PASSES UNANIMOUSLY. NEXT ONE IS OUR ANNUAL FUNDING OF MOHAWK VALLEY EDGE. AND AS SHAWNA MAKES HER WAY UP THERE AGAIN, ANOTHER COMMENT I'LL THROW AT THAT SAME HOUSING ONE, TIM FITZGERALD THAT SOME OF YOU KNOW FROM THIS BOARD WAS A PRESENTER. A LOT OF THE OTHER EDGE FOLKS WERE IN ROME LAST NIGHT SO COULDN'T MAKE IT IN, BUT I'D ALREADY SHARED WITH SHAWNA. GREAT JOB LAST NIGHT.AND ALSO, I WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU ON YOUR APPOINTMENT AS A NEW DIRECTOR, LEADER, PRESIDENT SLASH IN CHARGE. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. STRESS IN LIFE. SO THIS IS THE ANNUAL ANNUAL SUPPLEMENT TO MOHAWK VALLEY EDGE. ANY. SHAWNA, YOU WANT A COMMENT? SO I THINK WE HAD A MEETING BACK IN OCTOBER WHERE WE DID A PRESENTATION. AND I THINK THERE'S A LOT STILL TO BE HIGHLIGHTED OUT OF THAT THAT WE COVERED. I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE WERE PLEASED TO PUT IN THAT STUDY WAS SHOWING OUR TIME ALLOTMENT AND HOW MUCH TIME WE REALLY SPEND ON SOME OF THE SMALLER PROJECTS YOU NEVER HEAR ABOUT. BASICALLY, IT'S THE BUSINESS OUTREACH. IT'S THE COMPANIES THAT WE JUST WANT TO BE SURE WE HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH. I'M PRETTY PROUD OF OUR BUSINESS OUTREACH PROGRAM. WE, AT A MINIMUM, HIT 250 COMPANIES EACH YEAR. I GOT A NOTE FROM ONE OF THEM ON HOW I JUST MENTIONED A PROGRAM TO THEM, AND IT WAS A NEW MARKET TAX CREDIT PROGRAM FOR A PROJECT THEY WERE DOING, AND IT NETTED THEM $4.1 MILLION. SO MY POINT TO THE STAFF WAS JUST KEEP GOING, BUILDING THOSE RELATIONSHIPS. SO I THINK ALL OF YOU, BECAUSE THAT'S PART OF THE REASON WHY I'M HERE AND I'M SUCCESSFUL. SO I THANK YOU. WE CONTINUE TO LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE COUNTY ON THE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE SAINT LUKE'S CAMPUS, AS WELL AS THE TRIANGLE PROJECT AT GRIFFITHS, WHICH, YOU KNOW, I ANTICIPATE SEEING SOME REALLY GREAT THINGS COME OUT OF. WE'RE NOT GOING TO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOT GOING TO, YOU KNOW, BECOME DRAPERY HANGERS. WE'RE ECONOMIC DEVELOPERS. SO YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR A LOT OF THE SAME TYPE OF PROJECTS, BUT WE'RE HOPING TO HEAR A LOT OF NEW COMPANY NAMES THIS COMING YEAR. EXCITED ABOUT MARCY. IT'S GOING TO BE ONE OF THOSE LEGACIES WE CONTINUE FOR STEVE. BUT IT'S BEARING FRUIT AND WE HAVE COMPANIES CONTINUING TO LOOK AT US. SO IT'S SOMETHING THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR MORE ABOUT THIS COMING YEAR. AND THE GREAT NEWS ABOUT MARK. JUST REMEMBER THIS. WE ARE SHOVEL READY. WHEREAS IN SYRACUSE THEY STILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEIR INDIANA BATS. WE'RE DONE. WELL, IN SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF A GROUP THAT MADE IT OUT AND YOUR LAST QUARTERLY REPORT, I THINK WE HAD A VAST MAJORITY. I FORGOT THE NUMBER, BUT IT SEEMED LIKE A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF THE BOARD. BUT I WOULD JUST ASK YOU TO CONTINUE TO TRUMPET THAT FOR OUR COLLEAGUES, BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF SITTING THROUGH THAT PRESENTATION. WHEN YOU SEE
[00:05:02]
THE WHOLE SCOPE OF EVERYTHING THAT EDGE DOES. YOU JUST SIT BACK IN AWE OF ALL THOSE CONNECTIONS. SO ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD? SEEING NONE, WE'LL PROCEED. OH SORRY STEVE. GO AHEAD. YOU ALMOST MISSED IT. YOU SAY CONGRATULATIONS. THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE IT. ANY OTHER COMMENTS? SEEING NONE WILL PROCEED TO VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. NO. MOTION CARRIES. UNANIMOUS MOTION TO ADJOURN. MOVED BY MIKE. SECONDED BY CAROLINE. ALL IN FAVOR, SAY AYE. AYE. OPPOSED? NO. WE'RE OUT OF HERE. AIRPORT. YOU'RE ON DECK. FLY RIGHT UP HERE. GET THAT PUN.
