May 12, 2005: OOC Receives Marketing
Grant from Entergy
Operation Oswego County (OOC) was awarded
a $4,500 grant from Entergy Nuclear Northeast’s Charitable
Foundation for the development of a new promotional display which
will highlight quality of life in Oswego County, as well as the
economic development services and programs offered by OOC.
The four-color table top display includes
a laptop computer which will allow booth representatives to show
digital presentations about business development and quality of
life in Oswego County, present customized Power Point presentations
and offer booth visitors real time access to the Internet and OOC’s
comprehensive website.
OOC communicates incentives and initiatives to existing and prospective
business through local and regional promotion and advertising, by
utilizing collateral material, and through direct marketing to site
selection consultants at trade shows and industry-specific events.
“Industry specific and other economic
development related trade shows are an excellent opportunity to
promote Oswego County’s economic resources to a captive audience
of industry executives, investors and site selection consultants
that may possibly be outgrowing their current manufacturing facilities
or are finding it necessary to expand into new regions to better
serve their markets,” said L. Michael Treadwell, CEcD, OOC
executive director.
“With the help of Entergy, our new
display will be used to assist our efforts to attract new and expanding
businesses which contribute to the economic health of Oswego County,
provide new and increased job opportunities and add to the variety
of products and services available to county residents. We appreciate
Entergy’s commitment and continued partnership in fostering
economic development in Oswego County.”
The Entergy Charitable Foundation is a private
foundation dedicated to supporting charitable organizations in the
diverse communities where Entergy customers and employees live and
work. The Foundation's goal is to support initiatives that help
create and sustain thriving communities.

development corporation whose mission is to establish and implement
economic development strategies to enhance the economic vitality
of Oswego County’s businesses and citizens. Since its inception,
