Economic Impact Feedback

The Oneida and Herkimer ED Group continues to receive feedback regarding the economic impact panel discussion:

I am sorry that I could not attend. We have been counting economic impact for many years at the UNHS NeighborWorks HomeOwnership Center. We count it in the number of rehab projects (and dollars related) along with the number of mortgages and related servies that would not happen without our servies...$65M in 10 year period. It is estimate that our services will bring $25M into Oneida, Herkimer and Madison counties in the next five years...that does not count employee at our organization or the employment that happens in banks or construction companies as a result of our work.
