The North Shore Council of Governments (NorCOG) is working on a plan to promote economic growth by identifying and leveraging opportunities offered by our location on Oneida Lake and near the Micron project, as well as challenges that could hold that back. NorCOG is looking to determine ambitious and achievable transformative goals. This plan will be used as a guide for municipalities, partners, and future development projects in the community.

NorCOG has engaged MRB Group from Rochester, NY to help in this. They are conducting economic and market analyses, assessing the current condition of the NorCOG region, and gathering input from local stakeholders. The ultimate goal is to better understand the wants, needs, and challenges of the community so that the Economic Recovery and Resiliency Plan can best facilitate sustainable and beneficial development activity.

Residents and businesses can complete one of the surveys available on the “Economic Resiliency and Recovery Plan” project page on the www.norcog.org website. Paper copies of the surveys are also available at the Cleveland village hall, and may be dropped off there through January 2, 2024.
