  Peter Cann, Executive Director of MCIDA, expressed his thoughts by saying, "The Madison County Industrial Development Agency is happy to support CACDA with a monetary contribution derived from our work with Cazenovia College.Cazenovia is an important part of Madison County's past, present and future.Deliberately planning the future is the only way to keep pace with our globally connected world; staying the same is increasingly a recipe for decline.CACDA is all about helping the people of Cazenovia plan the future of their community.The MCIDA is ready to help in any way we can."
  
  Betsy Powers, President of the CACDA Board of Directors said, "Peter Cann is absolutely correct and we appreciate the support of the MCIDA.

  Creating Partnerships for Downtown Redevelopment and Historic Preservation : The Newburgh Story
  
  Only a decade ago, the City of Newburgh was considered by HUD to be the fourth most distressed small city in the country.A partnership effort between city government, city economic and community development officials, private developers and local community groups is changing that.Within the past three years there has been $ 50 million in new investment in the city through these creative partnerships.How did it happen? How did they leverage resources to revitalize New York State's largest historic district? What can Cortland learn from this case example.

  Industrial parks become development magnets - [Cached Version]

  The ready availability of land, utilities and hassle-free site approval, coupled with the tax and other benefits of recent Empire Zone status, made parks in Canastota, Oneida and Hamilton magnets for new or expanding businesses in 2003, according to Peter L. Cann, executive director of the county's Industrial Development Agency.

  The appeal of the parks is likely to continue this year and into the future, Cann said.
  
  "The name of the game is hassle-free location: Everything's there already.They've got cable, phone, power, gas, sewer, all in the ground and right to each lot.All they need is site plan approval and they're ready to go," Cann said.
  ...
  And even though there doesn't seem to be much more than snow building up at the 170-acre Greater Sullivan Industrial Park on Route 31, Cann says he's excited about the possibilities there.
  
  What makes it unique is that developer Tom Oot plans to build townhouses and apartments on 40 acres across the street, complete with boat slips and docks connecting homes to Oneida Lake via Fremac marina.
  
  "I think it's going to be really great," Cann said."People will be able to work and play right where they live."
  
  Cann estimates that one-third of Madison County's work force leaves the county to go to work.Creating jobs in the county to keep those people here is key to its long-term economic health, he said.
  
  "To me, our focus has to be to bring the jobs back to where they used to be," Cann said.

  "We're in the midst of a renaissance here," says Peter Cann, director of the Madison County Industrial Development Agency.
  
  Local communities here are grabbing the reins, with diverse efforts combining to drive the local industrial-park base from two to seven facilities.At the same time, the existing parks are rolling at full throttle.A $1.5 million expansion at Canastota Industrial Park for instance will open 25 new lots with full infrastructure, including rail access to the main CSX line.
  
  The new Town of Sullivan Park Industrial Park on State Rte. 31 will serve a new sustainable community being developed on the South Shore of Oneida Lake in Lakeport.At the same time, the Village of Hamilton (home of Colgate University) and the local Partnership for Community Development have coordinated with the FAA to buy the local airport and establish a Business Air Park.
  ...
  "We're at a true crossroads here, with excellent highway access, a superior quality of life and a dedicated labor force with a solid work ethic - in other words, what you'd expect from a community with a deep agricultural history," says Cann.

  "Our philosophy is to empower our little communities and help them do their own thing," says Peter Cann, executive director of the Madison County Industrial Development Agency."We help them create a place in the community for jobs, like a business or industrial park.This way, the communities have ownership of it, and they're enthusiastic about it."
  
  In rural New York, about 20 miles from both Syracuse and Utica, Madison County's economy has trxaditionally been dominated by agriculture.Yet today there's "quite a variety, and we're well diversified in our manufacturing operations," Cann explains.Top-notch education resources help make that happen.Colgate University, Cazenovia College, State University of New York in Morrisville and Utica College of Commerce all offer post-secondary training, and several other colleges and universities are within easy commuting distance.
  
  Highway access includes the New York State Thruway, a limited-access, rapid-travel corridor, and nearby Interstate 81.Conrail in north Madison County provides rail freight service to the east and west, while the southern part of the county is served by the New York Susquehanna and Western Railroad.Amtrak passenger service is available from stations in Rome, Utica and East Syracuse, with connections to many points in New York, along the East Coast, in Canada and to Chicago.
  ...
  "We're right in the middle of things," says Cann, "and yet away from everything.We enjoy a nice rural flavor for living and for creating a number of business sites where companies are welcome."

  "This industrial park is one of the things I'm excited the most about this year," says Peter Cann, executive director of the Madison County Industrial Development Agency.
  
  Cann says his agency's mission is to "empower" the county's 26 cities, towns and villages and help them establish their own goals and identities.Creating new jobs for all those communities is his goal.
  
  With 160 acres available, Sullivan Industrial Park offers an interesting twist - land for light manufacturing with nearby residential acreage.At State Route 31 and alongside Oneida Lake, the park will feature 48 double townhouses with canals."You'll be able to park your boat in the back and your car in the front," Cann says.He touts the county's scenic, small-town feel: "Madison County is a great place to live, with a lot of small communities either in the hills or on lakes or in the flatlands.We really have it all."
  
  Madison County's location "dead center" in the state also allows easy access, Cann notes.Highways include the New York State Thruway, a limited-access, rapid-travel corridor, and nearby Interstate 81.The county's incentives are "on par" with other New York communities, Cann adds, but location and quality workforce tip the scales in Madison County's favor.

  Madison County Industrial Development Agency Executive Director Peter Cann said his agency pays for the Oneida IDA's annual audit because the city agency doesn't have an income.
  
  The latest dispute is also over money.The cost of county transfer station punch cards was increased from $11.25 to $12.25, although Oneida's share on each card sold at City Hall will remain at 25 cents.
  
  Each of the card's five punches allows transfer station users to dump a 33-gallon garbage bag.
  
  Rafte said the county collected all of the money on punch cards sold at City Hall until several years ago, when then-Clerk Grace Perretta complained to city supervisors.
