\"Originally, I thought what we needed to do was to bring more septic players in. But the truth is the bottleneck is what to do with the waste that they pump out of a septic tank,\" the EDC representative said. The concept discussed is a private operator that would receive pumped septage, perform pretreatment or staging, and then transfer pretreated material to treatment plants on a schedule that fits plant capacity.

The EDC representative said the approach is early-stage: the Development Authority has drafted a business plan and the LDC has set aside initial operating capital to support a pilot if a viable operator emerges. He added the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) has raised legal and regulatory questions about transporting and pretreating septage outside certain basins.

\"I don't know if this is gonna be successful or not. Quite honestly, DEC looked at me and said, that'd be great if you could do it, but I'm not even sure it's legal,\" the EDC representative said. Staff noted Amsterdam currently functions as a regional receiver and that costs to pump tanks and to transport septage have risen recently.

Committee members discussed regional capacity and cost pressures; staff recommended continuing to explore whether a private operator could be licensed and financially viable, and to coordinate with DEC and regional wastewater operators before moving to any pilot or procurement.

No formal action was taken; the matter remains exploratory.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Warren County 05/22/2025 Committee Meetings - Economic Growth & Dev","oneSentenceSummary","EDC staff described May 22 exploratory work on a proposed private 'middleman' business to pretreat pumped septic waste to ease capacity constraints for treatment plants and to support compliance with new septic inspection legislation; state DEC raised legal questions.","taxTitle","Warren County, New York","taxId",5049,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6226469,"EDC says Angio retention averts larger job loss; Queensbury partnership, craft beverage growth noted",0,1588000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3507441-ca5f1e98300801811f6482030ddbeede&start=1588&end=1588","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3507441-ca5f1e98300801811f6482030ddbeede/thumbnail_1588000.jpg","/articles/6226469/Warren-County/New-York/EDC-says-Angio-retention-averts-larger-job-loss-Queensbury-partnership-craft-beverage-growth-noted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6226469-2a0e503408b43abe557234196d7fafa5/orig.mp4?Expires=1773607979&Signature=IV1jm7XJBzkK0FLq75rppNtV4I-NMYLJ2CgfaUPfyNZCD9ebG2za31AXNF1gwfXJ1DFjjV695585wFfnSFetZGDa0peD5q5A6ExlBXjzEUHUHBuUvVL1p0Tu9EvnjczpxBfqbMYxf3Zczdv-tfBTI~foyXobp~i9eEY2aJWwJL~fonBXlOq-yT8fISSFGH0HWJTER2euh79w44rp1GXx-UDgzH4qlfUB9ky5Rn9VF52gYijq0tJD0jF9S3FYRCT2wwrkzd9CYfGL8ixv1ZPbTPYufHsAzok7S8uYjifi70E3Lk9T3gGER701gmKg3SubuCjKGYqzwd4DaUDHEdZCHQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","An Economic Development representative told the Warren County Economic Growth and Development Committee on May 22 that Angio — a long-standing local employer — would continue operations in the area and retain about 150 employees, creating a substantial local economic effect.

\"There is no commitment for how long they will be here, but there is also no plan for them to leave,\" the EDC representative said. The office estimated the company's payroll at nearly $10,000,000 and described a broader economic impact of roughly $20,000,000 when multiplier effects are included.

The EDC representative described Angio as a legacy employer undergoing business model changes, noting that some legacy product lines have passed through their intellectual-property phase. The continued local presence, the representative said, reduced what had been a near-term prospect of large job losses and represents a retention success for county and town partners.

Staff also updated the committee on the EDC's evolving service agreement with the town of Queensbury. The EDC representative said a multi-year agreement now defines a renewed scope and a lower dollar figure than historical levels; under the new agreement the EDC is providing services targeted to Queensbury's current priorities, including advocacy, planning support and assistance with infrastructure projects such as Route 9 corridor work.

Economic-development staff reported renewed interest in the Queensbury Business Park (county and EDC-owned real estate across from the airport) and a lot sale that is under development. The committee was told F.W. Webb's Corinth Road site is advancing through site-plan review and is expected to create roughly 30 jobs, including relocations from existing local operations.

The EDC representative also summarized craft beverage industry data shared with the board: the local craft beverage sector (breweries, distilleries, wineries) supports jobs and community gathering points. The representative said Empire State Development statistics showed \"more than $20,000,000 and 102 jobs\" attributed to the local craft beverage industry.

Discussion vs. action: the committee received the report; no formal vote was taken on these economic-retention matters at the May 22 meeting.","Economic development staff reported May 22 that Angio will retain roughly 150 employees locally, producing an estimated $10 million in payroll and about $20 million in local economic impact; staff also described strengthened services to Queensbury, rising interest in the county's business park and growth in the craft beverage sector.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6226474,"EDC schedules Empire State Development workshop as CFA deadline returns to July; new 'transformational' program noted",79,475000,554000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3507441-ca5f1e98300801811f6482030ddbeede&start=475&end=554","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3507441-ca5f1e98300801811f6482030ddbeede/thumbnail_475000.jpg","/articles/6226474/Warren-County/New-York/EDC-schedules-Empire-State-Development-workshop-as-CFA-deadline-returns-to-July-new-transformational-program-noted","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6226474-1c3e9a6201c6608af1e4799363bfe13b/orig.mp4?Expires=1773607979&Signature=AOGjEvMMPzLVrthDk7gEEbljwBStS0wF4SsJGpaMsH4H9-ui8VKMrxob5bp5EojjDsZ6RFMI2FGimUy0L00t1aNJyIIUNWpSREC6W94QB~RWd~QaIyBoHynm6GfJhZhzh8Ub25nDy86SYFDQ4YBUCmM1gkGb5b7Dnzmmk0VyGNd7IQnoJ0qNkRn9NAYsmL1MYeBMy~uR9yUKpzwWKI4CAkDodtjFUPyvhAWu3e~VLUL3iXOczV67OsUkW6dCWRAqTOjFtdPLh~75IXKWUOHrL2osxY2IM~iV3W5gPfFlKRGymHWHcJzPJGheA2twodu2wzpOEmbdgfKBS6dy4v88wA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","An Economic Development representative told the Warren County Economic Growth and Development Committee on May 22 that the office is arranging workshops with Empire State Development to walk municipalities and businesses through this year's Consolidated Funding Application (CFA) and associated programs.

