Operation Oswego County: An Economic and Job Development Corporation Serving Oswego County
O
By L. Michael Treadwell, CEcD, executive director, Operation Oswego County
peration Oswego County (OOC) is a private, non-profit organization that works to enhance and sustain 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 $4.3 billion in investments and more than 25,000 new and retained jobs to Oswego County. We have grown from a local, voluntary, community-spirited development organization to becoming a countywide comprehensive and 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 supported by a combination of voluntary contributions, local, state and federal governmental funding, and through administrative services contracts for economic development. As a county-wide, 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. 8
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 eligi-
ble 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

I also truly valued my time as the principal of Riley and Minetto elementary schools. Being an elementary school principal is the best job in the world because it’s a good balance of leadership and still maintaining a connection to students, teachers and families.” Current affiliations: President, Port City Educational Foundation, Inc.; member, School Administrators Association of New York State; member, New York State Council of School Superintendents; member, United University Professionals. How do you describe your managerial philosophy or approach? “I’m a collaborative leader. My leadership profile is based on the Kouzes and Posner “Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership” model, which I used as the foundation for my doctoral dissertation. We are data-driven but really more people-driven. Education is a people business and you have to be dynamic, even as a teacher. I interview all the finalists for teaching positions because I want to see if I would want to sit in their class. I didn’t come here from another district — everyone knows who I am and I would treat all staff members with respect and collegiality. I treat our building and grounds staff members the same as I would a member of my executive cabinet.” What type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader? “Communication and experience. I followed a traditional path to the superintendency — I spent many years as a teacher and principal, building my credibility and took that with me to the central offices when I was named assistant superintendent. I very methodically built my ladder and it’s worked out. I make every decision, whether it be for the budget,
14
or hiring a teacher, or programming at the high school, as if all our students were my own children and how it will affect them.” How can the business climate in the region be improved? “Support and enhance the education in our community and continue to enhance partnerships with organizations like SUNY Oswego, Oswego Health and other component school districts in our county. If we produce more fully prepared and life-ready graduates, they can come back and make their own successful lives in Oswego. I tell our graduates — go out and get a great education and hopefully many of you will come back because Oswego is a great place to live and raise a family.” What do you do for fun? “I love to cook and spend time with my family, including my wife, children and most recently, my new grandson born last September. I also volunteer with the School Administrators Association of New York State and work with administrators who are under pressure.
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 in Syracuse branch campus. Under her leadership, new programs such as electrical and computer engineering, human-computer interaction, human development, cinema and screen studies and the online Master of Business Administration programs were established.
Her ambitious 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-certified projects including the Shineman Center for Science, Engineering and Innovation, the Village Townhouses, and Rice Creek Field Station. She launched Oswego’s first comprehensive fundraising campaign, and spearheaded a massive upgrade of campus technology, internet and laboratory equipment. Stanley also guided the college to its most culturally diverse student body in SUNY Oswego’s history — 28 percent of the total undergraduate and graduate population — including a record-setting 35 percent of the first-year class — self-identified as culturally diverse at the start of the fall 2017 semester. In 2017, Stanley established the Leighton Learning Community in partnership with the Oswego City School District. The new Leighton Learning Community classroom, located on the grounds of Leighton Elementary School, exposes SUNY Oswego students to practicum and methods coursework, and hands-on opportunities to learn from professional teachers and interact with local elementary school children. She also partnered with Pathfinder Bank, the city of Oswego and the Greater Oswego-Fulton Chamber of Commerce to move the SUNY Oswego Office of Business and Community Relations downtown to 34 E. Bridge St., in the Pathfinder Bank Building, and create a Business Resource Center at the nearby 121 E. First St. location. The decision to move OBCR downtown and develop a Business Resource Center — providing a broad range of services to entrepreneurs, startups and established businesses at the hub of downtown Oswego’s east side — already had a strong foundation in SUNY Oswego’s strategic plan. Titled “Tomorrow,” the plan dedicates the college to engaging and partnering with local, national and international communities to make an impact through research, community service and economic development for collective prosperity, equity, resilience and success. Stanley has led the development of new international programs at SUNY Oswego with several creative new formats for study abroad added to a broad list of traditional offerings. As a result, the college has been recognized as a leader in study abroad, according to the authoritative Open Doors annual report in 2016, and lauded for its excellence and innovation in international education by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities in the fall of 2017. Current affiliations: National chairwoman, American Association of State Colleges and Universities board of directors; board of directors, American Council on Education; member, American Council on Education’s Commission on Leadership; charter signatory, American College and University Presidents’

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 supporting 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.”

