The resolution, read into the record by staff, authorized the IDA to: 1) issue a 90-day notice of disposition as required by the Public Authorities Accountability Act; 2) execute a land development agreement with license and exclusive option and other related documents with Amazon.com Services, LLC or an entity formed on its behalf; and 3) adopt a negative declaration under the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA) relating to the project.

Board members moved the resolution and took a roll-call vote. The roll call in the transcript recorded the following affirmative votes: Mike Contando, Warren Roman, Leanne O'Brien, Ted (surname not specified), Mark Harrison, Mike Collins and Marty Chalk. The chair announced the motion passed.

Staff did not read the full land-development agreement text into the record during the public portion of the meeting; the resolution authorized staff to proceed with execution and required the 90-day disposition notice before final disposition as specified by the Public Authorities Accountability Act. The negative declaration adopted by the board indicates staff concluded the proposed disposition and development do not require further environmental review under SEQRA based on materials before the agency.

The resolution does not itself transfer title; it authorizes steps toward disposition, documentation and an option/license arrangement with Amazon or a related entity, and triggers public-notice and compliance steps specified in state law and agency policy.

Board members had no additional substantive discussion recorded in the open session before the roll-call vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Chemung County - Chemung County IDA/CRC","oneSentenceSummary","The IDA adopted a resolution to authorize notice and related agreements for the disposition of property at Sperry Ave/Kayla Road/682 Low Road to Amazon.com Services LLC (or an affiliate), and issued a negative declaration under SEQRA.","taxTitle","Chemung County, New York","taxId",12531,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6484761,"IDA extends option agreement for 1205 Plymouth Ave Arbor senior housing project",89,1394000,1483000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5584436-b62bb6f48a169e8ff073f2afdf8459ae&start=1394&end=1483","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5584436-b62bb6f48a169e8ff073f2afdf8459ae/thumbnail_1394000.jpg","/articles/6484761/Chemung-County/New-York/IDA-extends-option-agreement-for-1205-Plymouth-Ave-Arbor-senior-housing-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6484761-f9a44b1449e6ff635183082ee7a79d2b/orig.mp4?Expires=1775045612&Signature=F83ETjSAorzAn06lV0vzICg6witqeLis1xK9tsYQcuNmPDHEMS7C0eOBGYvf9phL90Gu-TSbOsykI9bxfd5uUg8n9Ne8jveJiFzG3WyJqrXNnIdiaHNs~IKWm8BREo7Gez5~OKXENSA21q5EHVecowOT4cj47xdVu0ol5FZbO4XvvlORlN8mz4T7bz9fSi0D3cEL80jxQYtnSB-90ieY4x2-Y4EfDyJokHOXYDcW9H4EYJKDOgEguTEKus84lsTMB-L~nep0WbrSjHFIeK~LXNQjmOccFR97Cl0AJgnum6O6SNF~UcXX7BOuhAlzJ6vg6o0MErZSiqpU86Uc3wZk2g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Chemung County Industrial Development Agency on Aug. 14 approved a 12-month extension of an option agreement for the Arbor development at 1205 Plymouth Ave, the site of the former Brookside Trailer Park.

Staff reported the developer's first application for New York State low-income housing tax credits was not approved this cycle; the developer ranked fourth and three awards were made. The developer has resubmitted for the fall round and amended its site plan at the state's request, changing from a mix of apartments and townhouse-style units to all-apartment units to strengthen the application.

Staff said the project represents roughly $18,000,000 in investment and would create about 60 units targeted at seniors at 80% area median income. The agency's staff recommended the 12-month option extension to allow the developer time to pursue tax credits and obtain local site-plan amendments.

A motion to approve the extension passed on a roll-call vote. Board members recorded voting in the affirmative included Ian O'Brien, Lauren Roman, Mike Contando, Chuck (surname not specified in the record), Mike Collins and other members who were present; the motion carried.

The extension does not itself authorize funding or a subsidy; it preserves the developer's option to acquire the property for the project while they pursue state tax-credit approval and local site-plan amendments. Staff said the developer had reasonable progress and the agency considered the extension appropriate.

Board members asked no further substantive questions on the motion and moved to executive session after votes on other items.","The Chemung County IDA approved a 12-month extension of an option agreement for the Arbor development at the former Brookside Trailer Park to allow the developer to reapply for low-income housing tax credits and amend its site plan.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6484766,"Chemung County IDA accepts July financials; ratifies $475,871.19 in arena-related payments",182,865000,1047000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5584436-b62bb6f48a169e8ff073f2afdf8459ae&start=865&end=1047","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5584436-b62bb6f48a169e8ff073f2afdf8459ae/thumbnail_865000.jpg","/articles/6484766/Chemung-County/New-York/Chemung-County-IDA-accepts-July-financials-ratifies-47587119-in-arena-related-payments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6484766-ecdadb15a54132ebc97f14b306e21f15/orig.mp4?Expires=1775045612&Signature=Sr0EVZeHUVzGviPBBCNdVomWoSZS7hacYCBc5WPXRHejqbv~eGg1~BwyGW4i8D5cdfWmv6cSqkS23a~9XIk-6vEnY9PGJ5jVnsWKusR2yfQTA9BLrpHR1CEusiZWWjD9WaYf3pJ8Ur-p7bhJqGowPIqQKyAgEFuu8TanzEAAOv9d5ypKAMYOoD7He-ll0ggFNjP3TpuQCck0bfgmvFnP~VfOzY3YueoXHx07RdVz0SNrUcp9PZunWZSQguCvZOIscOufcQO1eRsnWOOUz5uZQIwEXw0svVqGuKiIVtanXAzETn77kk0qt0MkdMgfooTU3vAs2c5pqJDpfTtVaQvDJw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Chemung County Industrial Development Agency voted Aug. 14 to accept its July financial report and to ratify $475,871.19 in previously paid checks related largely to arena operations and repairs.

