We're excited about this rehab in in Uika. 26 "Ben Kfoury" (2583007488) 00:06:25.469 --> 00:06:42.469 The front portion of the building is an existing price right that will stay in operation will be revitalizing the vacant portions of the building as well as utilizing the underground parking area. 27 "Ben Kfoury" (2583007488) 00:06:43.609 --> 00:07:00.849 I think we're gonna look to make improvements to the price right parking lot as well, kind of reimprove the whole property. It's definitely fallen into a little bit of, what was that? 28 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:07:01.422 --> 00:07:02.821 It's the best right now. 29 "Ben Kfoury" (2583007488) 00:07:03.644 --> 00:07:31.003 Yes, yeah. It is a it is a mess right now and that's kind of our specialty as we get into these messier properties and we convert them into something and bring them back to functional glory. We've we've done a lot of these older industrial conversions and they all end up coming out really well. Our construction timeline usually takes about four to. 30 "Ben Kfoury" (2583007488) 00:07:31.799 --> 00:07:51.679 Eight months I would say this one should be on the quicker end. The building inside is in good condition and we've been seeking these pilots and and tax incentives that really help us make these projects feasible, and we look forward to working. 31 "Ben Kfoury" (2583007488) 00:07:51.719 --> 00:08:08.559 Working with, all the town officials and everyone involved in the project. We hire local construction help and we'll also hire local staff to run the facility for us. 32 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:08:09.867 --> 00:08:10.987 Okay. 33 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:08:12.799 --> 00:08:32.239 Any questions?

He's was supposed to be here in person, so I'm not sure what is going on there if you want to skip that and we can go to performance plus. 38 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:58.439 So again, Mike Marizio is with us. He is purchasing the property under performance plus solutions and Bill Clem is online with ease e bliss. So he'll give a very short description of the bike facility. 39 "William Klehm" (1386511872) 00:10:00.167 --> 00:10:03.208 I know yeah ok ok then you're in a blue shirt again. 40 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:10:04.048 --> 00:10:34.249 Yes I am gonna let Mike go because he is the property owner, so your thoughts and process and everything for what you're doing. Tell us what about the property. The property is over near the harper, and it's it's currently Felvo manufacturing. So the facility is pretty is is basically what we need to, to get the manufacturing going. The size is good for assembly. 41 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:10:35.599 --> 00:10:57.038 It's there's there's room for expansion and there's a lot of cleanup that needs to be done, but it's it's to put out the number of bites we need to additionally, it's it's a good fit for us. And Bill, if you can give a little bit just on ebless, we know that. 42 "William Klehm" (1386511872) 00:10:59.152 --> 00:11:00.431 You've had some funds and. 43 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:11:00.626 --> 00:11:05.746 And, have, you know, made an announcement on this so people are pretty excited about it. 44 "William Klehm" (1386511872) 00:11:05.788 --> 00:11:29.107 Got it. Yeah. Oh, for 1st of all, thanks everybody. This is I have not met everybody in the room. Some of the people know me as Vin has already given the warning that I'm gonna talk too long. So thank you Vin. So Bill Bill Clemton the CEO ebliss. I have been in the transportation manufacturing distribution business for over 40 years. I worked for Ford Motor Company for a very long time as an executive. 45 "William Klehm" (1386511872) 00:11:29.849 --> 00:11:48.369 I have been building e bikes and bikes for several years before that I spent 14 years building dra drive trains and transmissions for the industry. I was a part of its e bike birth in Europe and its massive expansion. My vision always was to bring this to the United States. 46 "William Klehm" (1386511872) 00:11:49.099 --> 00:12:08.859 The opportunity in Udica is very unique. One we bring jobs on rebuilding America, so we will have a, we will rebuild or help to rebuild the manufacturing footprint in and around Udica, so we think taking a leadership position is important. Stage one is this building complex and that's to build. 47 "William Klehm" (1386511872) 00:12:09.019 --> 00:12:36.099 To about 15000 bikes in the next twelve months. Stage two is we will be inviting the entire e bike industry and its supply chain, which is about a ten, $12 billion global industry. We'll be inviting them to come to Utika to be able to build sub component manufacturing in and around us to support a 5 million unit market in the United States. So our objective is to. 48 "William Klehm" (1386511872) 00:12:36.749 --> 00:12:56.229 Is to make Eudica our anchor piece. I have been unbelievably supported by the people in this room and the people around all of you, from the mayor to the governor, to the ESD to everybody has been wildly supportive. Our largest investor is Mike Morizio, so one of the reasons why. 49 "William Klehm" (1386511872) 00:12:56.469 --> 00:13:30.028 Way we are in Yudica is because Mike Mike's investment and supportive of us has been fantastic. So we've taken the risk out of the play. We have a very firm timeline to move 15000 bikes. If