Overall, the company grew by approximately 5 percent in 2017. To support the higher sales, additional production employees were hired in the second half of 2017. The outlook remains optimistic and the company is gearing up for more growth in 2018.
ØØ Operations: Incorporated in 1961 under the name Lee Schoeller Papers, the company manufactured photographic, digital imaging and specialty papers at the Pulaski site from 1964 until 2005. The Schoeller Group was then restructured to meet the changes in the imaging printing market as well as paper manufacturing technologies. As a result, paper manufacturing was ceased in Pulaski and the operation focused on converting and the distribution of imaging and specialty paper products for the North American market. Over the last 10 years, the facility has been transformed into a world-class paper-converting center. The site also houses the North American sales and marketing group and financial and administrative services. With a total of 15 manufacturing lines and around 250 employees, Felix Schoeller North America is the country’s largest converting
company for high-quality photographic and digital printing products.

BUSINESS GUIDE 2O18 • Oswego County, Northern & Central New York
supply of New York-grown and malted grains for the craft beverage industry, as required by the 2012 Farm Brewing Law. Annual production is 2,000 tons of malt and the facility will employ eight direct new employees. • New York State Sen. Chuck Schumer visited the new 1886 Malt House in 2017 while advocating for the federal government to make insurance available for barley crop growers throughout the entire state. The senator said it will entice more farmers to grow barley, which can be vulnerable depending on weather conditions. ØØ Operations: For nearly 25 years, the town of Volney was home to a Miller Brewing plant. The plant sat vacant until 2007 when it was repurposed as an ethanol production facility valued at over $200 million. In 2009, the owners filed for bankruptcy and the facility was sold for $8.5 million to Sunoco. Sunoco immediately invested more than $20 million to improve processes and technologies with the goal of creating one of the most technologically advanced bio-fuel production facilities in the United States. On June 21, 2010, the facility returned to production and 24/7/365 operation. At full production rate, this advanced production facility is able to produce in excess of 85 million gallons of fuel-grade ethanol per year, millions of pounds of dried distillers grains and carbon dioxide, and nearly 2 million gallons of corn oil for biodiesel production. The facility purchases over 20 percent of New York’s corn production every year, contributing in excess of $100 million to the state’s economy through corn purchases alone. A new addition is a malting operation — the 1886 Malt House — that will use 2,000 tons annually of New York-grown barley and other small grains. The malted grain from this operation will be sold as a raw ingredient for the local craft beverage industry.

ØØ What’s new: Due to enrollment numbers, the Central Square Central School District was able to operate more efficiently by closing Central Square Intermediate School and leasing it to the Center for Instruction, Technology & Innovation for the 2017-2018 school year. The students from CSI have been consolidated into Hastings-Mallory Elementary, bringing that building from 51 percent capacity to a healthier 80 percent capacity. It also increased the number of students at Millard Hawk Elementary as that has been transitioned from a Pre-K-2 building to a Pre-K-5 building, which is consistent with the other three elementary schools across the district. The district office has been moved into the Paul V. Moore High School, which is another way to efficiently utilize funds as the 82
district clearly moves in the direction of supporting students rather than buildings that are no longer needed. The district is in the midst of a $40.8 million capital project that will provide all of its schools with much needed renovations that will continue to enhance the learning environment. The district has also recently completed a district-wide Wi-Fi cabling project.

ØØ Operations: The Central Square Central School District has one high school, Paul V. Moore, grades 9-12; one middle school, Central Square Middle School, which houses grades 6-8; and four pre-k-5 elementary buildings — Brewerton, Aura A. Cole, Hastings-Mallory, and Millard Hawk.

