OPERATION OSWEGO COUNTY Operation Oswego County is an Economic and Job Development Corporation Serving Oswego County

OPERATION OSWEGO COUNTY (OOC) is a private, nonprofit 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 $4.8 billion in investments and over 29,000 new and retained jobs to Oswego County.

We have grown from a local, voluntary, community-spirited development organization to becoming a county-wide 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: n Site Selection Assistance. An inventory of industrial sites and available buildings enables us to find homes for new businesses quickly. n 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), the CNY REDC CFA process 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. n Planning and Coordination. We can help businesses with permitting, zoning and coordinating activities with state and local agencies. n Industry/Government Liaison. OOC serves as a liaison between companies and governmental agencies. n 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. n 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. n Specialized Research and Technical Assistance. We provide businesses with information and data to assist in decision making. This can be during the attraction process or with existing employers looking to grow and expand their business in Oswego County.

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: n Industrial/Business 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. n Manufacturing Start-Up Facility.

Career Highlights: “I joined the KPH Healthcare Services, Inc. organization in 2019 as vice president of government affairs and healthcare services integration. In addition to my role as president of Kinney Drugs, I currently serve as the KPH patient safety and HIPAA officer, where I provide leadership and direction to the organization’s patient safety strategy. I am responsible for continuously evaluating and improving patient safety programs based on internal needs and external requirements and standards. Before joining KPH, I had a 14-year career with Walgreens, where I most recently served as

BUSINESS GUIDE 2022 | Oswego County, Northern & Central New York

regional healthcare director for New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.”

Current affiliations: “I was appointed to the NYS Board of Pharmacy in 2014 and I am currently serving my second term as chairman. I was selected to join the Albany College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences President’s Advisory Council in 2015 and Binghamton University’s School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences President’s Advisory Committee in 2016.

Any vision of our future begins by looking in the rear view mirror — back at our 118-year history. I believe that our past has so much power and no one can doubt that our employee owners are passionate about their work. “ What skills make you an effective leader? “While my experience will serve me well in this role, I feel that my technical skills, professional knowledge, and my understanding of the healthcare and retail landscape will allow me to be effective. I believe that the role of President is not to provide the solutions to our most demanding challenges, but to convene the conversations that will solve those problems, allow our company to grow, find new and better ways to serve our customers and patients, and maintain our place as an employer of choice in New York and Vermont. I will foster a climate of transparency, rigorous debate, and mutual respect so that once a decision is made, we act with unified and deliberate purpose to achieve clear objectives.”

How can the business climate in the region be improved? “Collectively, our entire region can do so much to improve the overall business climate. Creating and maintaining a business climate that stimulates development must be at the core of any effort to initiate growth.

Partnering with local business and entities allows everyone to learn. Partnerships give us knowledge. This was clearly demonstrated to me during the early phases of the COVID-19 pandemic. Kinney Drugs was able to turn to our local business partners to get many of the supplies that we needed to serve our patients and customers. Our local distilleries started making hand sanitizer for us. Our local

hardware stores found the plastic and made the shields that we installed at all our cash registers. These are just two small examples of how we can work together locally. I feel that our entire region — and definitely our company — are filled with people who work hard, are genuine, and we believe in taking care of each other. Together we can uncover new ways of doing business that turn challenges into opportunities and support each other both in business and in our communities.”

What do you do for fun? “My wife, Lauren, and I have two boys, Nico and JJ, and two boxers, Junie and Billy. We love spending time with the kids and the dogs, just hanging out at home or watching the boys play sports. Both of our boys play lacrosse and hockey, so we spend a lot of time in the rink and on the field.”

How would you describe your managerial philosophy or approach? “Communication and patience. I have always found that having open and honest communication makes the difference for really understanding the change, understanding the pros and cons of change, and identifying where the opportunities lie.

I’m also of the belief that change will happen, so it’s up to you to have a positive attitude and be consistent. Stick to what you believe, but make sure you look at every side of a situation.

Navigating through change is easier when you can find ways to maintain structure and consistency.”

What skills make you an effective leader? “I believe in fostering an environment of inclusiveness — inviting and encouraging other people’s thoughts, opinions, and ideas - and allowing those diverse voices to shape our strategy and approach. I also find that keeping an open mind helps navigate dynamic environments, which is vital to my work at Excellus BCBS. When working with customers, I strive to understand their needs, keep an open mind, and deliver solutions that meet those needs.

