In the June 25 press release, Paul Leone, executive director of the New York State Brewers Association, reported that NYS has the second-highest number of breweries in the country with a total of 538 spread throughout every region of the state.

“. . . With access to market for local craft beer becoming increasingly more difficult, having a New York State-focused distributorship and online retail outlet that has fresh local beer delivered to anyone in the country is critical right now to the growth of the industry,” Leone said.

As the closure of Cazenovia College approaches, the newly formed organization Reinvent Cazenovia Campus, Inc. is embracing the opportunity to envision a new future for the campus.

Founded by Cazenovians, the organization aims to raise funds and be a valuable partner in determining the highest and best uses for the campus with the goal of replacing and ultimately expanding upon the 199-year-old college’s economic impact.

“We believe the campus has the potential to continue to be a great asset to the community and we are committed to raising funds that will ensure the campus is repurposed in a way that maximizes the social and economic well-being of the area,” said Matt Cashatt, one of the founding members of the group. “Reinvent Cazenovia Campus is committed to working with all stakeholders to ensure the campus benefits the greatest number of people in the community while still preserving the historic character of the campus.”

The group envisions transforming the campus into a cutting-edge workforce training center, concentrating on innovative and rapidly growing fields like semiconductor manufacturing, applied artificial intelligence, ag-tech, and biotechnology.

By establishing a forward-thinking and dynamic institution, the group’s founders hope to position Cazenovia as a leader in growth and innovation, evolving into a center for high-tech thought leadership and entrepreneurship that attracts new businesses and residents and establishes itself as a sought-after destination for learning and exploration.

Reinvent Cazenovia Campus is currently seeking various forms of community support, including donations, volunteers, and partnerships with local businesses and organizations.

“We understand the importance of community engagement in this endeavor, and we are eager to collaborate with all stakeholders to ensure the success of our vision,” said Lisa Burnett, a founding member of Reinvent Cazenovia Campus.

The organization is collaborating with stakeholder groups including the Cazenovia Area Community Development Association to contribute to the post-college planning process that is already underway, and it has received positive responses from the community with offers to get behind the effort.

“We’d especially like to thank the Hancock Estabrook Law Firm, whose invaluable guidance and support has been instrumental in our formation,” said Mark Costa, another founding member of the group.
