Operation Oswego County: 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 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 $4.7 billion in investments and nearly 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. Plans are being formulated to establish a 30,000-sq.-ft. facility at the Nestle site in Fulton. n 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 their early stage start-up with the intention of eventually relocating into private commercial space. Plans are being formulated on establishing potential flexible spec buildings and finding a location for a new small business incubator. n 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. n SBA Certified Development Company. OOC is authorized to finance projects using the SBA 504 loan program which can fund up to 40% of

BUSINESS GUIDE 2021 • Oswego County, Northern & Central New York

fixed asset financing for eligible businesses at below market rates. n USDA IRP Program. The IDA in cooperation with USDA has established and recently doubled the capacity of a short-term financing program for working capital and/or machinery and equipment. n 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. n 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. n Micro-Enterprise Training Program. OOC works cooperatively with the City of Fulton Community Development Agency, City of Oswego Community Development Office and SUNY Oswego’s Business Resource Center to provide guidance and support to people interested in starting or expanding a small business. n 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 in Oswego County. n Workforce Development. OOC and the COIDA are supporting the establishment of an Advanced Manufacturing Institute by Cayuga Community College at its Fulton Campus. OOC is active with the Workforce Development Board of Oswego County and a sponsor of the ACT Work Ready Communities Initiative. n 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. For more information on these programs and other economic development services in Oswego County, call OOC at 343-1545 or visit www. oswegocounty.org.

Laurie Davis Position: Executive director of Oswego Industries, Inc.; executive director of The Arc of Oswego County Since what year with company: 1995 Since what year in current position: 2016 Education: Bachelor of Science degree in human resources, SUNY Brockport Career highlights: Served as director of finance for six years prior to assuming the executive director’s role at Oswego Industries/The Arc of Oswego County Current affiliations: Financial Management Association; NYSARC Executive Directors’ Association How do you describe your managerial philosophy or approach? “There is a quote by Sir Ken Robinson that I have appreciated for a long time which sums up my leadership style: ‘The role of a creative leader is not to have all the answers. It is to create a culture where everyone can have ideas and feel that they are valued.’ I surround myself with capable people, enable their greatness, and then get out of their way.” What type of skill set do you possess which makes you an effective leader? “I like to combine an attention to detail with an appreciation of the bigger picture. I need to be able to steer the agency into the future, but that also means knowing how to delegate problems to the people on my team rather than trying to solve every issue that pops up. I’ve always believed in always looking ahead rather than looking backwards, and that’s true now more than ever.” How can the business climate in Oswego County be improved? “We are grateful as an agency to the nonprofit foundations that focus on Oswego County and its needs, including the Shineman Foundation and the Oswego County Community Foundation.

Everyone can help improve our business climate by staying safe, washing their hands frequently, and wearing their masks in public.” What do you do for fun? “I enjoy traveling, particularly to Florida in the wintertime, and playing a few rounds of golf. Supporting Syracuse University athletics is another big hobby of mine as a football season ticket holder.”

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 type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader? “Diversity has been a part of my life. I was born in Kenya, which is a diverse country. I came to the United States for college and learned early on to embrace new experiences. I have also been fortunate to have travelled extensively in the United States and internationally and have interacted with people from different backgrounds and cultures. Through these experiences, I have gained an appreciation of and benefitted from backgrounds and cultures that are different from mine. I have also learned the importance of keeping an open mind and adapting to changing circumstances. “My approach to work at Excellus is no different. Our customer expectations are diverse as well. When working with them, I strive to understand their needs, keep an open mind and deliver solutions that meet those needs. In Central New York, Excellus is fortunate to have a strong market presence, where the subscriber may also be a community leader, a provider, or a board member. So understanding their perspective and appreciating their expectations is key to a successful relationship.” 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. “Continuing to invest in a healthier, more engaged community — especially in this current environment — will bolster and propel relationships, 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, playing board games like chess, and golfing. That has allowed me to have quality time with my family while staying healthy. I also enjoy spending time in our Central New York-Upstate region. It’s beautiful and offers outlets for a variety of activities.”

