This is a thoughtful and comprehensive blueprint for economic growth, involving community leaders focusing on five significant themes that will bring jobs to the Southern Tier. Our Council is confident that the execution of this plan will recharge the Southern Tier into a competitive economic region. We expect the implementation process will continue to serve as a unifying force in the region, one that brings together agencies, academic institutions and the private sector at all levels, with a shared vision for economic growth. This plan presents an analysis of the region’s core strengths and opportunities to leverage its assets. The document identifies tactics to deal effectively with the barriers we face to bring about real change with measurable results. The planning process represented the deliberative involvement of businesses, stakeholder groups, and the residents of our region. The resulting strategies highlighted in this plan are designed to increase employment, facilitate the growth and expansion of industry and business, improve the quality of life of all residents, grow the tax base, further promote and develop the region, and position the Southern Tier as a great place to live, work, and increase economic growth. With this plan, the leadership of our region will be empowered to employ strategies for attracting business, enhancing agriculture and health care, expanding the industrial base, and rebuilding our infrastructure by the active involvement of industry and government working with our colleges and universities. The plan to combine our eight counties to collectively forward economic development has created a cohesive and competitive regional force. With your support we look forward to implementing this dynamic blueprint.

    10 Krey Boulevard Rensselaer, NY 12144 December 9, 2013 Re: NYISO 2013 Congestion Assessment and Resource Integration Studies Report Dear NYISO Economic Planning Interested Parties: On November 19, 2013 the New York Independent System Operator, Inc. (NYISO) Board of Directors approved the attached 2013 Congestion Assessment and Resource Integration Studies Report (2013 CARIS Report). The 2013 CARIS Report was developed in compliance with the NYISO’s Tariff, specifically Attachment Y of the NYISO’s Open Access Transmission Tariff (OATT). Market participants actively engaged in the development of the 2013 CARIS model assumptions, the review of analysis results, and the review and approval of the final 2013 CARIS Report. The 2013 CARIS Report presents the impact of historic and projected congestion on the New York Control Area electric system and the potential benefits to New York consumers of generic generation, transmission, demand response, and energy efficiency solutions. The impact of historic and projected congestion is determined in accordance with the applicable provisions of the NYISO’s OATT, as are the potential benefits of the generic solutions. The NYISO’s OATT requires that New York system-wide production cost savings be the sole metric for the evaluation of the economic benefit of projects in the CARIS process. Under this tariff- prescribed process, a project’s projected benefits are, in turn, compared to the cost of that project to produce a benefit-cost ratio. The time-horizon over which project benefits are measured is limited to ten years. Analysis of additional metrics such as capacity market savings and environmental benefits are included in the 2013 CARIS Report, for informational purposes only.

Monticello, Deputy Chief of Police Media Release Prepared by: Officer Jamie Williamson Date Prepared: February 2, 2017 On Saturday February 4, 2017 a commercial truck towing an exceptionally long commercial load is scheduled to travel through Ithaca in a southerly direction. Combined, the truck and trailer are over 380 feet long and twenty feet wide. Traffic patterns in Ithaca will be changed to accommodate this load.

Three people were killed and 69 people were treated at area hospitals for minor to serious injuries sustained in this accident. The total estimated damage exceeded $3.3 million. From its investigation of this accident, the Safety Board identified the following safety issues: the medical condition of the engineer of train 1254, the adequacy of medical standards for locomotive engineers, and the adequacy of the response to the accident by New Jersey Transit train crewmembers. Based on its findings, the Safety Board made recommendations to the Federal Railroad Administration, the New Jersey Transit, the Association of American Railroads, the American Public Transit Association, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and the United Transportation Union. The National Transportation Safety Board is an independent Federal agency dedicated to promoting avia- tion, railroad, highway, marine, pipeline, and hazardous materials safety. Established in 1967, the agency is mandated by Congress through the Independent Safety Board Act of 1974 to investigate transportation accidents, determine the probable cause of accidents, issue safety recommendations, study transportation safety issues, and evaluate the safety effectiveness of government agencies involved in transportation. The Safety Board makes public its actions and decisions through accident reports, safety studies, special investigation reports, safety recommendations, and statistical reviews.
