Consumer sentiment in upstate New York rose three points to 76.9 in June, according to the latest monthly survey from the Siena (College) Research Institute (SRI) released on Friday.
Upstate’s overall-sentiment index of 76.9 is a combination of the current-sentiment and future-sentiment components. Upstate’s current-sentiment index of 81.5 is up 1.5 points from May, while the future-sentiment level rose 3.9 points to 74, according to the SRI data.
The Upstate figure was 1.8 points below the statewide consumer-sentiment level of 78.7, which was up 1.5 points from April, SRI said.
New York’s consumer-sentiment index was 5.4 points lower than the figure for the entire nation of 84.1, which was down 0.4 points from May, as measured by the University of Michigan’s consumer-sentiment index.
National confidence slowed this month but consumers in New York took another “sure- footed step” up the staircase of economic recovery, Dr. Douglas Lonnstrom, professor of statistics and finance at Siena College and SRI Founding Director, said in a news release.
“The overall index as well as both the current and future outlooks were up over the breakeven point indicating more optimism than pessimism for the second straight month. In fact, each index is up between 23 and 27 points compared to this time in 2008,” Lonnstrom said.
In SRI’s monthly analysis of gas and food prices, 68 percent of upstate respondents said the price of gas was having a serious impact on their monthly budgets, which is down from 69 percent in May and unchanged from the 68 percent figure in April.
In addition, 56 percent of statewide respondents indicated concern about the price of gas, down from 57 percent in May, according to SRI.
When asked about food prices, 69 percent of Upstate respondents indicated the price of groceries was having a serious impact on their finances, down from 71 percent in May. About 67 percent of statewide respondents expressed concern about their food bills, down from 68 percent in May.
SRI conducted its consumer-sentiment survey in May by random telephone calls to 800 New York residents over the age of 18.

Onondaga County travel spending rises, SCVB reports

Destiny USA cited as a key factor
SYRACUSE — Visitor travel spending grew 3.5 percent in Onondaga County during 2012 compared to the previous year, according to a new report analyzing the impact of tourism in New York.
The Syracuse Convention & Visitors Bureau (SCVB) recently released details about the report, entitled Economic Impact of Tourism in New York.
Visitors to Onondaga County spent $791 million in 2012, up from $764 million the previous year, the report found.
“It’s a good indicator of what we’re seeing in terms of overall traffic, in terms of results,” says David Holder, president of the SCVB.
The $791 million in travel spending supports more than 16,700 jobs in Onondaga County and generates $103 million in tax revenue, according to the SCVB.
The factors that contributed to the increased travel-spending figure included the “improved” economic climate, Holder says.
“That meant more business travel and transient and general-leisure travel for Syracuse,” he says.
Holder also points to the expansion at Destiny USA, saying it’s attracting more Canadian visitors.
People in the Syracuse area see Destiny USA as a shopping center, a place to eat, and venue offering various forms of entertainment, such as a place to watch a movie, Holder says.
For visitors, it’s “a very different blend” of traditional retail, outlet-based retail, restaurants, and entertainment, he adds.
“And you put that into position with other things to offer in the community, it definitely has changed the people’s perceptions, potential-visitor perceptions of what Syracuse has to offer for a destination,” Holder says.
The increased travel spending has a local-tax impact, according to the SCVB.
The tourism-generated state and local sales-tax revenue in 2012 prevented the average household in Onondaga County from paying an additional $565 in annual taxes, the organization estimated.
In addition to the overall economy and an expanded Destiny USA, summertime events also attract travel-spending dollars, the organization said.
Events such as the Syracuse Nationals, which its website bills as the “largest car show in the Northeast,” is held at the New York State Fairgrounds and generates travel spending estimated at $13 million, the SCVB said.
The Ironman 70.3 Syracuse triathlon, which has attracted participants and visitors to Jamesville Beach Park annually since 2010, is estimated to generate travel spending of $2.3 million, according to the SCVB, and possibly much more.
“But we’ve been told over and over again by the Ironman officials that we are way conservative with that estimate,” Holder says.
Upcoming events that will generate travel spending for 2013 include the East Coast Professional Baseball Showcase at NBT Bank Stadium from July 31 to Aug. 3.
The event features 150 of the best high-school baseball players from the East Coast and draws hundreds of college coaches and Major League Baseball scouts. It’s estimated to produce travel spending at $1 million, according to the SCVB.
The 2013 Bassmaster Open Series is set Aug. 1 to Aug. 3 at Oneida Shores Park, and the Athleta Iron Girl Syracuse Women’s Triathlon is scheduled at the same venue on Aug. 4. The estimated travel spending between the two events is $3.5 million, the SCVB said.
The same report from Philadelphia–based Tourism Economics found that New York’s tourism economy grew about six percent in 2012, following an eight-percent expansion in 2011.
Statewide visitor spending reached a new high of $57.3 billion in 2012 “reaffirming that travel and tourism remains a vital and growing component of the New York state economy,” according to the SCVB news release.
The SCVB is also following some recommendations delivered in the 2012 Destination Market Analysis, which the Annandale, Va.–based Reach Market Planning, LLC prepared for the region.
The recommendations include working to generate more convention business at the Oncenter and efforts at what Holder called “community branding.”
“Make the word[s] Syracuse, Finger Lakes, Central New York … a true driving brand that people just build off of,” he says.