A staff presenter identified as Tom reviewed the July profit-and-loss for the arena, reporting $145,000 in revenue: $25,000 from rentals from Carrington Aviation and about $118,000 in ARPA receipts. He said expenses included utilities, building repair and maintenance, capital improvements and operations; one insurance line item of $6,500 was highlighted.

Tom said the agency's checking and savings balance was $693,000 and noted an additional $103,000 of ARPA funds held separately from a previously noted $500,000 amount. The board accepted the financial report by voice vote.

The board then ratified checks totaling $475,871.19. The staff summary listed vendors and amounts as follows: Thunder City Productions (intercom) $69,000; FW Webb (ice-plant parts) $73,000; Hunt Engineers (study on 17 Aviation Drive) $14,800; A Greco (temporary chiller rental) $27,000; Gannon Associates (arena insurance) $111,000; Inductronics (lighting/marquee electronics) $45,000; plus other cash needs that brought the total to $475,871.19. A board member asked for an itemized list in the packet; staff said no itemized list was included but offered to provide copies afterwards.

Board members discussed procurement-reimbursement issues: staff said two reimbursement requests were denied because the county procurement policy required three written quotes and the submitted documentation included only one email quote in one instance and only one or two competing quotes in others.

The board discussed remaining arena capital needs. Staff estimated the last significant outstanding work is the ice plant, with the final scope expected to cost less than $100,000. The agency had purchased a temporary chiller for about a one-month period to allow final design and installation; the temporary unit was needed because an earlier-than-expected hockey camp required ice sooner than the permanent plant could be installed.

Board members noted that most operational costs have transferred to Neverman Sports (staff reference) and that the IDA remains responsible for the building for a short transition period. The motion to ratify the checks carried by voice vote.

No new appropriations were approved in the meeting; the board ratified payments already issued and accepted the financial statements for the record.","The IDA approved its July profit-and-loss report, accepted a balance-sheet update showing $693,000 in checking/savings, and ratified $475,871.19 in previously paid checks for arena operations and repairs.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_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},6484771,"Southern Tier Central presents arena economic-impact estimate to Chemung County IDA",0,3494000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5584436-b62bb6f48a169e8ff073f2afdf8459ae&start=3494&end=3494","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5584436-b62bb6f48a169e8ff073f2afdf8459ae/thumbnail_3494000.jpg","/articles/6484771/Chemung-County/New-York/Southern-Tier-Central-presents-arena-economic-impact-estimate-to-Chemung-County-IDA","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6484771-49545a2845febc7a399bf353349d8a52/orig.mp4?Expires=1775045612&Signature=O9pf6ylf5HlDn3xCgepIAjVUqSSGxHidqAoBI2QpvoihM4FT3yN~T18HL4mZgcvwUn6f9bDIhp2s-w3~bppgtNNbu9zf2qRbpvY3ILrFvgVwgvt5f-YxVWpkwS~Exhp~7svQIxiYeFvG7mufEXydVpMNjWbj-3yOkQTkzW~uq3dFuc68ooGndAWOabDUsrubaLRoQXFShAGgLQiLfiLy4bFUhwD3a0U6rThX~OgGJOlnXUCcuKN3QlNTQRgsB67KXuBVyRKBwkZEp57QapMtC9TTNflOBBNoDR6Zfoo2VyhkBS6K2ILbgebZZDLYBjPnfrRacVno6sMKMXSvHIk5WQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Southern Tier Central presented an analysis to the Chemung County Industrial Development Agency on Aug. 14 estimating additional retail and restaurant spending tied to arena events.

The presentation, led by Chelsea, a Southern Tier Central representative, and Victoria, identified in the meeting as the agency's development coordinator, quantified visitor spending and modeled associated tax receipts. Chelsea and Victoria said the analysis combined retail-sales data and Lightcast modeling to estimate incremental economic activity generated by arena visitors in 2024.

The presenters said the model indicated “approximately 388,000 of additional regional of local state and federal tax receipts due to the activity of those visitors,” and that, under an assumed $25 restaurant meal value, visitors contributed about $350,000 in 2020. The presenters noted those figures reflect the scenario modeled and depend on the assumptions used.

Board members thanked the presenters for producing the report without large additional expense and said the paper estimate helps quantify the arena's positives for the local community. One board member said the analysis “puts it on paper, for us.”

Chelsea and Victoria told the IDA the model could be refined if the agency supplied internal data — for example, more detailed local sales or arena incident data — and they offered to run further modeling if additional inputs were provided.

Victoria said Southern Tier Central and affiliated analysts had produced similar reports for other counties and encouraged the IDA to supply any internal sales or cost data to improve the estimates.

The presentation generated no formal action by the IDA; the board accepted the report and moved on to other agenda items.

The IDA did not adopt the report as policy and did not vote on funding for further modeling during the meeting. Staff and Southern Tier Central discussed next steps for adding internal data to the model so future estimates could be more precise.","Southern Tier Central presented retail and visitor-spending modeling that estimates increased local retail and restaurant spending tied to arena events, and recommended additional data to refine the analysis.","actionData","errors"]