ØØ What’s new: The Oswego City School District saw numerous bold and innovative initiatives for the 2016-2017 school year consistent with the district’s student-centered mission and vision to create fully prepared and life-ready students. • For the second year in a row, taxpayers overwhelmingly approved the district’s budget with just shy of 70 percent of the vote. District administration and the board of education worked exhaustively to craft a budget that is responsible to taxpayers while also maintaining and increasing student opportunities. • A new partnership with SUNY Oswego, dubbed the Leighton Learning Community, places upper-level education students from the college within Frederick Leighton Elementary School for both instruction and hands-on experience with Leighton teachers and students. In its second semester, the program has been extraordinarily successful in both training future teachers and providing the benefit of added classroom assistance to established Leighton educators. • The School and Administrators Association of New York State and the National Association of Elementary School Principals selected Oswego Middle School Principal Mary Beth Fierro as the 2017 New York State Middle School Principal of the Year. Fierro, who has served as OMS principal since 2011, is the first OCSD principal to receive the award. • The district saw an overhaul of its central offices in 2017, eliminating the position of assistant superintendent and establishing an executive director cabinet structure. Heidi Sweeney, formerly the Oswego High School principal, was promoted to the position of executive director of secondary education and personnel. Carrie Plasse was appointed executive director of elementary education and accountability. Nancy Squairs was

After gaining acceptance in the P-TECH program, ninth-grade students work toward earning a Regents High School Diploma and an associate’s degree in applied science from Onondaga Community College, at no cost to the student’s family. In January of 2017, New York State Sen. Patty Ritchie (R-Oswegatchi) visited the CiTi campus and toured the Oswego County P-TECH program. P-TECH is focused on knowledge and skills students need for science, technology, engineering and match careers with an advanced manufacturing path. — At the request of its nine component school districts, CiTi unveiled full-day career technical education offerings in the fall of 2017. The traditional half-day CTE model still exists, but the new option offers innovative instruction to ninth through 12th grade students in a non-traditional education setting. — In 2017, the CiTi received two awards for achievement in educational communications from the New York State Public Relations Association. — In September of 2017, CiTi began offering easier access to hearing evaluations, central auditory process evaluations, hearing aid and hearing assistance technology verification and frequency modulation/digital modulation verification services thanks to its own EARV, an educational audiology mobile unit. — CiTi recently released its first-ever Central New York Deaf/HH Teens magazine featuring the biographies, struggles and successes of Central New York teens that are hard of hearing. — The Center for Career and Community Education held an open house in August of 2017, marking the official opening of the new facilities housing the adult education programs offered in partnership with Cayuga Community College and the CiTi.

ØØ What’s new: In 2017, the city of Oswego under the Barlow administration rewrote the city zoning code and reduced the city’s workforce to mitigate tax increases. The city also spent $750,000 in road paving while investing in city parks. The city was also successful in acquiring a $500,000 grant from the New York State Department of Transportation’s Transportation Alternatives Program for a Complete Streets streetscape makeover on West Bridge Street. The plan calls for transforming a critical downtown intersection into a pedestrian- and bike-friendly area with features such as sidewalks that are ADA-compliant; crosswalks and sidewalk bump-outs; street striping; and green infrastructure. In 2018, the city will complete $1.5 million in pavement improvements on state Route 104 along with $80,000 in river walk improvements. ØØ Operations: The city of Oswego is situated on the southeastern shore of Lake Ontario, boasting astonishing sunsets.

Its many parks afford a panoramic view of Lake Ontario, and it offers a well-preserved historic site at Fort Ontario. Oswego was incorporated as a village on March 14, 1828 and the Oswego Canal, a branch of the Erie Canal, reached the area in 1829. The city was incorporated in 1848. William J. Barlow, Jr., the youngest mayor in New York state, and a seven member Common Council govern the city, which has an annual operating budget of approximately $45 million. In 2016, the city of Oswego and the new Barlow administration embarked on several overhauls citywide to enhance services, attract new residents and move Oswego forward. In addition to winning $10 million in Downtown Revitalization Initiative funding from New York state, the city took a new approach to constituent services and began focusing on the small details that help beautify Oswego and add to its appeal.

ØØ Operations/history:New York Air Brake produces train brakes and train control systems for the railroad industry. The Watertown facility includes a state-of-the-art engineering research test lab and a testing center for train control products. The railway supplier was founded in 1890 and was among the first companies to manufacture air brake control valves for freight trains. Beginning in 2015, a new and safer air brake control valve is being manufactured in Watertown that ensures there is always air pressure available to activate freight car brakes, regardless of how long the engineer applies the brakes.