In Central New York, where Excellus BCBS is fortunate to have a strong market presence, a subscriber may also be a community leader, a provider, or a board member. Understanding their perspectives and meeting or surpassing their expectations is key to building and maintaining successful relationships.”

How can the business climate in the region be improved? “A thriving business climate requires a healthy community where health disparities are being addressed, including some of the most basic needs like access to health care, food and housing. We recently made an important commitment in this space with our Health Equity Awards, which we offered for the first time this past year to nonprofits in Central New York who are working at eliminating health disparities. We will continue to look for and invest in opportunities to build a healthier, more engaged community — which will create new relationships and strengthen existing ones, leading to growth in our local economy and region.”

What do you do for fun? “I do what I can to stay active during my off hours by walking, bike riding, and playing golf. As a parent, I’m enjoying all of the activities my son is engaged in, including Scouting and football. These things allow me to have quality time with my family while staying healthy. I like watching sports, and being involved in community initiatives and connecting with people. I also simply enjoy spending time in our Central New York/Upstate region. It’s beautiful with its changing seasons and offers outlets for a variety of activities.”

You’ll often find me making rounds between departments to just help build rapport.

careers at Oswego Health.”

How can the healthcare industry in the region be improved? “Collaboration is essential to the success of improving healthcare. Every great community consists of key pillars — a viable educational system such as SUNY Oswego, industrial powerhouses such as Exelon Generation and Novelis, and access to affordable healthcare. These pillars though individually unique, must all work together to benefit the overall community as a hole and we believe right here in Oswego County we have those key pillars. If we are all working in unison to support one another, there will be huge economic gains. Together we can attract and retain the best talent. Together we can improve quality of life and overall safety of our community. And lastly, if we work together, we can improve the local community right here in Oswego County.

Through strategic organizational goals established by our senior leadership team utilizing defined metrics and collaboration with other community providers and healthcare partners, we have a comprehensive blueprint for success.”

Both of these have helped us continue to be successful over these past few challenging years.”

• In 2021, OCO used special funding to make improvements to its internet presence, bringing in a social media specialist to equip staff with skills needed to take full advantage of a virtual presence for their service areas.

Use of social media to interact with existing and potential clients ramped up significantly in 2020 and not only has it continued throughout 2021, it is expected to remain as a critical communication and engagement tool.

CARES Act funding through the Community Services Block Grant helped OCO provide tuition assistance to eligible families to enroll their children in OCO’s daycare center, as well as rental assistance and rapid rehousing funds to support individuals and families who were either homeless or facing an imminent threat of homelessness.

• Telehealth has continued to be an important resource for routine appointments and for support for mentally ill consumers served by OCO. OCO is partnering with the Statewide Senior Action Council to host a telehealth portal at its Fulton office, where individuals who lack internet access can schedule and conduct visits virtually with medical providers.

Lack of reliable and affordable internet access remains a significant barrier to overcoming poverty, and this partnership demonstrates OCO’s commitment to expanding resources to meet this need.

• OCO continues to address the lack of shortage of safe, affordable housing. Selkirk Landing Apartments is under construction in the village of Pulaski as a collaborative project with Two Plus Four Development and Construction Company. When completed, the project will have 64 affordable housing units and OCO’s Behavioral Health Services will have oversight of 20 of those units, to serve

eligible residents living with mental health and chemical addiction recovery. The first of the units may be occupied as early as December 2021/January 2022.

• 2021 also was a year of staffing challenges. Like most employers, OCO had to develop new and creative strategies to attract candidates who will be successful and find fulfillment with OCO’s poverty fighting mission.

As it continues into 2022, OCO will focus even more intently on staff recruitment and development with hybrid and remote work schedules, staggered hours and other benefits. nn Operations: Oswego County Opportunities is the county’s community action agency, providing care management services, housing, addiction recovery, education, health care, transportation, crisis services, advocacy and prevention for all ages. OCO provides more than 50 diverse services that help empower people as they move from poverty to prosperity.

OCO invests in people, enabling them to reach their full potential. That investment means more than 90 cents of every $1 spent by OCO goes directly into its services. OCO’s mission is accomplished through the combined efforts of nearly 600 professional employees and approximately 1,200 volunteers. This team delivers a needed array of services to nearly 16,000 individuals annually.

