Herzig Delivers Oneonta State Of The City

Like most upstate communities, Oneonta has had a rough ride since the end of World War II with the post-manufacturing economy. But the city does have some built-in advantages: a college-based economy with SUNY Oneonta and Hartwick College in town and the Oneonta Railyard. Oneonta Mayor Gary Herzig, a Democrat, gave his State of the City address Tuesday evening, laying out initiatives to boost the local economy and improve the city, including fixing an aging water and sewer system, a problem faced by many cities in the Northeast.