\"They're going back to that this year, which means that the focus between now and the July is really the only opportunity we have to access these grants,\" the EDC representative said, explaining that Empire State Development operated on a rolling application basis during COVID but has reverted to the traditional July deadline for many programs this year.

EDC staff said they expect to schedule at least two sessions — one for municipalities and one for businesses — tentatively in the first week of June and that Empire State Development will present program details and application guidance. The EDC representative said staff will help interested parties understand eligibility and begin navigating applications.

The EDC representative also described a newly announced, competitive state program intended for larger \"transformational\" projects that could complement or supplant the traditional Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) process. \"I would think of this as a moonshot oriented kind of opportunity and an open competition where there won't necessarily be a quota,\" the EDC representative said. Details remain limited and staff said they will share specifics as they become available.

Committee members were asked to review related planning documents — including the Adirondack Gateway safety action plan and the county's outdoor recreation strategic plan — because those plans will inform grant targeting for the CFA round. The EDC representative said the office will likely return to the committee requesting formal approval to submit particular grant applications.

Discussion only: no committee vote was taken on grant submissions at this meeting; staff signaled a likely future request for committee approval tied to specific grant applications.","The county's EDC told the Economic Growth and Development Committee on May 22 it is working to host Empire State Development for a workshop on the Consolidated Funding Application and other state programs, and said the state is launching a new competitive program that could replace or complement the DRI process.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6226478,"Warren County advances 2025 housing strategy; task force, technical assistance and outreach underway",742,55000,797000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3507441-ca5f1e98300801811f6482030ddbeede&start=55&end=797","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3507441-ca5f1e98300801811f6482030ddbeede/thumbnail_55000.jpg","/articles/6226478/Warren-County/New-York/Warren-County-advances-2025-housing-strategy-task-force-technical-assistance-and-outreach-underway","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6226478-9cddb4a774675a8e832e5b40573f69e3/orig.mp4?Expires=1773607979&Signature=hM0FSWR6fgl7y3hrdCoCeliCEQ3s2S5v~6OggJD9vPi0aR-YUiXpMUEnoEqi9Y3YqcP2nMJTTFePhlnJ9mEq48VReTAx6GbAaxoRnrX~A2wKhtcmrSID8Y4UQKOQ2m0BTIPH95saB~LU6HUSxIwgmbDrfxGftLnUtLuXpxowQlIizabqcdeZrGExTI1EZqUm2at4y-M6w-VeOtMQi04PdIMPgzDfzcErECalYRygszH9-yur2su5iYvbhkkC2P7qgZkbh1asWQrCspbRN4n48VevLlkNbjLqP2wp4~ldiarkumqk4Uc0EjaxXX40PRHddCu9yS05T4Ng3wwiwDg4WA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ethan, a Warren County planning staff member, told the Economic Growth and Development Committee on May 22 that the county's 2025 housing strategy is in active implementation and is built around three linked components: a housing task force, technical assistance and education and outreach.

The plan \"falls in the housing strategy of our 3 pronged approach this year,\" Ethan said, noting the task force was convened in April and that meeting notes and next steps have been circulated. He said materials from the group's work are posted online and that another task force meeting is anticipated in July.

The technical-assistance strand has included planning and zoning workshops \"with board members and then also more technical workshops with actual staff involved in the development review process,\" Ethan said. He added the county's \"thriving hamlets\" project is conducting deep dives into downtowns across Adirondack communities to identify infill and infrastructure opportunities that would support more housing.

Ethan said the third strand — education and outreach — will include an issue-awareness campaign for the general public, elected officials and policymakers. \"We want to put more of a human face onto the topic of the housing crisis,\" he said, offering examples the outreach might highlight such as volunteer firefighters and teachers struggling to find housing in the county.

Speakers representing economic development also described exploratory meetings with private housing providers in recent weeks. An EDC representative said three types of developer interest have emerged: a senior-housing provider considering market entry, an entity proposing rehabilitation of distressed or \"zombie\" properties (with possible early work in Glens Falls), and a developer offering models for townhomes, condominiums, planned-unit developments and single-story transitional housing.

The EDC representative said the developers \"had a copy of that housing study in their hand when they came to see us\" and see the study as both a market signal and a planning tool. County staff said they will bring developers to local communities for further vetting as these exploratory conversations move toward potential projects.

Discussion only: committee members and staff raised no formal motions tied to the housing update during the meeting. Staff said they will return with materials and, where necessary, requests for committee approvals tied to particular grant applications or project-level actions.

Why it matters: committee members were urged to review the posted materials and to prepare for outreach and potential project proposals tied to the county's housing priorities.","County planning staff and the EDC reported May 22 that Warren County's 2025 housing strategy is moving forward with a housing task force, technical assistance to development reviewers, downtown 'thriving hamlets' work and outreach to attract developers and residents.","actionData","errors"]
