OSWEGO — The state wants visitors returning to communities along the Lake Ontario shoreline where recent flooding has hampered tourism.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Aug. 1 launched a new campaign seeking to promote tourism in that part of upstate New York.

The state also announced grant awards for Syracuse University, the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce, and the village of Sodus Point in Wayne County for community-based projects. Those projects seek to “enhance community, ecological and economic resiliency throughout the Great Lakes watershed,” Cuomo’s office said in a news release.

The new tourism initiative includes free fishing on Lake Ontario, St. Lawrence River, and Lower Niagara River through Labor Day. It also includes 50 percent off state campgrounds and vehicle-entrance fees along the lake and river.

The state will provide over $5 million to modernize the Salmon River Fish Hatchery in Oswego County, Cuomo also announced.

A new television ad airing in multiple neighboring states will promote this new campaign and activities in the region.

The campaign seeks to “remind visitors considering travel to New York State that Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River areas are open for business and filled with great opportunities available for weekend trips or extended vacations,” per the release.

Great Lakes grant awards

As part of Cuomo’s REDI initiative, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and New York Sea Grant also announced funding awards totaling nearly $75,000 for community-based projects in the region. REDI is short for resiliency and economic-development initiative.

The REDI Commission, which Cuomo announced May 29, is a multi-agency task force charged with developing a plan to harden infrastructure and increase resiliency along the shores of Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, while strengthening the region’s local economies.

The grant recipients include the Environmental Finance Center at Syracuse University, which will use its nearly $25,000 grant for a project in the town of Sandy Creek. This project includes providing local government with assistance in developing a planning strategy for the North and South Sandy Ponds’ watersheds.

The St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce will also use a nearly $25,000 grant award for tourism destination master planning. This project is creating an inter-municipal plan to “enhance and secure” funding for eco-tourism and recreational opportunities. Those include increasing access to local waterways and land resources for recreational activities year-round.

The Village of Sodus Point will use its grant award of nearly $25,000 for developing the South Ontario Street canoe and kayak launch as an “eco-tourism destination” for Great Sodus Bay. This project “enhances” waterfront access with a handicapped-accessible non-motorized boat launch and gateway to a Sodus Bay paddling trail. The site work includes green-infrastructure elements and preserves a naturally existing bank area along the bay. Community collaborators include the Neighborhood Association of Sodus Point and Save Our Sodus.

The funding awards are part of the Great Lakes Basin Small Grants Program, which seeks to “enhance community, ecological and economic resiliency throughout the Great Lakes watershed,” per the release.

Funding comes from the state Environmental Protection Fund’s Ocean and Great Lakes Ecosystem Conservation Program and “supports the application of ecosystem-based management to complex environmental problems to conserve, protect and enhance irreplaceable Great Lakes natural resources,” Cuomo’s office added.

SYRACUSE — The six winners of Upstate Medical University’s medical device innovation challenge (MDIC) are moving on with their products’ development.

Upstate MIND (medical innovation and novel discovery center) at Upstate’s Central New York Biotech Accelerator (CNYBAC) sponsored the initiative, the medical school said in a news release.

The six-month program seeks to “promote understanding of and build networks for innovative and technology-driven biotech product and service development and commercialization” per Upstate Medical.

The winners include a shoulder-mounted intravenous (IV) system; urinary catheters with improved infection control; the transformation of well-known video games into respiratory therapy exercise; and an inconspicuous breast pump for moms, Upstate Medical said.

With their wins, Upstate Medical provides the firms six months of free work space at the “creation garage” at the CNYBAC. They’ll also have access to Upstate Medical research and clinical experts along with use of Upstate’s research facilities.

Participants also have access to “intensive mentorship” from a group of medical-device product development, regulatory, commercialization, and legal experts. Collaborative partners involved in the program include Blackstone LaunchPad, which has a program at Syracuse University (SU); Innovation Law Center at SU’s College of Law; and Upstate Venture Connect of Syracuse.

Additionally, teams are invited to apply to student engineering capstone programs at Syracuse University and Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario.