you haven't seen the picture, I've got it on the front page of the presentation. Jack can, if Jack could put that up, I'll show you the vision of what we want to do with the building, but we think this is going to be not just a manufacturing center, but it's going to be a bit of a show place on the edges of the, of the harbor, and we think it's gonna be a. 50 "William Klehm" (1386511872) 00:13:30.389 --> 00:13:38.908 Incredibly attractive piece in downtown Udicub. So appreciate the support Mike and everybody. We are, we're, we're on our way. 51 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:13:42.947 --> 00:13:51.148 Sounds good. Any questions though? Where's the picture? Yeah, I don't know. It maybe on my computer, but. 52 "William Klehm" (1386511872) 00:13:54.330 --> 00:13:57.171 Hey, our whole manufacturing site. 53 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:13:57.166 --> 00:14:20.846 Yeah. Got to clear it out and and put our equipment in and and basically cleaning up the pacide. It needs some updating and the sounds. So it's we haven't want to go. There's a lot of windows that. 54 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:14:21.198 --> 00:14:51.958 Have been filled in, you know, with block so and taking a tour of the building with these gentlemen last week, we they're looking to, you know, have people when they're, when they're looking at the bikes and wanting to purchase them, then they can see the assembly and kind of look into the building. They're dark, you know, dark in their tunnels anyways, so it'll brighten up the space and make it conducive to so it's the timeline from purchase to, you know, you know, outfitting the plant to manufacturing. 55 "William Klehm" (1386511872) 00:14:53.163 --> 00:14:55.163 I'll I'll take that. 56 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:14:55.149 --> 00:14:57.349 We want to hit bikes out the door by the end of the year. 57 "William Klehm" (1386511872) 00:14:57.375 --> 00:15:27.815 Yeah, we're gonna so our right now, right now we have a pilot facility in Aims iowa. We can do sub component assembly already in aims. So we're so we can up and run very quickly. We will have bikes being produced in Eudica, new York by the end of this year for sale in the United States. Our objective, there's a whole series of little steps you have to take to to follow the federal trade federal I can't even say it. Federal trade commissions view on what is made in America and made in America, all those things. 58 "William Klehm" (1386511872) 00:15:28.269 --> 00:16:01.789 So our objective is by the time the country has this 250th birthday, we will have bikes fully made in the US. The way that the way the tariff rule works is wherever the frame is welded is where the bike's tariffs resides. That's a 1978 FTC guidelines, which hasn't changed on bikes and e bikes. So we will be welding frames and making full bikes by, by the, by the birthday of the country, 250th birthday. So that's that goal. So one of the interesting things about what we are. 59 "William Klehm" (1386511872) 00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:27.278 Doing is we are inviting the manufacturing base of Mohawk Valley to come with us, to work with our, these other suppliers from the world to make these components. There's a hundred and 44 components on an e bike just to kind of orient everybody. About 85 % of them we think can be made organically in the Mohawk Valley and in the US. So again, this is a wonderful opportunity to encourage growth. 60 "William Klehm" (1386511872) 00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:33.519 Worth of manufacturing in the entire region, and we think this is gonna be a beacon of hope for that, for that goal. 61 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:16:36.045 --> 00:16:37.285 Thank you.

So this is compiled just within the state. Part of that goal is to help keep our children here. 86 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:20:56.118 --> 00:21:13.439 And it's also going to go into the workforce board offices because they have a problem reaching the 18 to 26th or what I call the lost boys, and what they have is now that group of people lives. 87 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:21:13.889 --> 00:21:33.889 In the virtual reality. I mean in the virtual world now, they're on TikTok, they're on all these video formats, they're in virtual reality, they're laying the video games. So it would be a nice traw to be able to say for the workforce boards to turn around and say, hey, you can come in and look at business X, business Y, business Z career X Y and Z cause the format is set up specific. 88 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:21:33.889 --> 00:21:54.889 Quickly so that we can target businesses throughout the region and we can target careers in those specific businesses. So guidance counselors for many years and I think they're doing a great job and they're doing more than they ever were before, especially now with the mental health issues and things like that going on in schools. 89 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:21:55.199 --> 00:22:14.639 But guidance counselors were always, if you ask them about a college, they knew everything there was to know about colleges. Ask them or many people in our community, what are 20 businesses around you and you get blind stairs. I mean the people in this room, of course, would know. 90 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:22:15.499 --> 00:22:35.179 But people don't know what's in their own communities, so how do we start to educate these students and stop hearing, what are you going to college for? I don't know. I'll figure it out when I get there. We all have heard that. The other thing, New York state Department of Education is changing the region's program. I'm not sure if anybody. 