Career highlights: “The mission of Oswego Health is to provide accessible, quality care and improve the health of residents in our community. As the region’s first choice for quality health care, we are focused on growing our services and enhancing our programs based on the needs of the County. This includes two major construction projects we’re working on including significant enhancements to our third and fourth floor of the hospital where we will be privatizing all patient rooms to enhance their experience. In addition, this Fall we hope to finalize construction on our brand new 42,000 square foot Behavioral Health Services Facility which will truly transform mental health care here in Central New York.

Our employees are our greatest assets and I make it a priority to get to know them as best I can. “I have worked from entry-level positions in the health care field — nurse aide, registered nurse, manager, etc.) all the way to chief executive officer, so working in those positions has had a positive impact on my management decisions because I always consider how they will impact the employees and the patients we serve.” What type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader?? “I have excellent vision for the organization coupled with a plan and an excellent history of execution to achieve identified goals.

And lastly, if we work together, we can improve the local community right here in Oswego County. “Every great community consists of key pillars — a strong educational system such as SUNY Oswego, industrial powerhouses such as Exelon Generation and Novelis, and access to affordable health care. These pillars though unique in their own respect, must all work together in order to benefit the overall community as a whole and we believe right here in Oswego County we have those key pillars.

We need to increase the availability of skilled and unskilled labor in our county. The fact that so many companies in our county have a labor deficit should tell us that we have a major opportunity that needs to be addressed and addressed quickly. Without an effective labor pool, companies will be required to move to where a labor pool does exist.” What do you do for fun? “For fun I like to canoe and run. I am competitive, mostly against myself, so I find myself entering canoeing races and 5K runs to motivate myself to be healthy and active. My daughter, Cecilia, and I love the theater and traveling and do that as often as we can.”

How do you describe your managerial philosophy or approach? “A county administrator is a unique position: You must manage multiple department heads and their operational needs, while being managed yourself by an elected board of legislators, each with their own, or collective, visions for government. I believe in hiring the right people for the job and trusting them to do it, guiding them when needed, being available to them, listening to their expertise and then providing them with clear direction and decisions, staying informed on their progress for accountability, and stepping in when something critical needs my personal direction.” What type of skill set do you possess which makes you an effective leader? “An even temperament, listening to and respecting all points of view, patience, communicating needs and options, and creating long-term and short-term plans for budgets and projects. It’s important not to over-react to short-duration situations by making significant changes that are detrimental or wasteful in the long run.” How can the business climate in Oswego County be improved? “Entrepreneurship, creativity and risk-taking in the private sector have far more impact on the economy than local government. Government can help by keeping taxes low, completing review and permitting processes as quickly as possible, take an ‘assist and educate first’ approach to regulatory enforcement, leveraging funding, and creating and supporting programs that improve the housing market (such as the Oswego County Land Bank) and that attract new residents and employers.” What do you do for fun? “Ride my motorcycle, dive shipwrecks, and day-trip getaways with my wife”

As our worlds have shifted virtually, we find ourselves using more digital tools to stay connected with each other and customers.

I’m continually amazed by their ability to adapt as we remain vigilant to help serve the evolving needs of our customer.” What type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader?? “Problem-solving is a critical skill that I have leaned on over the past few months. We’re seeing customers encounter challenges no one could have anticipated, so it takes patience and a different way of viewing a situation to help achieve creative solutions that work.” How can the business climate in Oswego be improved? “I think one of the most exciting opportunities for the business community is utilizing the lake as an asset and catalyst for year-round economic activity.” What do you do for fun? “Golf and spending valuable time with my family, including my five grandchildren”

Safety and security of students and staff is our No. 1 priority and we have worked diligently in this area. “Maximizing our staff and resources has been at the forefront as we continue to invest in students and programming instead of spending millions of dollars renovating buildings that are no longer needed with the declining enrollment.

