Have It Both Ways!
Better Hospital, Better Downtown!
Residents of a city can become pretty enamored by the streets, buildings and memories that are created. The most recent example is the Utica Observer-Dispatch's Gone But Not Forgotten Series
A city that honors its historic past, develops its assets, and protects elements making it authentic and unique, can be successful in attracting tourists, residents, and activities that all builds foot traffic. In recent years, Downtown Utica has seen more people seeking to live downtown, this follows efforts by new businesses who have made downtown their home. Business owners purchased buildings at desirable prices, and a great deal of effort went into restoring them. Traffic is building, and Downtown Utica has become a cool place to travel too.
Yet just as these efforts are getting noticed, a large portion of Downtown Utica stands to be bulldozed to make way for a new regional hospital. Very little health-related studies, reports, or site location data has been offered. We've only a heavy-hand push by politicians, so we're seeking to stop a new downtown hospital and preserve this downtown neighborhood for more small scale city developments.
Please contact your representatives and ask them to stop this ill-conceived plan.
October 23, 2015 Utica, NY- This week an area politician mailed #NoHospitalDowntown a note and an article suggesting some reading. Excellent! We love researching healthcare and hospitals- it's exactly why this website exists, as we’re studying the current plan for a new Utica hospital. #NoHospitalDowntown opposes placing a hospital downtown and we’re reading and advocating for a knowledgeable and well-informed process that brings this to fruition.
September 18, 2015 Utica, NY- Look for our ad in Mohawk Valley and Utica publications...