91 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:22:35.378 --> 00:23:00.979 Is aware of that. They're going away from the regions and what they're doing is they're going to this blue ribbon portrait of a graduate, and within two years, every 9th grader is going to have to be in a specific pathway. That pathway will lead to a diploma that has a seal on it to whatever that pathway was. Arts, you know, arts and literature, science, the art, you know, however they figure out the final. 92 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:23:01.859 --> 00:23:21.379 Sticker. So it won't be what it is now where you either pass the regions or you don't graduate or however that's working right now, it's gonna go back to what it was before. Well, this can help us guide students to those pathways, two programs in bosses, two different colleges, and to different careers throughout. 93 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:23:21.619 --> 00:23:42.658 The Mohawk Valley. The beautiful part is the way the videos online are set up, it's the videos are made predominantly by students of these businesses and projects. So, for instance, they will start with a project based learning in a class. They'll say, hey, we're gonna go. 94 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:23:42.829 --> 00:24:00.269 Go to this business. We need to study who they are and what they are. So they'll start doing research on the business. Then they'll turn around and they'll figure, they'll break up into teams and some of the teams will figure out, ok, who's gonna be the video cameras? Who are gonna be my interviewers? Who's gonna catch the audio, who's gonna do the three 60 camera? 95 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:24:01.079 --> 00:24:15.799 Now what happens is, as they're learning all this, they're developing a project, they're learning about businesses that are local to us and helping support our local business community to get jobs, then they're going out to the business. 96 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:24:16.439 --> 00:24:36.199 And they're going ahead and they're doing all the camera work they're doing, so they'll have five different, four or five different, two D cameras. They'll have one with a three 60 camera that can take make this once we put the video together, you could walk through the plant, hear the same questions, but you'll be able to turn on virtual reality goggles and see. 97 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:24:36.519 --> 00:25:02.478 See the whole plant because manufacturing today is not what it was back in my day, back in some of your days, it's not dirty, it's not a filthy thing, it's very high tech, it's very clean, across the board, which then helps the students see the bigger picture. But also if they see me as an old man asking questions and doing stuff, the kids shut the videos down or they start to shut down, it's just a cognizant thing. It's subconscious. 98 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:25:03.229 --> 00:25:22.469 So seeing other students ask the same question, you know, asking questions of these people keeps the students engaged longer. A sidebar that we learned during the process over the last six years that they've been doing it is HR departments and employers are starting to see what their next workforce is gonna look like. 99 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:42.158 So, we all know there's gauges and there's piercings and there's tattoos and there's the way people dress, which is maybe different than what we're used to. HR departments are starting to learn that also. So, we became a catalyst project back in 2023 for the MVREDC. 100 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:25:43.159 --> 00:26:14.318 We were in there, 2023 strategic plan. And then in 2024 we applied for the Mohawk Valley in Powers grant. In January of 2025, we were approved and awarded $549000 to expand this project across the Mohawk Valley. So it'll be all six counties. Every school will get access to the website, which has over 300 videos on it currently of different businesses. They'll have access. 101 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:26:14.599 --> 00:26:36.679 To virtual reality goggles in their schools. MVCC, FMCCC will also have the virtual reality goggles. The workforce board offices will have the virtual reality goggles and they'll all have access to the online. That's 64000 students. There are projects currently going on from Syracuse all the way through Albany. 102 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:26:37.738 --> 00:26:52.299 One of the videos you saw in your packet was the CBS Albany News broadcast of students actually working on the water park slide project. What I loved about that is it's students actually engaging and learning. 