providing our students with a reopening plan that is not only safe, but sustainable instead of a plan that would result in numerous shutdowns at the secondary level.” Current affiliations: New York State Association of School Personnel Administrators; Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development; New York State Association for Computers and Technologies in Education How do you describe your managerial philosophy or approach? “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 safe, empowered and invested on a daily basis.” What type of skill set-do you possess which make you an effective leader? “I have been told that my level of communication has been greatly appreciated because there are so many things that go on in a school district on a daily and weekly basis, it is important to provide parents, students, staff and the community with frequent and consistent updates. My ability to take emails, phone calls, and in-person meetings as part of my open door policy allows parents and students to experience what it should be with custom service. “Getting back to parents and students in a timely manner is essential, and I will never stop doing that. The decisions that I make with my team are in alignment with the other decisions that are made, which is important because all stakeholders should experience consistency instead of confusion

and a lack of transparency.” How can the business climate in Oswego County be improved? “We are very fortunate to have wonderful business leaders in our county that have created job shadowing and internships for our students to provide them with real world experiences. This is essential given the competitive nature of the workforce currently and this provides our students with an advantage upon graduation. I hope that COVID-19 can be put in the rearview mirror sooner than later so that our students will again be allowed to participate in these meaningful opportunities.” What do you do for fun? “Although every superintendent has had their family weekend and evening time extremely diminished because of all of the responsibilities associated with leading a district during COVID-19, I still try to find time to go hiking in the woods near my house with my wife and two young boys. My son, who is in third grade, is an avid fisherman, and I greatly enjoy seeing the pride on his face when he catches a fish.”

together disparate operations and cultures from the five acquired practices into one unified and efficient primary care network throughout Oswego County. Subsequent to the integrated practices, I am proud of the leadership I provided during our re-branding campaign that led to our new name, ConnextCare, which truly signifies the magnitude of reach we have across Oswego County, without limiting our potential for future growth. Receiving the 40-under-40 Award from the CNY Business Journal in 2018, joining the list of other young distinguished leaders, is also a true highlight and an honor. I also became a fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives in June of 2019.” Current affiliations: Director, Central New York Care Collaborative; director and secretary, Operation Oswego County; director and secretary, Mexico Tiger Sharks; fellow, American College of Healthcare Executives; member, Oswego County Health Department Professional Advisory Committee; member, New York State Association for Rural Health How do you describe your managerial philosophy or approach? “My approach aims to build strong relationships with staff across all disciplines, demonstrating a high level of respect, trust and integrity, which yields a motivated, hardworking, and committed workforce full of endless collaboration and growth.” What type of skill sets do you possess which make you an effective leader? “I have strong communication skills, with a high level of decisiveness. I’m flexible to changes daily and believe that delegation is an art, not a weakness. I demonstrate a continuous positive attitude and enjoy mentoring talent as they are capable of great things if you share your vision and constructively guide them along the way.” What do you do for fun? “I enjoy running with my dog, biking with my kids, being outdoors, cheering on my acquired sports teams and baking cookies.

When the dining centers for senior citizens closed, nutrition services shifted several people to home delivery and offered drive-thru meal pickup options. The summer food service program converted entirely to meal pickup. Health services used telehealth to conduct appointments with patients, and behavioral health and case management staff also used teleconferencing to maintain one-on-one services. Several service areas ramped up the use of social media to keep clients connected and keep the community informed. Head Start staff offered virtual story time for students and created activity bags to deliver to their homes. Crisis and development services provided services via telephone and virtual meeting platforms and created a safe system for assisting walk-in clients with critical needs. As the region reopened, OCO Transportation Services restored all public bus routes and even added a route for the Pulaski-Sandy Creek area, thanks to a $5,000 grant from the Greater Pulaski Community Endowment Fund. Crisis and development services received a $5,000 grant from the Women’s Fund of CNY to create care packages containing food, diapers, formula, hygiene products and clothing for women and girls in crisis. Despite the challenges of COVID-19, OCO continued its focus on helping to alleviate the shortage of safe, affordable housing for individuals and families as well as housing options for adults with developmental disabilities. In September 2020, residential services opened its newest residence for adults with developmental disabilities in Hannibal. OCO is working with

a developer to construct affordable housing in the Pulaski area in 2021.

The grant also supports development of a coordinated, strategic approach to using social media as a primary means of communication, marketing, and recruitment. The agency also will be implementing improvements to its electronic systems and technology needed for telework, and the accompanying staff training, to assure employees can work efficiently and successfully regardless of their location. nnOperations: 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.

