Evidence
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) has received five (5) Brownfield Cleanup Program (BCP) applications from Turn Hoefler Avenue LLC for sites known as The Remington Site A, The Remington Site B, The Remington Site C, The Remington Site D, and The Remington Site E... These sites are in the Town of German Flatts, in the Village of Ilion, within the County of Herkimer, and are located at 14 Hoefler Avenue.
Summary of Economic Impacts over the Life of the PILOT... Ongoing (Operations) ... Jobs 0 0 0... Project Location 14 Hoefler Ave, Ilion, NY.
Assessments
The promise was to ensure Remington contractual obligations were met, secure a fair deal for employees, and keep the jobs in the Ilion community. The supplied evidence shows the former Remington site was undergoing brownfield cleanup/redevelopment after the plant closure, and the Herkimer County IDA analysis for the site projected zero ongoing operations jobs. That is inconsistent with the core promised outcome of retaining the jobs locally. The evidence suggests Tenney advocated or made efforts around the issue, so effort credit is appropriate, but the promised job-retention outcome was not delivered.