103 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:26:54.328 --> 00:27:11.329 How the curriculum that they're learning in school transitions. I know probably everybody in this room at some point in time when we were back in school and we went to Algebra class, we were like, when am I ever gonna use this again? Well, now they're turning around and they're seeing wait a minute, this is how. 104 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:27:12.159 --> 00:27:26.959 These, this curriculum can translate into the real world. So there's multiple different levels of this project that are working to help educators and the teachers in the room, the guidance counselors help direct students to. 105 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:27:28.599 --> 00:27:48.399 Whether it's a college, whether it's an apprenticeship, whether it's a job, and then it's also working to keep us focused. Another sidebar that's gonna be of the project is we'll have a virtual reality room that is mobile. So if anybody's seen the Vango project like on TV where you get to walk in the room and you. 106 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:27:48.639 --> 00:28:13.159 See everything around you. We will have a five sided mobile immersion room that we can take to job fairs, career fairs, state fairs, local community events, even the idea if there's a project that you're trying to discuss or push throughout the community, we can set that up. It's one of the rooms where you can walk in and have everything on five walls. 107 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:28:13.159 --> 00:28:28.878 It's around you, and the computer system set up is gonna be on a trail in a trailer. It takes about 2 h for us to set up, 2 h to tear down. Currently they're being used throughout higher education facilities throughout the United States and a lot in Europe. 108 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:28:29.689 --> 00:28:49.209 And so the goal of this project is just to start educating people because especially in our rural communities, if the students don't see it, if the people don't see it, the parents don't know it from their history, how are these kids gonna know that the jobs that organizations like you organizations like us are trying to build. 109 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:28:49.449 --> 00:29:16.888 Old are going to, that they're out there and that they're opportunities especially since we all sit right along the the new nano, New York nano corridor with Micron and all the other things coming into our community and global founders in Dan Foss. How are these kids gonna really know what's out there for them? We had one briefing where the kids went and to global founderies and they were told only 38 % of the stu of the people that work global founders have higher level degrees. 110 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:29:17.479 --> 00:29:34.598 Yet they have nurses, they have their own police force, they have their own fire department, they have their own marketing department, and these kids never thought that they could apply to global founderies to get jobs that weren't in the micro chip arena. So, so the project has been growing. 111 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:29:35.229 --> 00:29:52.909 Again, it has a lot of backing throughout the state. Department of Labor is looking at picking it up depending on how this all goes, and it's gonna be out there in all the schools. It is throughout some of the region already. Some of the schools like the hercamera poses. 112 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:29:54.319 --> 00:30:14.199 Mvcc's already engaged in using these products, so it's out there. The problem I'm having and the ask is that, how do we, as you all know, whenever we're trying to do grants, how do we go ahead and, get the pre funding so we can get it all to work? Cause we're a small organization just like you, nonpro. 113 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:30:14.319 --> 00:30:37.079 Profit, we don't have the big deep coughers to do that, so we came up with the idea of asking IDAs for their help. If we are lucky enough to get ida's to go ahead and help, then every penny that's given to us will come directly back to you as the drawdowns happen. Now, everyone also knows that grants are a nightmare. 114 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:30:37.789 --> 00:30:57.269 So, to get through the process, here's the beautiful thing, I am retired at Air force. So I have a government brain and on a positive, my MWBE is the waiver, pretty waiver is going through right now because the MWBE office has already said. 115 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:30:57.909 --> 00:31:16.229 They like what we've done as far as our good faith efforts, so we're already over that major hurdle, which is great. So now it's just got to go through, get the final signatures. They said it probably could be done in less than a month where the MWBE pre waiver is approved. So can I interrupt. 116 "Linda romano" (3271358720) 00:31:16.255 --> 00:31:23.855 Ask you for a second. Have you run into an issue? Constitutional, the new york Constitution prohibits ideas from. 117 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:31:24.154 --> 00:31:25.433 Lending money. Yes. So. 118 "Linda romano" (3271358720) 00:31:25.854 --> 00:31:35.854 The idea would not be the, the, the entity to do this. It would be the LDC if, if they decided to go ahead. How are you dealing with that another idea. 119 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:31:38.051 --> 00:31:56.890 Yes, I I heard in the, when I went to our county who has supported they're in a similar situation, they don't have like a CIC or an LDC or stuff like that that can do that. So what mine did is they're making, that's why I didn't say we're gonna do one full, you know, for everybody, one memorandum. 