In Onondaga County, 100 shields were distributed to the Syracuse Police Department. When COVID-19 first hit in March of 2020, ARISE shifted its mental health services to telehealth services in one week.

The agency redeployed its skilled clinicians to meet increased community needs. Today, ARISE professionals are connecting with kids through Zoom using scavenger hunts, interactive games on the computer’s whiteboard feature and storytelling with family pets making guest appearances. nnOperations: Founded in 1979 in Syracuse as one of New York state’s eight original independent living centers, ARISE acts as a catalyst for community change.

In his new role, Hughes supports the business services’ team members with credit underwriting, portfolio management, loan monitoring and regulatory compliance items. Prior to his new role, Hughes was credit analyst for Pathfinder Bank. He joined Pathfinder Bank in 2016 as an intern for the lending department. nnOperations: Pathfinder Bank is a New York state chartered commercial bank headquartered in Oswego, whose deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of Pathfinder Bancorp, Inc, (NASDAQ SmallCap Market; symbol: PBHC, listing: PathBcp). The bank has nine fullservice offices located in its market areas consisting of Oswego and Onondaga counties. Pathfinder Bank experienced a significant milestone during 2019 as its total assets crested over $1 billion for the first time in its 160-plus year history. Total assets at Dec. 31, 2019 were $1.1 billion, an increase of $160.7 million from $933.1 million as of the prior year- end. Loan portfolio growth continues to drive the company’s overall asset growth. The company’s expanding market presence in Syracuse and its surrounding Onondaga County markets fuels overall loan growth. Total loans increased by $161.2 million, or 26% for the year ended Dec. 31, 2019. The bank’s efficient funding of this significant loan growth has become increasingly important

in the current environment. Total deposits increased $154.8 million, or 21.3% during 2019. Much of this growth can be attributed to the bank’s expanding market presence. In the second half of 2019, Pathfinder Bank implemented core strategies designed to enhance its deposit mix by focusing deposit gathering efforts on non-maturity deposits from both retail and business customers. This will remain a significant organizational focus going forward as the bank works to reduce its current reliance on time deposits and other borrowings to fund loan growth. In the second quarter of 2019, Pathfinder Bank successfully completed a private placement of new equity capital with net proceeds of $19.6 million. The equity raise involved the sale of common stock, convertible preferred stock and a warrant to purchase an additional 125,000 shares of common stock in the future. This transaction immediately strengthened the bank’s balance sheet, improved its regulatory capital ratios, and enabled the organization to respond to attractive growth opportunities going forward. Net income was $4.3 million in 2019, compared to $4 million for the previous year. Profitability in the first half of 2019 was negatively impacted in part by added operating costs associated with the launch of the bank’s newest branch in Clay, which opened in the fourth quarter of 2018. In addition, the bank experienced net interest margin compression that resulted from short-term interest rate increases orchestrated by the Federal Reserve during the second half of 2018, which significantly increased deposit costs. The bank’s earnings’ performance dramatically improved in the second half of 2019, as the bank productively deployed the new equity capital that was raised in May of 2019. In addition, the second half of 2019 saw the Federal Reserve initiating a series of short-term interest rate reductions that positively impacted Pathfinder Bank’s cost of funds and in turn its net interest margin. The combination of

higher service fee income combined with a significant reduction in the rate of growth of operating expenses also contributed to the bank’s stronger net income results during the last six months of 2019.

Through its new West Coast operation, Felix Schoeller North America has been able to enter into new markets, such as the reprographic printing industry.

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.

