Oct. 13, 2004: Operation Oswego County Wins Website Award

OSWEGO, NY-- The Northeastern Economic Developers Association (NEDA) recently recognized Operation Oswego County (OOC) with an award of excellence for its economic development website www.oswegocounty.org.

The recognitions are awarded each year to economic development organizations throughout the northeastern United States who produce printed materials and Internet media to promote economic development in their areas. OOC has won several awards in past years for the effectiveness of its promotional materials from NEDA and other regional and national professional development organizations. Entries are judged by a panel of experienced economic development and marketing professionals and are determined based on design and layout, clarity of message, quality, functionality and overall creativity and impact.

The agency’s website offers visitors a comprehensive listing of available commercial property, demographic information about Oswego County, downloadable publications, current news and information about OOC’s economic development services, community links and a printable map. The website receives an average of more than 2,000 visits per month.

“As the usage of the internet as a preliminary site selection tool intensifies, our website has become critical to draw in corporate real estate decision makers in order to recruit new businesses and add new and better job opportunities in Oswego County,” said L. Michael Treadwell, CEcD, executive director of OOC, Oswego County’s designated economic development agency.

“More and more site selection consultants, business decision makers, and individuals rely on the internet to decide where they will invest. We designed our website to effectively convey critical and up-to-date information about Oswego County to this captive audience.”

“The NEDA Literature and Promotion Awards recognize the best and most effective publications in the economic development field. We are proud that our marketing materials have met the test of our economic development colleagues from throughout the northeastern United States,” Treadwell said.

In addition to Internet marketing, OOC aggressively promotes Oswego County’s economic development opportunities by directly targeting prospects through various national, international and regional trade publications and by participating in exhibitions and industry-specific tradeshows.