120 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:31:57.469 --> 00:32:14.389 Because it's everybody's a little bit different. So what my county's doing is they're just, putting the down payment down with the organization for the immersion room and paying them directly and then in the memorandum that they're writing up for me, we're just gonna. 121 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:32:15.489 --> 00:32:33.649 Give the money, when the grant comes through, we're gonna give the money back to the idea. Total we should have everything back to the IDAs within NO more than twelve months. Well, max. The big thing is, is that as soon as we start getting the money in, our big purchases are. 122 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:32:34.739 --> 00:33:01.459 Equipment, the virtual reality goggles and all the equipment to get into the schools and then the immersion room. All of that will be ordered here probably in September or October, and I can do drawdowns the way the grants are written up. So I'll have drawdowns coming here within the next probably three months coming back towards us, which means then we can repay anybody who helps us out in these situations. Does that answer your question? 123 "Linda romano" (3271358720) 00:33:02.772 --> 00:33:03.652 Okay. 124 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:33:03.744 --> 00:33:10.543 Kinda. Kind of. So I know there's a couple other counties, like Montgomery, they're running it through the CIC. 125 "Linda romano" (3271358720) 00:33:13.110 --> 00:33:21.270 I'm not sure. And I think we would run it if if the board was inclined to do this I think we would run it through the LDC. 126 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:33:21.552 --> 00:33:25.672 And however, however it works, I will make sure that. 127 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:33:25.810 --> 00:33:42.650 That, whatever you guys bring forward, you know, as far as how you'd like it done is great. I'm just really trying to be creative and help this, you know, Mohawk Valley project happen, because workforce and training grants are not normally esds. 128 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:33:44.599 --> 00:34:01.119 Porte, the, a lot of the projects that were funded under Mohawk Valley and powers are kind of at a little bit of a standstill. You know, they're very slow moving because we were all forced to do the MWBE. 129 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:34:01.819 --> 00:34:26.379 I just used my government brain and said yes colonel, what do you need? I'll Yes is my answer. I don't get a NO. Jack's fully aware of, how I work and how I roll, and it's just like, ok, I can't fight it. I gotta make it work. And so far it's been amazingly easy when I stay in that brain. If I go to a civilian brain, then it hurts me and then I just want to bang my head against the. 130 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:34:26.631 --> 00:34:26.831 Well. 131 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:34:28.786 --> 00:34:34.186 So, like I said, the project. I'll ask this group here. 132 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:34:34.191 --> 00:34:56.591 Now is this something that we would, you know, want to or we would end up having to take and transfer money over to the UCDC? Well, I I I'd suggest you make a recommendation to do that and structure it. Right so we have something to look at and you can authorize it subject to council. 133 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:34:57.079 --> 00:34:57.239 Yeah. 134 "Linda romano" (3271358720) 00:34:59.751 --> 00:35:05.910 Hang on, you have to have idea can't authorize it on behalf of the LDC. The LDC will. 135 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:35:06.926 --> 00:35:07.006 Right. 136 "Linda romano" (3271358720) 00:35:09.672 --> 00:35:32.032 It's the same board. So I think the most you can expect here today is an indication of whether you think the LDC board, which is the same people, but it's a different entity, whether they would be interested in entertaining something like this, subject as Laura said to council review. And then and then Jack, what you'd have to do is call an LDC meeting. 137 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:35:32.365 --> 00:35:32.445 Yeah. 138 "Linda romano" (3271358720) 00:35:33.930 --> 00:35:46.289 And yeah, you, you gotta notice provision and all of that for that. So I guess at this point, you it would just be an indication of interest if you want to take that next step and, and, and turn this to the LDC. 139 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:35:47.253 --> 00:35:48.573 How much money are you looking for. 140 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:35:49.192 --> 00:36:06.472 So what we're asking is, and we'll take anything, but we were asked, we were going to all the I IDAs or organizations and saying 75000 each would cover us and cover the whole project. We can pay all of it out, and like I said, we can have everybody paid back within approximately a year. 141 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:36:08.506 --> 00:36:10.186 You approach to my accountant. 