Riverwalk Pizza & Bagel has hired more than 45 people including many full-time positions to make dough, form bagels, manage the kitchen and operate the foodservice lines. Oswego Renaissance Association Downtown Challenge Grant funds helped with the addition of sidewalk seating. Opening online and app orders for Riverwalk Oswego has also been a success, with many fans of the easy app pickup shelves. Perfecting the bagel sandwich line and pizza assembly line for quality assurance is the ongoing goal for 2021 and beyond.

Local contractors working on the Riverwalk development from 2019-2021 included SJ

Thomas Construction, Oswego Mechanical, Phoenix Electric, CJ Demars HVAC, Shawn Malone Excavating, Interstate Concrete, JP Race Painting, Kelley Brothers, LeMoyne Interiors, Effects Group, PWF Enterprises, Maier Construction and many others.

The Riverwalk Salon Suites feature nine individual suites with 10 independent stylists offering a variety of salon services. This location offers stylists the opportunity to operate their own unique salon, instead of booth rental. Coming in 2022 is Riverwalk Coffee Roasters in the building adjacent to the pocket park.

Its improved digital presence at thatscooperativeextension.org and social media websites have been an important connection to the community CCE Oswego serves.

Their 4-H Youth Development Program is celebrating 100 years in Oswego County from Oct. 1, 2021, through Sept. 30, 2022. It has continued to organize and present fun and educational virtual programs and some in-person, for 4-H and other youth throughout the county.

The Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center also resumed in-person programming with all necessary COVID-19 protocols in place and was hoping to begin overnight stays again soon.

The agriculture program reached out to the often-underserved Amish community to provide information on the risks of COVID-19 and how to manage them. It also organized several virtual workshops for the agricultural community on such topics as solar panels, climate change and farm business bookkeeping. More in-person workshops and events are planned for 2022.

abuse within the county. Through the expanded food and nutrition education program (EFNEP), educators have been doing virtual lessons, teaching low-income populations about healthy eating habits and physical fitness to reduce nutrition insecurity. The educators also teach people how to shop for and cook healthy meals on a limited budget through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed). nn Operations: With the stroke of a pen on July 2, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln ushered in the creation of an educational system specifically designed to provide relevant information directly to the people of the United States. The Land-Grant College Act created the “People’s Colleges” with a responsibility to focus on the teaching of practical agriculture, science, and engineering. In 1914, the Smith-Lever Act formalized the Cooperative Extension Service as a further linkage to the land grant system and established a partnership between the universities and federal, state and local governments. The Oswego County Legislature was an early supporter of Cooperative Extension and funded the establishment of the Oswego County Cooperative Extension organization in 1914. Since that time, Cooperative Extension has endeavored to improve the quality of life in the community by providing relevant, high-quality educational programs that address priority needs, including agriculture, youth development, nutrition, and parenting. Today, the organization continues to bring objective, evidence-based solutions to issues faced by youth, families, farmers, and communities through education with practical application. Cornell Cooperative Extension’s access to university-based research is critically important to the vitality of the local economy. Residents, families and businesses rely on Cooperative Extension for training and research-based programs to help improve their communities. By partnering with Oswego County government, Cornell University, other county agencies and the communities served, Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County continues to provide positive impacts that adapt as the needs in the community change. Additionally, Oswego County 4-H, a program of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Oswego County, owns and operates the Amboy 4-H Environmental Education Center near Williamstown. Consisting of 150 acres of mixed woods and wetlands, the center hosts fun and educational activities throughout the year. Three miles of trails are open for public use from dawn to dusk year-round. Several lodges and a large pavilion provide rustic meeting spaces and are available for group activities and other events.

nn What’s new: Aqua Spa owner Tammy Wilkinson explained the business is always a “work in progress” with new and exciting modalities always being considered and added. Cryoskin debuted just in the last few months as a new and effective natural fat loss device with technology that allows you to slim, tone and lift to help shape the body you want. Aqua Spa Float Center won a prestigious award from the American Institute of Architects. Jonathan Taylor of Taylored Architecture, PLLC, was recognized for innovative ideas, attention to detail, and dedication to the design profession. Taylored Architecture, PLLC received the following: Citation for Design for the Aqua Spa Float Center & Wellness Boutique and will be recognized at the Celebration of Architecture in Spring 2022. With big plans for 2022, the Aqua Spa plans to expand to another floor in the four-story 120 E. First St. building (formerly the Oswego City School District Education Center) and is eyeing new waterfront locations in the Central New York area.