Partnership to provide energy improvement, education at Syracuse Boys & Girls Club

SYRACUSE — National Grid is launching a multi-phase partnership to provide energy-efficiency upgrades and technology education at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Syracuse location at 2100 E. Fayette St. in Syracuse.
The utility is partnering with the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation and Warner Energy on the Adopt-A-Club initiative that involves the efficiency work, science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education through curriculum development, and volunteerism through tutoring, mentoring, and coaching.
“National Grid will commit $100,000 to make this happen,” Melanie Littlejohn, Central New York regional executive at National Grid, said during her remarks at a June 27 event announcing the initiative.
Support from the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation will provide improvements to the club’s gym and basketball court, according to National Grid.
The Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation is described as an organization that “works to enrich the lives of kids in need within the Central New York community, as well as provide support for eliminating cancer through research and advocacy” on a National Grid news release about the partnership.
The partnership also involves Warner Energy of Clay, which will provide alternative-energy mechanisms to reduce the facility’s carbon footprint.
Warner Energy will install solar panels on the facility’s roof. It’s estimated the panels will save the agency a total of about 800,000 kilowatt hours of energy over the 25-year lifetime of the system and reduce nearly 564 metric tons of carbon dioxide over that quarter-century time period, according to National Grid.
Those measurements are equivalent of planting nearly 14,500 trees or removing 180 vehicles from the road, the utility added.
The solar project will help reduce operational costs for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Syracuse, says Zach Drescher, head of sales for Warner Energy.
“We’re going to be installing a monitoring screen and educational curriculum to help educate the students here on the benefit of solar [energy], daily production [of it] … analyze that, and create opportunities for them in the future,” Drescher says.
After the electrical and structural assessments involved, Warner Energy is hoping to begin the project within a three to four month time frame, he says.
Warner Energy designs and develops solar projects for clients throughout the U.S. and distributes solar modules and related components to solar installers. The Warner Energy campus includes a technology-development laboratory, solar-module manufacturing lines, a meterological-monitoring station, solar-module testing and demonstration arrays, and focus center for research, development, and manufacturing of new renewable technologies.
National Grid (NYSE: NGG) delivers electricity to about 3.3 million customers in New York, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. The utility describes itself as the largest distributor of natural gas in the northeastern U.S., serving about 3.4 million customers in the same three states.
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Syracuse is a youth development agency which aims to “inspire and enable all young people in the Syracuse area, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens,” according to its website.
The organization has served thousands of kids for more than a hundred years, Kathleen Centolella, chair of the board at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Syracuse, said during the event.
“In addition to the facility’s upgrades, which will be huge, adding the component of education around science and math and technology is so exciting to us,” Centolella says.