“The innovators in our region continue to find new ways and opportunities to enhance the health and well-being of patients or those with medical conditions,” Kathi Durdon, executive director of the Central New York Biotech Accelerator, said in the release. “Through this program, these innovators will find a ready supply of expertise, support and encouragement to move their products and ideas forward.”

Additional support for the program comes from the Empire State Development (ESD) New York State certified business incubator grant.

The Central New York Biotech Accelerator, which is located at 841 E. Fayette St., is part of Upstate Medical University. The 52,300-square-foot facility offers wet and dry labs, services, coordinated resources, targeted mentorship and education to individuals and startup companies involved in the commercialization of biotech innovation.

Winning businesses

Companies selected as MDIC winners include MedUX, of Syracuse, which is creating a shoulder-mounted portable IV system (called L-IV, for Liberating Intravenous) that allows people in hospital settings or disaster situations to get IV treatment “comfortably and efficiently” without being tethered to an IV pole, per the Upstate Medical release.

They also include Megan Thomas of Syracuse, who is developing a breast pump that can be used while women engage in daily activities, whether at the workplace or at home. The product’s goal is to eliminating the time women must spend solely on pumping. Thomas wants to enable women to pump in the physical workplace without the social stigma of having to seek a storage or break room.

In addition, Halamine Inc. of Ithaca is working to develop a new category of “hydrogel skin” coated urinary catheters with improved infection control. This coating innovation is based on a new composition of hydrogel materials (named HalaGel) that combines antimicrobial and anti-immunoreaction chemistries, which were invented by Cornell University biological engineering researcher Mingyu Qiao, co-founder of Halamine Inc.

The winning firms also include ZephyRx of Albany, which designs breath-powered video-game controllers so popular video games can be used in respiratory therapy for conditions, such as pneumonia, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; Revital Therapeutics of New Jersey, which is a tissue engineering company dedicated to creating off-the-shelf tissue grafts for a wide range of conditions and surgical procedures; and CathBuddy Inc., of Woodbury, which is making reusable urinary intermittent catheters system for people with neurogenic bladder (the loss of bladder control due to brain or spinal cord or nerve problem).

DeWITT — The Virginia–based law firm of Hancock, Daniel & Johnson, P.C. has moved its CNY office to a bigger location in DeWitt and is opening an office in Saratoga Springs.

The law firm — which is located north of Richmond, Virginia — markets itself as Hancock Daniel. It acquired Syracuse–based Centolella Green Law in early 2018.

The law firm focuses on legal matters pertaining to health care, business, and taxes.

It now operates in space at 5793 Widewaters Parkway. It previously was situated in a 1,500-square-foot office in the Hamilton White House at 307 S. Townsend St. in Syracuse. It also previously operated in a 1,500-square-foot office at 6832 E. Genesee St. in DeWitt.

With the new Widewaters Parkway office, Hancock Daniel has ceased operations in its Syracuse and previous DeWitt locations.

New DeWitt office

Those in the local office wanted more space than they were able to have at the East Genesee Street location, so the attorneys pursued other options, says Jason Centolella, director and attorney with Hancock Daniel.

“Given the parking and the easy access from [Interstates] 690 and 481 and people’s familiarity with the business park made a lot of sense for us,” he says.

It was late 2018 when the attorneys in the local office decided they needed to pursue additional space. They started operating in the new office on July 1 of this year.

“It was available. I liked the location. I liked the building,” Centolella says.

Centolella describes Jeff Foster, who he says manages the property, as a “good friend of mine.” Foster is the executive VP of brokerage at Summit Commercial Real Estate Group.

Hancock Daniel has six employees in the DeWitt office, including five attorneys.

More staff additions may happen in the future.

“Given the volume of our work, we could probably bring somebody else on as well,” Centolella says. “If the right candidate came along, we would.”

In addition, colleagues from Hancock Daniel who are normally based in Richmond, Virginia will work on client matters in the Central New York office “at least twice a month,” according to Centolella. For example, James Daniel, a senior partner and founder of the Hancock Daniel firm, spends time in the DeWitt location “two or three times a month,” he notes.

“Typically, I fly,” says Daniel “I travel a lot in my practice, so I’m often not coming from Richmond.”