With the expansion comes new modalities and wellness products including IV drip therapy, Vitamin booster shots like B12 and Vitamin D and more, hyperbaric chamber and red light therapy. Plus, they’d like to add nap pods to their offerings. Moreover, they are introducing an organic supplement line, developing a distribution partnership with Celergen — a Swiss cellular marine supplement. nn Operations: It all began with a gift. Aqua Spa owner Tammy Wilkinson bought her life partner Terry LeRoi (also an owner) a gift certificate for their first couple’s float experience at a local float center. 20 minutes into an incredible float, they were hooked from a wellness perspective and equally intrigued as entrepreneurs. For Tammy, who has struggled with Lupus for years, the relief she experienced from floating was nothing short of a wellness miracle. After the float experience, she felt that she was in less pain, had less inflammation and also noticed a dramatic decrease in stress and anxiety. Life-changing!

Terry’s experience was very similar. An athlete since high school and committed fitness aficionado, he noticed immediate relief from chronic back muscle soreness and tightness.

He was also astonished at the long-lasting calming effects that the magnesium Epsom salts provided for days after the float. As successful business owners already, Tammy and Terry’s entrepreneurial mindset and wheels also began to spin after their float, imagining how they could introduce a float center and a fresh, new wellness perspective to the Oswego community. On top of their other ventures and day-to-day schedules, they began to research other successful regional and national centers, the industry, float tanks, history and origins of floating, new industry/marketing partners, and other technical aspects of the business

potential. They were off and running… and floating! Their expansive, 6,500 square foot wellness center overlooks the beautiful Oswego River, tucked in the middle of downtown Oswego. It is one of the largest float centers and wellness destinations in Central New York.

SUNY Oswego Principal Executive: Deborah F. Stanley President Address: 7060 State Route 104 Oswego, NY 13126 Phone: 315-312-2500 Email: admiss@oswego.edu Website: www.oswego.edu In Oswego County since: 1861 Total employment: 1,751 Full-time: 1,329 Part-time: 422 SUNY also employs 2,416 students. nn What’s new: In a letter to the campus community, Deborah F. Stanley announced that she was retiring as president of SUNY Oswego effective Dec. 31, 2021. She retired after 44 years of service to the campus community.

The 10th president of the State University of New York at Oswego, Stanley served in that role for more than 25 years. Prior to her appointment as president in 1997 (after serving as interim president from 1995-1997), she taught and earned tenure in the School of Business and served in administration as the vice president for academic affairs and provost.

Stanley wrote, “I have been incredibly fortunate in so many ways in my life and certainly in the people, places and circumstances of my professional work for SUNY Oswego …

It is beyond a blessing to have been allowed to contribute leadership to, and collaborate broadly on, the inspirations and initiatives that have lifted our work and produced amazing outcomes for our college, our students and our communities.” Her tenure as president has been dynamic, driven by bold and inclusive leadership and a broad vision resulting in increased academic excellence, campus renewal, successful fundraising and the creation of a learner-centered environment.

She expressed heartfelt thanks to all those she worked alongside over the years. She closed her letter by writing, “Our interest in this wonderful place is unending and we will always be connected.”

The college launched an $80 million campus renovation project to turn the former Hewitt Union into a nationally competitive hub for its School of Communication, Media and the Arts. The transformed Hewitt Hall will serve as the new home for the college’s renowned

broadcasting and graphic design programs.

Developed with input from students, faculty and other stakeholders, the renewed Hewitt Hall has a target completion date of fall 2023 to host classes, labs, events and related activities that will further elevate the media arts programs in Oswego’s School of Communication, Media and the Arts. Exterior renovations are expected to be completed in 2022. The work will result in the creation of 439 jobs over the course of the project.

“When complete, Hewitt Hall will become a facility where the very best students and distinguished faculty in the nation will come to find a transformative, state-of-the-art handson learning and teaching space,” said SUNY Oswego President Deborah F. Stanley. “It adds to a sweeping $850 million renewal program that has made our campus increasingly competitive in our academic programs and further promotes the academic excellence that exists at Oswego.”

The ultimate goal is to provide the most technologically advanced facility in the nation for communication and graphic design programs. As with other recent renovations at SUNY Oswego, Hewitt will meet or exceed environmental expectations that come with 21th-century projects. In addition to instilling green and energy-efficient features, the project will include the creation of geothermal wells, which the college executed previously in the creation of the cutting-edge Richard S. Shineman Center for Science, Engineering and Innovation that opened in 2013. Geothermal wells harness the earth’s warmth to heat and cool buildings, and the Shineman project is among the largest of its kind in the region.

