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 $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),

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. L. Michael Treadwell, CEcD, is the executive director of Operation Oswego County

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.

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.

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.

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, 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

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.
