Robert Petrovich stated the report articulates a number of accomplishments of the IDA over the last year. He stated it was a challenging year on a number of aspects principally with meeting remotely as we still are working to keep the economy moving in the midst of a pandemic. He stated some of the notable accomplishments were projects related to solar in Skaneateles, the Tessy Plastics project and TC Syracuse which ultimately became the Amazon project in Clay. He stated we had a successful program where we provided PPE relief in the form of grants to local businesses through their application to the IDA. He stated it was generally administered by Carolyn Evans-Dean and she did a great job in managing it. He stated we are underway with a potentially significant project in the White Pine/Clay area and are expanding the park in its size and scope. He stated we are actively pursuing a large project to locate there. He stated some changes were made to the UTEP which included some enhancements and revisions focused on business development and retention for job creation. He stated those are some of the noteworthy highlights contained in the 2020 report but there are a number of projects. He stated the Board has been intimately involved in the success of the IDA and he thanks them for their support. He stated staff has done a great job and we are looking forward to a robust 2021.