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: admiss@oswego.eduwww.oswego. edu In Oswego County since: 1861 Total employment: 1,745 Full-time: 1,320 Part-time: 425 n What’s new: SUNY Oswego continues to be ranked in the top-10 among public colleges in U.S. News and World Report’s 2021 Top Regional Universities in the North, as well as in the top-10 for the region’s best value schools. In 2020, SUNY Oswego moved up two slots to No. 50 in the Northeast. Also noteworthy was Oswego’s No. 9 ranking among best value schools for its region. Oswego also earned placement on the national list for top undergraduate engineering programs, non-doctorate, recognition likely linked to the global accreditation of Oswego’s electrical and computer engineering and software engineering programs in 2020 by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. — The Princeton Review once again has named SUNY Oswego to its 2021 list of the 224 Best Regional Colleges-Northeast, a distinction the college has earned every year since the educational services firm started regional listings in 2003. — U.S. News also ranked Oswego’s MBA online program the highest among public institutions in New York state and 54th nationally. The ranking service also found the Oswego MBA’s quality and flexible delivery merited a place among the nation’s best part-time offerings. Poets & Quants — a publication and

resource which focuses on MBA programs — ranked the college’s online MBA program 18th nationally. — SUNY Oswego earned a national ranking among best colleges in its class in Washington Monthly’s annual college guide that measures how institutions benefit the public good through student upward mobility, research and civic engagement. — The central role of community service in SUNY Oswego’s activities is reflected in the college again earning the prestigious Carnegie Community Engagement Classification in 2020, which honors institutional commitment to community engagement. — When the COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020, SUNY Oswego faculty members quickly volunteered to share their skills and talent by designing and manufacturing much needed personal protective equipment for local health care workers and first responders. Faculty members Daniel Tryon of technology education and David Dunn of biological sciences led the effort to design and produce nearly 2,200 protective face shields, intubation shields and ventilation adaptors for local health care providers. Tryon used 3D printers in SUNY Oswego’s Park Hall technology lab to print the frames, and cut lenses out of polycarbonate. Dunn then took the parts to finish and sterilize them in ovens in a Shineman Center lab. Local industry partners Exelon and Novelis also helped with production. — In 2020, SUNY Oswego secured a five-year grant from the New York State Department of Education to support the Collegiate Science and Technology Entry Program, which offers a range of strong support for underrepresented and/or economically disadvantaged students entering STEM or professional licensure fields. — The need for employees who can understand data-driven factors led to SUNY Oswego’s new minor in business analytics. — A new approved academic minor in sales will help make SUNY Oswego graduates more marketable and better equipped for relation-

ship management and other key professional skills. Among SUNY Oswego students graduating in the past three years, 43% of marketing majors, 25% of business administration majors and 27% of finance majors earned sales jobs. Among non-business students, 8.7% said they have sales jobs. With caution, creativity, care and community partnership, SUNY Oswego developed a plan titled “Oswego Forward — A Plan for Fall 2020 Restart at SUNY Oswego” that was approved by the State University of New York and met the New York State’s Department of Health “Reopening New York Higher Education guidelines.” Oswego’s plan was developed over the months of April through August and remained a living document in the fall of 2020 that has been updated periodically in response to new information, guidance and/or direction received from the state and governor’s office. — SUNY Oswego announced in September 2020 that Ebony Dixon has joined the college as its first executive director of enrollment management. As the college’s chief enrollment officer, Dixon serves as a member of the President’s Council; oversees the admissions operations of the college; and provides leadership to strategically plan, develop, coordinate, and implement SUNY Oswego’s comprehensive enrollment management and retention efforts. — The Student Affairs and Enrollment Management’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee at SUNY Oswego partnered with the college’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion to provide “Oz Against Injustice: A Three-Part Series on Anti-Racism.” The series was offered during the sumer of 2020 on Zoom to all members of the SUNY Oswego campus community. — In response to the pandemic, SUNY Oswego established the Student Emergency Fund to assist students with the immediate housing, food, transportation and technology needs they encountered due to the dramatic changes created by the pandemic. By June 30, 2020, the college raised more than

$245,000 in private donations to support the Student Emergency Fund, including the gift of $50,000 from an anonymous alumna. — SUNY Oswego’s Counseling Services Center earned prestigious recognition through accreditation from the International Accreditation of Counseling Services.

Recognized by “U.S. News” as being among the top public institutions of higher learning in the North, SUNY Oswego is committed to increasing academic and student success, sustaining the institution and positioning graduates to live ethical and meaningful lives and build a better world for future generations. Oswego is succeeding in its efforts to position its graduates. Ninety-four percent of Oswego graduates are employed and/ or continuing their education; 89% of those are working full-time in their field of choice; and 74% work in New York state. Oswego students receive local, national and international awards, are named SUNY Chancellor’s Award winners and Fulbright Scholars; compete in regional business competitions; and serve those in need. Further, SUNY Oswego’s Syracuse campus provides public price point capping programs for place-bound students in an urban setting. Oswego’s curriculum includes high-demand, high-quality, innovative degree programs developed with industry and business partners.