Both Centolella and Daniel spoke to CNYBJ on Aug. 2 at the new DeWitt office.

Saratoga Springs office

Besides the new office in DeWitt, Hancock Daniel has also secured new space in Saratoga Springs. The firm plans to start using that location in October following a buildout of the space.

“We are doing more and more work in the Capital Region. Clients want us to have a presence out there,” Centolella says in explaining the purpose behind the new office.

The firm has been examining the Capital Region for a “long time,” he says, noting it’s where the New York State Department of Health operates.

“A lot of health care has regulatory issues that take you through the state capital, so it’s never bad to have a presence in that region,” Daniel adds.

A Hancock Daniel client in Saratoga Springs had some extra space and asked if the law firm wanted to use it. Centolella couldn’t disclose the name of the client that offered Hancock Daniel space, but notes the client is not part of the health-care sector.

Centolella declined to disclose how much the preparation work is costing the firm.

Hancock Daniel hopes to have permanent staffing in the Saratoga Springs office, but initially, lawyers in the Syracuse office will rotate through the Capital Region “as necessary,” along with other Hancock Daniel attorneys, according to Centolella.

As of Aug. 2, Hancock Daniel services 10 clients in the greater Albany area. The firm also has clients in the North Country and “a lot” of clients in Central New York, defined as the region between Syracuse and Utica and from the Canadian border to Binghamton.

Through the upstate New York region, Hancock Daniel has clients from Rochester to Albany and from the Canadian border to Binghamton, according to Centolella. He declined to name any of the firm’s clients.

The types of clients include hospitals, health systems, large and small medical groups, individual physicians, ambulatory surgery centers, and accountable-care organizations.

The 4,200-square-foot space is located above the county-owned REA Wing, which houses the Oneida County Public Market, adjacent to Union Station at 321 Main St. in Utica, per an Aug. 5 news release.

Picente first announced the plan to seek development proposals for the space during his State of the County address in March.

“This unique space is ripe for development and I look forward to seeing creative ideas come in as a result of this search,” Picente said in the release. “I believe with the right vision and execution it can really turn into something special and further expand upon the revitalization of Bagg’s Square and downtown Utica.”

Submissions

Respondents to the RFEI must submit a proposal that includes a respondent description with contact information, background information on organizational structure, and the proposed development team.

It must also include a project description. The development plan should include all proposed improvements and uses and their viability, development schedule, employment-generation projections, and applicable tourism impacts.

The proposal also needs to include financial information. The financial data and pro-forma statements should offer a construction budget; sources and uses of project funds; operating cash flows; and a 10-year forecast of project income/funding expenses, capital improvement reserves and any debt-service payments.

The criteria that Oneida County will consider in selecting a proposal will include the “completeness” and quality of overall response, financial and schedule feasibility, respondent qualifications and experience, and economic impact.

Respondents may participate in an optional site visit scheduled for Aug. 15, Picente’s office said.

Those who wish to attend should RSVP to Mark Laramie, deputy commissioner of engineering, by email at mlaramie@ocgov.net by Aug. 13.

Proposals must be submitted to Regina Venettozzi in the Oneida County Department of Planning by Sept. 12.

Those interested can review the REA Wing RFEI by visiting the following website: https://ocgov.net/purchase/availableRFPs.

The Westwood’s developers bank on downtown Utica’s revival

Construction, Design & Real Estate, Regional News, Subscriber Only

UTICA — With a love of rehabbing old buildings combined with nostalgia of downtown Utica remembered from childhood, a two-woman team tackled the renovation and restoration of a six-story Genesee Street building. Now the duo hopes the proposed downtown MVHS hospital combined with other business growth will help further the revitalization of the downtown area

Now the duo hopes the proposed downtown MVHS hospital combined with other business growth will help further the revitalization of the downtown area and help make their building a success.

Christine Martin and Enessa Carbone partnered to purchase the abandoned and boarded-up building from the city of Utica’s Urban Renewal Agency for $20,000 in March 2016 with a plan to renovate a few of the floors, create some apartments, and maybe add some retail space. Ultimately, the project, which started with demolition during the winter of 2016-2017 and construction in April 2017, morphed into The Westwood at 167 Genesee St. (www.thewestwoodutica.com).