— SUNY Oswego also launched the Institute for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Transformative Practice. It will serve as the nexus of activity related to SUNY Oswego’s efforts to stand together to root out racism and enact positive change for our community, said President Deborah Stanley. The equity, diversity, inclusion and transformative practices of the institute are centrally connected to and motivated by SUNY Oswego’s strategic plan.

At the core of the Institute (oswego.edu/ institute) is its mission to foster critical self-awareness, understanding of the identities and experiences of all community members, investigation of structural inequality and advocacy for transformative change.

It will also be a place where the SUNY Oswego community can engage in addressing the grand challenges of race, racism, and social justice and propel the community forward.

— SUNY Oswego earned a STARS Silver rating in recognition of its sustainability achievements from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. STARS — the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System — measures

and encourages sustainability in all aspects of higher education.

By participating in STARS, SUNY Oswego aligns itself with high campus sustainability standards and commits itself to continuing to work towards a more sustainable campus. In previous years, the college has participated in STARS and enthusiastically looks to continue this participation.

“It has been an inspirational experience to work with a team of dedicated professionals from across our campus to gauge our progress towards a more sustainable future through the STARS reporting process,” said Kate Spector, the college’s sustainability manager.

Through SUNY Oswego’s commitment to being a more sustainable campus, STARS particularly recognized campus food pantry SHOP (Students Helping Oz Peers), which supplies non-perishable food items, personal care items and clothing to students in need.

SUNY Oswego also received high marks for diverse academic offerings that encompass sustainability-focused topics as well as the large percentage of faculty members who take part in sustainability-centric research opportunities and grants. SUNY Oswego’s STARS report is publicly available on the STARS website.

AASHE is an association of colleges and universities working to create a sustainable future.

— SUNY Oswego’s Imagine 2021 professional development series that connected current students with alumni and resources for success recently racked up four awards recognizing the innovative nature and collaborative spirit of the program.

Imagine 2021 earned two SUNY Council for University Advancement Best in Category Awards for advancement professionals—Excellence in Events: Alumni Engagement and Excellence in Events: Campus Community—and two SUNY Career Development Organization Awards—Excellence in Alumni Programs and Excellence in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Initiatives.

SUNY Oswego’s inaugural Imagine series sought to creatively connect students with alumni, assist students in finding internships, help seniors successfully transition to the job market or graduate school and develop a strong sense of student/alumni community and affiliation with the institution. Organizers also invited recent alumni to participate and even made these services available to prospective SUNY Oswego students.

Organizers Laura Kelly, director of alumni engagement, and Gary Morris, director of career services, agreed the success comes from “the Oswego way,” a commitment to inclusive and collaborative approaches that strive for excellence and innovation.

The health department continues to work with local health care providers including physicians, Oswego Health, pharmacies, and community agencies across the county to make the vaccine available and accessible to everyone who is eligible. Hundreds of volunteers have contributed to this effort.

Legislature Chairman James Weatherup officially rescinded the countywide COVID-19 state of emergency in June. County government facilities have opened back to the public and many meetings are being held in person again. COVID-19 response affects all departments of county government.

The next major initiative going forward is county government’s work with county departments, cities and towns, community agencies and citizens across the county to plan for responsible allocation of American Recovery Act funding approved by Congress in response to the COVID pandemic. In the summer of 2021, the Legislature initiated a $250,000 Restaurant Recovery Program to help local restaurants recover from financial losses suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the county plans for allocation of American Recovery Act funding, it is considering several more options that will help small businesses recover from the devastating losses of the pandemic. Legislature Chairman Weatherup continues to record video updates reporting on COVID-response and oth-

er county government services and initiatives.

Other projects coming up for 2022 include, but are not limited to: repurposing the eastern wing of the Bunner Street Complex in Oswego vacated by Oswego Health Behavioral Sciences; planning expansion of court facilities at the Public Safety Center as mandated by New York State; continuing our partnership with local, state and federal agencies to complete the designation of the Lake Ontario National Marine Sanctuary and attain national park status for Fort Ontario; and continuing our work to evaluate various critical infrastructure needs and options for addressing them. nn Operations: Oswego County government provides services to all residents of the county’s 22 towns, nine villages and two cities.