City of Oswego Principal Executive: William J. “Billy” Barlow Mayor Address: 13 West Oneida St. (City Hall) Oswego, NY 13126 Phone: 315-342-8136 Email: mayor@oswegony.org Website: mayor@oswegony.orgwww.oswegony.org In Oswego County since: 1848 Total employment: 320 Full-time: 300 Part-time: 20 n What’s new: The city of Oswego is undergoing a significant transformation as its landscape is being renewed by several major commercial projects. Buoyed by both public and private funding, the projects look to make a considerable impact on the city from a quality of life and economic development standpoint. Funds garnered through the state’s $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative several years ago proved to be the catalyst for the surge of projects. Activity impacts several sectors of the local economy. The Litatro building, Riverwalk/22 Crossroads, Harborview Square and East Lake Commons will all feature additions to the retail and housing sectors. The Lake Ontario Water Park will enhance the city’s tourism appeal, while the new Oswego Health Lakeview Center for Mental Health and Wellness looks to fill a considerable void on the local health care scene. Meanwhile, renovations at Oswego City Hall will preserve a vital resource in the government sector. While the state was in the midst of re-opening in mid 2020 after several months of coronavirus-related closures, two Oswego marinas remain shut down for an extended period of time. The closures are part of a $16 million waterfront improvement effort that combines a trio of projects at Breitbeck Park, Wright’s Landing and the International Pier. The addition of stone and additional landscaping along the bottom of Brietbeck Park and the Harbor Trail will prevent future erosion from high water. Wright’s Landing Marina will have its ground surface elevated two feet, get a new pavilion and welcome center, renovated restrooms, improved wheelchair access, and more firepit and seat-

ing areas. The International Pier, currently gravel, will undergo a $6.5 million transformation to a pedestrian-oriented boardwalk pier. Construction is expected to last through July 2021. The city’s Lake Ontario shoreline was badly damaged by flooding, first in the spring of 2017 and again in 2019. The costs will largely be covered by several sources of funding, including $12.6 million from the state’s Resiliency and Economic Development Initiative program to protect the shoreline, $1.1 million from a state CFA grant awarded in 2018 and $1.5 million from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to repair flooding damage. n Operations: The city of Oswego is situated on the southeastern shore of Lake Ontario, noted for its astonishing sunsets. It is a progressive, historic community mixing the historic past with the modernism of the 21st century. The city is transforming into a diverse community that is building on its strengths, embracing its current, historic and natural assets, and moving toward becoming a regionally competitive area while maintaining its small town charm. Oswego is known as the Port City of Central New York. Its waterfront is complemented by the maritime theme found throughout the city. 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 was successful in acquiring $10 million in Downtown Revitalization Initiative funding from New York state. The new Water Street Square pocket park was officially unveiled to residents of Oswego in 2019. The Water Street Square pocket — a $900,000 project — is a small park constructed between Water and West First streets downtown. It is designed to be a public gathering space for events and will feature outdoor programming opportunities. The project includes a stage, benches, tables, chairs, landscaping and an ADA-accessible switchback ramp to the West Linear Riverwalk, as well as improvements to Water Street.

economic development regions is selected as a $10 million winner, marking another overall state goal to target $100 million in funding and investments to help communities boost their economies by transforming downtowns into vibrant neighborhoods where the next generation of New Yorkers will want to live, work and raise a family. The city plans to “Blaze New Trails” by building on this momentum in its historic downtown waterfront and state Route 481 corridor, enhancing natural and cultural attractions, and continuing to grow opportunity in local health, service, and manufacturing industries. With a boost from DRI, the city will strengthen the infrastructure necessary to support downtown businesses and create recreational and cultural opportunities attractive to visitors and residents alike, a spokesperson noted. 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 $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 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.

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.

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.
