was massively expanded. Workers constructed 240 barracks, 84 mess halls, 86 storehouses, 58 warehouses, 27 officers’ quarters, 22 headquarters buildings, 99 recreational buildings, a hospital and numerous guardhouses. In 1985, the Army activated the 10th Mountain Division after selecting Fort Drum as the division’s new home during the previous year. The 10th Mountain Division is trained for rapid deployment by land, sea or air.

Fort Drum was outfitted with additional barracks to house an additional 5,000 troops who arrived at the base by the end of 2004. World War II-era buildings are also being renovated to be better able to handle the increased number of personnel. The development, construction and management of 554 single family, duplex homes for the Fort Drum Army Base were under way in 2009. The project is expected to cost approximately $184 million, including $75 million in additional

84

federal government equity contributions granted by Congress. It’s expected to be complete by July 2011. � What’s new: Fort Drum is a prominent fiber in the fabric of the Northern New York community. The installation provides employment for more than 4,000 area residents and millions of dollars in trade for local businesses. Soldiers and their family members receive medical care from local health care providers and enroll in local schools and colleges.

Staunch community support by way of programs such as Project Strong Communities and Operation Yellow Ribbon further connect our military and civilian communities. The resulting economic and social impact benefits not only Northern New York, but New York State as a whole. In April 2010, Fort Drum Deputy to the Garrison Commander, Judith L. Gentner, was awarded the Decoration for Exceptional Civilian Service. In May 2010, Fort Drum brought home its first Army Communities of Excellence Award under the category of exemplary practices for transforming the way soldiers in the field treat culturally sensitive places such as religious sites, historical places and ruins. In June 2010, Fort Drum officially opened its new meditation labyrinth. The Fort Drum Cultural Resources Program used money earned from their 2009 Best Overall Cultural Resource Team in the Department of Defense Award to fund the labyrinth.

A nonprofit independent licensee of the BlueCross BlueShield Association

The operative word in health care.

Most health care is delivered locally. Collaboration to address today’s health care issues and plan for tomorrow’s needs also should be local. Excellus BlueCross BlueShield collaborates with local businesses, community and civic organizations, educators, members and health care providers to make high-quality health care accessible and affordable for the people who live and work here. That’s why we’re here.