142 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:36:10.248 --> 00:36:38.248 Idea? Yes, I have a meeting with them on 4 September, and I've heard positive things, of course, but NO answers but so far Fulton County's in Montcomery County is, a tentative yes waiting on next week. Scarery County's in and Herkammer County's meeting, I believe next week. I have to look at the. 143 "Linda romano" (3271358720) 00:36:38.465 --> 00:36:46.025 Paid again. You don't you don't have any none of the other counties in Mohawk Valley have two ideas. Is that correct? 144 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:36:46.993 --> 00:36:47.952 Correct. So. 145 "Linda romano" (3271358720) 00:36:48.530 --> 00:36:59.970 So a night of County/Udica would be the largest contributor jointly because you're asking for 705a piece. 146 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:37:00.415 --> 00:37:19.495 And, and you're a much smaller idea, so if there was a lower number, I'm ok with that also. I really wanted to make sure I put it out there because the equipment and the people in your region and the things that you're doing are going to be targeted as far as for some of these projects. 147 "Linda romano" (3271358720) 00:37:20.170 --> 00:37:41.490 Right, right. No, all I'm saying is if each county on a standalone basis, I would take the city of Eudica and a night of county, combine it and get 50 % from each one of them. That, that way it's a more fair contribution if, if, if they want to do anything. So I would just put that out there. Yep. Yeah. 148 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:37:41.779 --> 00:37:47.618 And I'm open to anything. I'm trying to be creative and think outside the box. 149 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:37:48.733 --> 00:37:55.772 Jack, why don't you reach out to Sean Papel Or to have that conversation. Okay. 150 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:37:57.711 --> 00:38:06.591 And I appreciate just the listen, but also know one way or the other I'm gonna make it I'm gonna figure it out and make it work, and it'll be coming to your area. So. 151 "Linda romano" (3271358720) 00:38:08.508 --> 00:38:09.948 It sounds like a great project, but. 152 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:38:10.226 --> 00:38:14.346 Yeah. Yeah, but we there are wickets that we have to work through and i'm aware, miss Linda. 153 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:38:17.787 --> 00:38:27.147 So whatever Jack tells me he wants me to do I'll make it happen. What was the total amount then that you're looking for for the overall 500. 154 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:38:27.272 --> 00:38:30.432 Or something? Yes, the total grand is 549000. 155 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:38:34.453 --> 00:38:38.893 So you're gonna reach out to Shana. Schedule meetings, yeah. 156 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:38:40.090 --> 00:38:42.930 Jack Tim's been working it on the front end. 157 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:38:44.453 --> 00:38:47.173 Okay, good. Right. 158 "Ken Adamczyk/FCCRG" (1224243456) 00:38:47.772 --> 00:38:50.653 But, but I appreciate the time. It was a pleasure meeting all of you. 159 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:38:51.808 --> 00:39:06.128 You too. Interesting project. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. We'll talk to you soon Ken. Thank you. Take something like this to get funded by education department. Yeah. 160 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:39:07.640 --> 00:39:26.039 School district wonder where they are that's not alone. It Seems like a lot of the day. I always get worried well, we'll take whatever you can give us a half. 161 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:39:27.319 --> 00:39:48.920 I'll make it work. Is Anthony around? Yeah, please just call me. Is it interesting although I think a little early. I was gonna say I've got an 8th grader and that made my heart sink to hear that they're going to encourage to choose a path that young. Yeah. 162 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:39:49.810 --> 00:40:17.410 Show them options of what's out there. Oh ****. So 08:30 in the morning is I mean 08:30 is 08:30 in the morning. Yes. I gotcha. Sorry about that. I'm 30 at night. I was with Kevin Use last night and Jerry and everybody and like saying It's 30 at night and not Jerry's gone I don't think so. It's 08:30 in the morning. Oh, I'm ready. I mean pretty much ready. 163 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:40:17.980 --> 00:40:45.939 So this is Anthony Moraleigh. Yeah I'm Anthony Moraleigh. How are you? He's an architect and working with Kevin Hughes. My on the part on the project. So if you're familiar with the how Sun building or Dunlock building on the corner of Eary and Ariscony Bowlgard or is it maybe it's white Spiral There's Borough Street and right on the point there. The building has been empty for quite a number of years. It's gone through a number of different owners. 