KeyBank survey: organic growth driving mid-market expansion in 2013
More than half of the nation’s middle-market companies plan to expand their businesses in the next six months with the addition of employees, equipment, or adding new facilities. That’s according to the new KeyBank Middle Market Business Sentiment Survey released on June 27. Predictions for 2013 indicated middle-market companies might set records for mergers and

More than half of the nation’s middle-market companies plan to expand their businesses in the next six months with the addition of employees, equipment, or adding new facilities.
That’s according to the new KeyBank Middle Market Business Sentiment Survey released on June 27.
Predictions for 2013 indicated middle-market companies might set records for mergers and acquisitions (M&A), but the same survey found nearly half the respondents “have not been merger-minded” so far this year, according to Key.
The survey found 49 percent of middle-market business leaders polled had no interest in making an acquisition, and only 24 percent completed an acquisition. An additional 27 percent indicated they considered but did not complete an acquisition.
It appears the middle market wants to “hedge its bets” given ongoing uncertainty about issues such as the U.S. debt crisis and companies’ final tab for compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), Cindy Crotty, head of KeyBank’s commercial-banking segment, said in a news release.
“Until they have more clear information about these big issues, middle-market companies just are not willing to take the risk of investing in and integrating acquisitions,” Crotty said.
Middle-market leaders remain risk-averse despite their growing confidence in the economic outlook nationally, locally, and for their businesses, KeyBank said. More than half characterized the U.S. economic outlook to be “good to excellent” for the remainder of 2013 and early 2014.
Companies that passed on M&A opportunities so far “still might take the plunge,” Crotty said.
“There are a lot of factors that make this the right time to buy, including taking advantage of interest rates that are still low, at least for now,” she said.
Middle-market companies will expand with new jobs in the next six months, the survey found. Nearly two thirds of respondents (61 percent) plan to add employees.
Expansion by adding new facilities or locations and making significant equipment purchases are “secondary,” according to KeyBank.
The middle-market companies considering expansion will have cash reserves “on hand” for financing the work, according to Key.
Half of the middle-market leaders polled will increase cash reserves over the next six months; of those, 39 percent want “deep reserves on hand” as they plan for company investment or expansion, the bank said.
Access to credit increases confidence among middle-market leaders in their ability to finance growth. A combined 70 percent of those polled indicated they are either extremely confident or very confident in their ability to obtain credit, the survey found.
The suryey also found more than half of those polled are more concerned now than last year at this time about the cost to provide or continue providing health care to employees.
A “significant” percentage of respondents, some 62 percent, are very or extremely concerned about the cost to provide adequate health care to their employees, according to Key.
About 49 percent indicated they are very or extremely concerned about the cost of continuing to offer health care, the survey found.
KeyBank released the survey results just days before the administration of President Barack Obama announced on July 2 that the employer mandate in the federal health-care reform law (PPACA) is delayed by one year and won’t take effect until 2015.
That mandate required companies with 50 or more full-time workers begin providing coverage, or face penalties.
KeyBank collaborated with Los Angeles–based Lieberman Research Worldwide on the survey to understand what business sentiments are affecting each organization’s strategies and tactics, and to determine which regulatory and global-economic issues are affecting them, the bank said.
The research involved 400 financial decision-makers in middle-market businesses that generate between $20 million and $4 billion in annual revenue. Respondents answered online surveys in mid-April, according to Key.
Cleveland, Ohio–based KeyBank (NYSE: KEY) has more than 1,000 branches in 14 states.
KeyBank is the number two bank in the Syracuse–metro area deposit market with 27 branches, more than $1.8 billion in deposits, and a market share of 16.8 percent, according to the latest (June 2012) statistics from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
The bank has two offices, more than $58 million in deposits, and a market share of 1.6 percent in the Utica–Rome area.