— Stakeholder meetings and surveys throughout the 2020-21 school year revealed some areas in the schools that needed attention if the district wanted to serve all students. Additions to curricular choices for 2021-22 include a STEM program for Pre-K to 6th students.

City of Fulton Principal Executive: Deana Michaels Mayor Address: 141 S. First St. (Fulton Municipal Building) Fulton, NY 13069 Phone: 315-592-7330 Fax: 315-598-7051 Website: www.cityoffulton.com In Oswego County since: 1902 Total employment: 152 Full-time: 139 Part-time: 13 nn What’s new: The city of Fulton spent 2021 focused on transformational goals and objectives. A few of our achievements include establishing an economic development program,

enhancing code compliance and enforcement, focusing on quality of life through robust Parks and Recreation programming and initiatives and improved infrastructure projects throughout various facets of the city. As Fulton moves to 2022, the goals are to take what it started in and learned from 2021 and expand on it. The $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) continues to be a primary focus. Participants have been contacted by their assigned state agency and a great deal of movement is expected in 2022. Fulton is currently working on several small business funding and housing support programs that will assist with growth and development as well as to help with rebounding from the impacts of COVID. The city will continue to grow its parks and recreation programming and have planned events for each season of the year.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, there will be a strong focus on safety and quality of life. The community should expect to see police bike and canine units, more neighborhood blitz cleanups, increased community engagement with police and fire, various infrastructure projects including sidewalks, paving and underground work and our codes department will be actively engaged.

As a city, the administration understands the heavy lift it takes to carry out objectives. It truly takes a team of dedicated employees, a focused and cooperative common council and a strong network of community partners. All these pieces are falling into place and for that reason officials say 2022 will be an exciting year for Fulton. nn 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 $16.8 million.

There are seven department administrators under the direction of the mayor. 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. In 2019, with annual help from State Sen. Patty Ritchie (R-Oswegatchie), the city now owns its dredge for the Lake Neatahwanta reclamation project. The city has its own trained operators and volunteers to help reach the goal of opening the beach in the future.

The former Nestle Co. complex is being redeveloped to accommodate retail and housing to replace its manufacturing status that existed for many years, and Aldi’s is open for business as an anchor at the site. The city was recently awarded $10 million to implement transformative projects under (former) Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s 2019 Downtown Revitalization Initiative program. A key component of the DRI program is to advance strategic private and public investments that will provide catalytic impacts to facilitate downtown revitalization.

Adams St. Syracuse, NY 13210 Phone: 464-5540 Fax: 464-4829 Email: upstate@upstate.edu Website: www.upstate.edu Total employment: 10,971 nn Operations/history: The history of SUNY Upstate can be traced back to 1871, when the newly chartered Syracuse University inherited the medical properties of Geneva Medical College with the understanding that it would maintain a medical program consistent with American Medical Association standards. In 1950, Syracuse University sold its medical school to the SUNY system where it was renamed SUNY College of Medicine at Syracuse.

In 1999, the university changed its name to SUNY Upstate Medical University. Today, the university is comprised of four colleges: the college of medicine, college of health professions, college of nursing and college of graduate studies. The university also runs the adjacent 366-bed University Hospital. The facility is Central New York’s only academic medical center, which educates more than 1,500 students in four colleges: medicine, graduate studies, health professions and nursing. On average, 140,000 patients are seen each year. In 2009, the hospital opened its Golisano Children’s Hospital. The $50 million hospital occupies the top floors of University Hospital’s East Tower. 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 approximately $32 million in medical research annually. In recent years, Upstate opened a $74 million cancer center, with the latest in cancer-fighting technology. Additional opening of new facilities included the $40.5 million academic building and the $5.4 million phase 2 build out of Upstate’s CNY Biotech Accelerator, home to the Upstate Medical Innovation and Novel Discovery Center. Dr. Mantosh Dewan, a psychiatrist who has worked at Upstate Medical University for 41 years, has been named president of the academic medical center. He was named interim president in 2018 when Dr. Danielle Laraque-Arena, Upstate’s former president, resigned.