164 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:40:46.880 --> 00:41:04.240 There was a company out of Buffalo that came along and basically stripped out all the metal and all the equipment and everything just left the building and just kind of left it for dead. So Anthony is looking to rebuttlize it with condo units in the building along with some amenities and. 165 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:41:05.450 --> 00:41:24.730 It is in, it is subdivided into three different parcels. I believe one is the tower is looking to have a potential hotel operating there and out of his own, not of his own doings but finding a partner to work with. 166 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:41:25.210 --> 00:41:45.850 So Anthony if you can just kind of lay out your project and yeah that this is the parcel. So this is our piece right in here and we have a separate, we put a separate tax lot, and this is what I call the hotel parcel. This is the tower that you see right now. This is a riskening. 167 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:41:46.200 --> 00:42:02.399 And this is why It's street. The building goes from here, the little all the way down to here is 6th story building, which was like the form of bomb shelter. So this piece probably is gonna be put together as one for future hotel. 168 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:42:02.970 --> 00:42:22.249 The whole thing. And that's what we're speaking to right now, but right now I own with Kevin use this parcel, where we're doing with work loft departments. So we're doing 35 loft work apartments, and then I have indoor parking for about 70 to 80 cars. 169 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:42:22.970 --> 00:42:44.530 So it's gonna be a temper heated garage and then I have a many of these like a food court and maybe a restaurant or some small retail and stuff like that. And that's basically, there'll be more landscaping on the outside with decorative lighting. I'm putting a fence up here with landscaping and I'm working out on the landscaping plan as we speak. Is it the you all over here? 170 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:42:45.220 --> 00:43:02.140 And there's an easement going through and I think there's a future, they're thinking about a future bike path going down here, maybe we'll allow even through our easement for a crossthrough for that later on, just to have accessibility. There's a memorial part here. 171 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:43:03.080 --> 00:43:20.119 The purple Heart memorial Park and then there's another park over here. So, we have a court yard in here which I'm gonna decorate so we're gonna have like coffee and cafe in the courtyard. And hopefully this hotel comes through soon. 172 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:43:20.820 --> 00:43:40.660 And it'll be nice. The hotel, I did a layout for them, one of the layouts is to create courtyards in the center for light and air. That's a different developer. Yeah, it's a different developer. This this right here, yeah, this is a total different developer. This is where I am from what Kevin Hughes right here. But because we spent so much money. 173 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:43:40.900 --> 00:44:08.580 Already on this. For remediation upgrades, there was an environmental remediation that causes like a hundred and 50000 with eyes and back monitoring air for about three months. The previous people that came in here did a sloppy job of trying to clean up and they got violations from DEC, environmental and online, we came in and we had to do a major cleanup for about a year, almost, you know, on and out to a year. 174 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:44:09.960 --> 00:44:29.960 But we did it and we had air monitors every day and encapsulation every day and we got rid of it to the special bump that's all, you know, whatever it is best as. Yeah mainly as best as here. We had limited there was NO web based paint, but whatever was there, we've that. 175 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:44:30.040 --> 00:44:52.720 All places samplested, all the columns have been samplested. We're doing all metal framing. We did a new sprinkler system, new water pipe system, and we're doing a new electric system. The electric is a little bit of a nightmare with the grid because this big pavilion thing has been discontinued, but we want it going and it's been taking about two years to get it done and hopefully. 176 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:44:53.450 --> 00:45:08.129 It's not even active. Kids go up there and they ripping things down and, and we just want it gone. I mean you know and also we had a problem, some issues with. 177 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:45:09.180 --> 00:45:23.180 I don't know I don't wanna I'm not saying nothing, but maybe the guy courses the street or some kids are local, but we've had breakings over the time and where now we had security, we had a couple of calls and we caught them on camera and stuff like that. I had one kid, I mean the mother begged me. 178 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:45:24.840 --> 00:45:44.600 Not to press charges, so I had him do a community work. I said find the church, go do some landscaping for the church and I don't want you in my building, but if you want to cut the grass or something like that, and mother said thanks you know, I mean I said, you know, putting you know hurting the kids not gonna help or making me if he could do something good. 179 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:45:44.640 --> 00:46:09.680 For the community will, and so, you know, the things that I've gone through on the building is interesting then I finally got financing looks like we're, you know, right now everything's been out of our pocket. We're looking to get an elevator upgrade with Shindler, like a hundred and $80000 