Mohawk Valley EDGE (Economic Development Growth Enterprises Corporation)

The Oneida-Herkimer County area, the Mohawk Valley Region, has a public-private agency directing Albany and County funding towards economic development projects. The agency (known locally as EDGE, or MV EDGE), its staff, and board of directors have been directing projects like the Rome Air Base and Utica/Marcy Nano.

This group is fully behind, devising, planning and promoting the ill-conceived Downtown Utica hospital.

As of October 15, 2016 Mohawk Valley EDGE Is Seeking $5.5 million to displace 41 businesses...


October 2017 - Oneida County moves $250,000 into the MVEDGE budget for supporting a downtown hospital...

See pages 29-30 of Oneida County Communications, October 11, 2017


Get to know the following 56 Board Members from our community. In the days ahead we'll pinpoint where they live, how many meetings they attended, as well as requesting their personal statements on just what they are thinking; as their "public-private partnership" pushes forth the ill-conceived hospital concept.

Months ago we requested information and recieved this reply MVEDGE Has No Plans To Release Information This seems highly undemocratic as they are not only directing more than $300 million of taxpayer funding towards the hospital project, each year "we the people" fund their very sizable budget

As part of the above organization, each one has a hand - directly or indirectly - in Seeking Funds To Bulldoze Downtown Utica For A 5th Hospital District Listed below, they can be reached by using the information displayed (new info in progress).

Consider calling them and or their places of employment. You may also "send a message" by terminating, and or not frequenting their establishments or products, as a way to voice your discontent.

May 11, 2016 - Use Our Money (Lots of Our Money), Then Withhold Information! The MVHS Board of Directors worked with Mohawk Valley EDGE on their current Downtown Utica hospital project per the image link that follows...

However, this past week we learned that the planning information is not available to residents and taxpayers who have questions. This per their President, Mr Steven DiMeo "EDGE is a private, New York not-for-profit corporation... EDGE has no plans to search files for the records which you seek..."

Meanwhile nearly all of Mohawk Valley EDGE's $5,000,000+ dollar budget comes from New York State taxpayers.

Interestingly, the CEO of the Mohawk Valley Health System, Mr Scott Perra, also sits on the Mohawk Valley EDGE's Board of Directors. This maybe be all-good-and-well, however just don't ask questions about funding, the hospital concept, etc. as these leaders have our very best interests at hand, right?


Join Us:            


Another group that requests and directs funding to build this ill-conceived hospital is the Mohawk Valley Regional Economic Development Council They're "Pro-Downtown Hospital" and need to hear of your displeasure!



No Studies, No Reports, thus we remain #NoHospitalDowntown
