Economic Impact Assessment (EIA)

---

Reasons to place the hospital into downtown were listed as; downtown's central location, and that the employees would make downtown vibrant. Join the Hospital EIA Conversation on Facebook. They've suggested it would be an Economic Engine.

Hospital first would bulldozes an entire neighborhood 40+ businesses being disrupted, not "a few" or "several"
". New police maintenance garage and parking facility not yet paid for, to be bulldozed? Historic Police Station and new City Courts to be bulldozed?

Hospitals are impervious type facilities, would inhibit connectivity between re-emerging neighborhoods, and also keep their workers inside with; cafeteria, coffee shop, a pizza shop, and many have retail drugstores too. Nurses and doctors don't have time (nor the flexiblity) to leave the facility, work very long shifts and go home, not "out on the town". Utica also has very harsh winters, which will limit any possible foot traffic significantly.

No room to expand, thus would the downtown hospital just eat into other blocks? Is that the development they speak of? Are South Utica and Burrstone-French Road Corridor going to take an economic hit?

New hospital at St. Luke's would create the same temporary construction jobs.

We're looking at the that was suggested in #Emailgate, but which appears not to have been done - unless one counts that offered by Steve DiMeo of MVEDGE? See Steve's work in his secret July 27, 2017, download (PDF) document on this page, MVHS Secret Meeting, July 27, 2017