item. My electric equipment was around $200000 new equipment. My plumbing equipment was. 180 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:46:09.910 --> 00:46:32.029 Another hundred and 50 to 200000 just you know already you know like what we have on the windows, energy efficient windows triple glazed because the windows are 12 ft high, so they have to be a special frame. You putting he pumps. Oh yeah, I have old split system. I'm doing R 50 in the ceiling. It's. 181 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:46:32.320 --> 00:47:05.639 Isolation value are 50 and and also I'm doing all split system heat pumps for all 35 units. There's NO gas for all units, so it's just a split system heat pump for the hot water and the split system heat pump for HVAC and and heat. So it's gonna be the only place I use gas is on the ground floor for the heating of the garage. Couple of modeline here is just a temper the air to 5055 degrees so that. 182 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:47:05.910 --> 00:47:22.109 I just the idea of this parking garage is something similar to what I've done in New York city. I'm an architect also Pride Institute. So I've done a lot of conversions of historical buildings. 183 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:47:22.930 --> 00:47:37.489 Like major historical buildings. 55 Wall Street was a type two federal landmark. It was the 1st Americantile exchange of the United States, 1st national Bank of the United States built in 1800. 184 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:47:38.780 --> 00:47:53.700 30 and I renovated that whole building into what is now condos and apartments at a and an event space. Yeah. 185 "Linda romano" (3271358720) 00:47:55.012 --> 00:48:09.293 So your application states that you're gonna be creating five other jobs and you indicate that they're gonna come from whoever occupies the 5000 sq ft of commercial. 186 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:48:09.548 --> 00:48:14.588 Space. I increased the commercial space to about $15000. 187 "Linda romano" (3271358720) 00:48:15.287 --> 00:48:20.687 Okay, but do you know who it is and where did you come up with five job I mean, how do you if you don't know. 188 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:48:20.887 --> 00:48:44.047 Who's going in there? Well, I mean, I I do have some temporary leases with like some coffee people, but like Heidelderg Bankery maybe interested. Udica Bakery maybe interested, you know, I'm reaching and that's just a small portion because the food court will have maybe ten different companies inside. One guy doing. 189 "Linda romano" (3271358720) 00:48:44.964 --> 00:48:46.085 That's where you're getting history. 190 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:48:46.752 --> 00:49:11.552 That's where I'm getting my jobs from multifunctional spaces, not just a single tenant, but maybe ten tenants within the twelve to 15000 sq ft. Plus my parking is gonna be ballet parking. So I'm gonna have like when a lady pulls in, it's a middle one that's talk one of the doctors was talking to the hospital. The ballet will help her with the car and park the car inside and then help her with. 191 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:49:11.570 --> 00:49:33.490 The packages to go upstairs. So there's gonna be it's a multifunctional garage. The hotel next door because they're not planning on indoor garage is now saying that we would want to use your we need at least 50 cars out of your 80 to have like, you know, for a special VIP and people like that. So we want to participate in your indoor garage. 192 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:49:34.269 --> 00:49:54.070 And then I also, you know, when I reached out to the hospital because I had to lot in the back for a hundred and 30 cars. So most of the heavy like limacines or buses that come in, the park will have parking in the backlog on your field. So between the parking jobs created and the mini tenants like an ealy. 193 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:49:54.429 --> 00:50:15.150 Food court. Are you familiar with Italy? Yep. Yeah, you know, they have multi like stations, there's a bakery. There's a little road ticery, there's a quality station, there's this. So everybody it's it becomes even affordable for these people because they each one guy has 500 sq ft, another guy has a thousand square feet, another guy's 500, so they become little affordable rents within the. 194 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:50:16.179 --> 00:50:35.620 Guy maybe paying a thousand dollars a month, $500 a month. They could share in one like storage freezer boxes. So it's it's a multi use facility. And then we also have the fitness center, not the fitness, you know, fitness small fitness gym. 195 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:50:36.190 --> 00:50:50.829 And, and on the individual floors will be a lounge for, you know, if a person's gonna have like a small event for their children or birthday party or something like that. And then also I have. 196 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:50:51.900 --> 00:51:07.059 Separate, storage units for each individual apartment or or people. So if they want a storage facility inside for Christmas or storage, they have a separate storage facility. So yes. 197 "jspaeth@cityofutica.com" (3699619840) 00:51:10.380 --> 00:51:28.940 Are there any questions for Anthony? Any questions?