The Westwood, named after Westwood Lane in New Hartford where both women live, features retail space on the first floor with current tenants Jimmy John’s Gourmet Sandwiches and Street Corner Urban Market. The 2nd through 5th floors contain 22 apartments, a laundry room, a fitness center, and a lounge for tenant use. The building offers tenant storage in the basement and work is underway to create a storage facility that others can lease space from, Martin says.

The apartments range from efficiencies that rent for $850 a month to a two-story loft that rents for $2,100 a month. The average rent is about $1,400, says Martin, and that includes utilities except electric. The women designed the project themselves and worked with Alesia & Crewell Architects, P.C. of New Hartford on mechanical and code issues.

The renovations, which included replacing electrical and plumbing, cost about $5.5 million, minus grants. The women received a $400,000 Empire State Development grant, a $200,000 National Grid brownfield grant, and a $22,500 façade improvement grant from the city of Utica.

Carbone financed the project with help from a line of credit from Adirondack Bank to bridge the gap until the grant money arrived.

The two women are already successful in their fields. Martin is president of FosterMartin Interactive Marketing in Utica. Carbone is VP at Carbone Auto Group, owned by Lithia Motors Inc. She also serves on Carbone’s legal and acquisitions team. So, why did they decide to take on the rehabilitation of a six-story abandoned building in the heart of downtown Utica?

“There are no reasonable housing options,” Carbone says. Apartments in the Landmarc building or the former Doyle’s Hardware building have higher rents and are a little more of a reach for young professionals starting out.

Attending a block party a few years ago helped spark Carbone’s interest in the project. “It was a really fun day and it reminded me of what Utica used to be when I was growing up,” she says.

Both women wanted their children to stay in the area and say housing options are a crucial component of attracting young residents to urban areas. Both of their sons, in fact, are tenants at the Westwood.

Martin had rehabbed buildings before, including the building next door at 171 Genesee St. “I started buying distressed properties, rehabbing and renting,” she says. She partnered with C. Edward Schmidt on that project, which opened in 2018. Tenants include Character Coffee and Christine’s Cookie Shoppe on the first floor and 171 Events on the 2nd through 5th floors.

“I had a really great experience with that,” Martin says of that project. It made her eager to take on another project.

The Westwood’s first tenants moved in on Jan. 1 of this year. Tenants rented all but three of the pet-friendly units within a month. Only one unit remained available as of press time.

Carbone’s husband Sal Raspante operates the Jimmy John’s franchise restaurant. He also owns a Jimmy John’s in New Hartford. Carbone runs the Street Corner Urban Market, which has a selection of grocery products that include local products.

Carbone says having a grocery store in the building is a vital service not only to the tenants of the building, but also to the downtown area. While she was willing to take on the project, she wasn’t as willing to tackle learning the grocery business from scratch. Instead, she became a Street Corner franchisee. Including the initial $24,900 franchise fee, the total build-out for the store cost about $500,000 Carbone says. Street Corner, which has corporate offices in Poughkeepsie as well as Topeka, Kansas, charges a 4.95 percent royalty fee.

Downtown developments

Happenings such as the Resource Center for Independent Living’s recent move into the old Boston Store location in downtown are a good start, Carbone says. The downtown hospital project coming to fruition and progress on the city’s downtown revitalization initiative will be the keys to their success at The Westwood, the women say.

“Downtown needs to continue to aggressively move forward, “Carbone says. The building can stay afloat a year or two without any further downtown development, she says, but ultimately it needs downtown revitalization to survive.

“We need the hospital to bring jobs downtown,” Martin says. “We need more people living here to support the businesses.”

If the project is profitable, both women say they’d be willing to take on more rehabilitation projects. They are proud when they look at The Westwood, knowing that just three years ago that block of Genesee Street had Freeman & Foote Jewelers on one corner, Adirondack Bank on the other corner, and a bunch of vacant buildings in between.

“We’ve made a big difference in a short period of time,” Carbone contends.
