1. Retail

Downtown Oneonta has approximately 300,000 SF of ground floor commercial space and its main anchors include civic buildings, eating establishments, theater, and banks. According to the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) definition of commercial areas, the Downtown Oneonta corresponds to a mix of ‘Large Neighborhood

Center’ and ‘Lifestyle Center’ and pulls customers typically from 6 to 12 miles.

A location quotient (LQ) is an analytical statistic that measures a region's industrial specialization relative to a larger geographic unit (in this case the State).A location quotient over 1.0 means that the County has a higher concentration of its jobs in that

industry than New York State.

Jobs

Industrial SpaceFor a place with rail and interstate access as well as available land adjacent to this transportation infrastructure, the share of employment in transportation and warehousing is low.

The concept of developing an industrial park at the Oneonta D&H Rail Yard makes sense given the data. State-of-the-art industrial space with access to the rail and highway network would help to strengthen this existing weakness in the economy.

OfficeAt current rents, investors cannot build new general office and achieve a reasonable investment return:

At 40% capture rate, over next 10 years 3,000 square feet of general office space12,000 square feet of medical space

6.PROJECT SUMMARY


CitY of oNeoNta

55

How to Prioritize Projects?

Financial Leverage

• Does it leverage other financial resources, ie private investment, partner funding programs?

Non-financial Leverage:

• What benefits aside from the specific project might be generated?• Increase in business or economic activity in the surrounding neighborhood?

Sustainable Economic Practice

• Does it operate on its own, generate its own revenues, after the initial investment is made? • Do you have to place new money into it year after year to keep it afloat?• Can it revolve funds, so the same money is used again and again.

Percentage use of your funds:

• Small projects may generate benefits, and you can have many projects• Large projects may generate benefits, but use all your funds on a few projects