nn Operations/history: Founded as a 15-bed facility by the Sisters of St. Francis in 1869, St. Joseph’s was Syracuse’s first hospital. Today, it treats more than 26,000 inpatients each year, employs over 800 licensed physicians and has 451 beds. St. Joseph’s opened its Christina M. Nappi Surgical Tower in 2014, featuring all-private, spacious rooms and the latest health care innovations to help advance care and enhance patient outcomes. In addition, the St. Joseph’s system of care is “linked” via one electronic health record following the successful launch of the Epic system in May 2014. St. Joseph’s became a member of Trinity Health in 2015. St. Joseph’s Health Hospital has been recognized as “Best Regional Hospital” in Syracuse and Central New York for 2019-2020 by U.S. News & World Report, and ranked No. 19 in New York State. This recognition comes shortly after St. Joseph’s was named the only hospital in Central New York to earn the highest rating for patient safety by Leapfrog® Hospital Safety Grades, and the only hospital in Onondaga County to be named one of America’s Best Hospitals for Orthopedics and Obstetrics by the Women’s Choice Award®. St. Joseph’s Health Hospital is one of America’s 50 Best Hospitals for Cardiac Surgery for the second year in a row (2019-2020), according to a national study by Healthgrades, the leading online resource for information about physicians and hospitals.

St. Joseph’s Health features Care Flight, a medical helipad that provides faster and easier access to St. Joseph’s top-rated cardiovascular emergency care and certified primary stroke center. Care Flight is located on top of its 98-foot-tall building on North State Street in Syracuse. In April of 2020, St. Joseph’s Health furloughed 500 workers to help stem financial losses caused by state-mandated cancellations of outpatient surgeries and visits related to the coronavirus pandemic.

nn Operations/history: The Diocese of Syracuse is a Catholic diocese headquartered in Syracuse. The diocese includes more than 230,000 Catholics residing in seven counties of Central and South Central New York state: Broome, Chenango, Cortland, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga and Oswego. The first Roman Catholic Bishop of Syracuse, Patrick Anthony Ludden, was appointed in 1886. There are two Catholic hospitals and six area Catholic Charities. The Diocese of Syracuse is comprised of 264 offices — including schools — each dedicated to a religious, social or logistic aspect of the religious organization. In 2014, William W. Crist was appointed as superintendent of Catholic schools for the diocese of Syracuse.

The diocese filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in 2020, citing the financial implications of more than 100 lawsuits alleging past child sexual abuse as well as the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic.

Today, the university is composed of 13 academic schools and colleges, in addition to its NCAA Division I sports teams, which are nationally renowned. The university also maintains engagement centers in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. SU’s 708-acre campus is home to nearly 21,000 students who hail from all 50 states and more than 150 countries around the world. The main campus has experienced unprecedented growth, as evidenced by openings of the Life Science Complex (2007), the largest capital project in university history; the Institute for Military Veterans and Their Families (2007), in partnership with JPMorgan Chase & Co.; the Newhouse Studio and Innovation Center (2014), part of Newhouse 2’s $18 million renovation; and Dineen Hall (2014), the College of Law’s new $90 million home. A new fixed roof, a vertically hung scoreboard, state-ofthe-art sound and lighting systems, improved accessibility and added Wi-Fi capabilities are just a handful of features visitors to Syracuse University’s Carrier Dome experienced beginning in fall 2020. The $118 million investment, authorized by the board of trustees, will enable the university to create a new stadium experience for students, faculty, staff, alumni and fans alike. The announcement represents the next step in advancing the $255 million West Campus transformation strategy the university first announced on May 16, 2016.

By 1908 the hospital, renamed Syracuse Hospital for Women and Children, had begun to admit men. 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. The two facilities merged in 1968 in an effort to consolidate medical services and became Crouse Irving Memorial Hospital. The name was shortened to Crouse Hospital in 1996. The health care facility continues to stay true to the basic fundamentals that have been the foundation of its success over the 137 years — quality care delivered by more than 4,000 talented doctors, nurses and support team members in an environment that fosters healing, health and wellness. Key elements of Crouse Health include its affiliation with Community Memorial Hospital in Hamilton and expanded collaboration with employed and community-based physicians across Upstate New York.

It has also been developing and strengthening Crouse Medical Practice, adding new providers for primary care, as well as cardiologists for heart care. The Crouse Neuroscience Institute, home to highly regarded neurosurgeons and neurology specialists, serves patients from Central New York and beyond. Crouse is the first hospital in the area to be designated a comprehensive stroke center by both the New York State Department of Health and DNV Healthcare, one of just 15 in New York to attain dual certification.
