City honored by NYCOM and Empire State Report
NORWICH – City officials were given the spotlight during the New York State Conference of Mayors 25th Annual Local Government Achievement Awards earlier this month, when they were granted second place in the economic development category of the program.
The city was recognized by NYCOM and Empire State Report magazine for its collaborative work with the DCMO BOCES Carpentry and Building Construction Program in rehabilitating a burned out property at 49 Front St. Since 2010, BOCES students have undertaken the construction of a new house on the property as a learning project while the city has been footing the bill for building materials, along with any specialized services needed throughout the process.
“The city of Norwich is to be commended for this excellent project,” said NYCOM President William Nelson. “This award recognizes that local officials are working diligently to improve their communities and the quality of life for their residents in efficient and innovative ways. I would like to congratulate Mayor Maiurano for a job well done.”
The project has proven beneficial for both students and the city, according to City Mayor Joseph Maiurano. As the city saves on the expense of labor provided by students, the students are developing problem solving skills, as well learning to follow written and verbal directions, all while building a two story home – an option not often available in the BOCES program. It’s been a win-win arrangement, he said.
The recognition is good publicity for the city, Maiurano said. To be awarded second place in an organization comprised of 582 cities and villages statewide is a real honor, he said.
“It really gets our name out there. Hopefully, people will begin to see Norwich for doing some pretty amazing things.”
Plans are to complete the house and have a sales strategy in place by the end of the year.
