The North Shore Council of Governments (NorCOG)—which includes the Towns of Constantia and West Monroe and the Villages of Central Square and Cleveland—will hold a Public Presentation on Tuesday, January 30th from 7:00 to 8:00pm at the AA Cole Elementary School Cafeteria, 1683 NY-49, Constantia, NY. This session is intended to present a draft of the Economic Recovery and Resiliency Plan that has been under development since July 2023.
NorCOG, in partnership with the Tug Hill Commission and various community partners, aims to take a proactive approach to economic growth by identifying and leveraging opportunities offered by proximity to Oneida Lake and the Micron project. The goal of the Economic Recovery and Resiliency Plan is to provide a strategy and specific actions that can be undertaken to achieve transformative economic outcomes for the North Shore. This plan will be used as a guide for municipalities, partners, and future development projects investing in the community.
NorCOG engaged MRB Group from Rochester, NY to assist in this effort. As part of this plan, the MRB team conducted economic and market analyses, assessed current conditions of the NorCOG region, and gathered input from local stakeholders. A public input session held on October 30th, 2023 was attended by 50 residents and stakeholders, and additional input was received via surveys and interviews. This input ultimately helped the project team to better understand the wants, needs, and challenges of the community, leading to the development of a plan that provides a strategy to best facilitate sustainable and beneficial development activity.
The meeting on January 30th will include a presentation of the plan, after which the public will have the opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback. A draft of the plan is available on the “Economic Resiliency and Recovery Plan” project page on the www.norcog.org website at the link on the Projects and Reports page.
