June 1, 2005: Operation Oswego
County Wins Statewide Awards
Operation Oswego County (OOC) was recently
recognized with three awards for New York State Economic Development
Council’s (NYSEDC) 2005 marketing and promotional materials
award competition.
OOC’s print advertisement for the “Power
for Progress” low-cost electrical energy program for new and
expanding businesses in Oswego County was awarded NYSEDC’s
top honor of “best in class.” The ad was created by
OOC and Steve Chirello Advertising to attract new business and create
jobs using low-cost power produced by Entergy Nuclear Northeast
at the James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant in Scriba.
Also honored with “Certificate of Excellence”
was OOC’s website www.oswegocounty.org. The 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.
For its brochure titled “Here, Turnover
is a Good Thing,” OOC was awarded an honorable mention. The
publication was designed by Steve Chirello Advertising to showcase
OOC’s two small business incubator facilities, the Start-up
Facility (SUF) in the Oswego County Industrial Park in Phoenix,
and the Oswego County Business Expansion Center (BEC) in the city
of Oswego.
The recognitions are awarded each year to
NYSEDC member organizations throughout New York State who produce
printed materials and Internet media to promote economic development
in their areas. The award competition review panel included Rob
Duchow of Mohawk Valley EDGE, Rob Conrad of Mark Russell and Associates,
Michele Desrosiers of Eric Mower & Associates and Todd Lang
of Development Counsellors International.
OOC has won several awards in past years
for the effectiveness and quality of its advertising and promotional
materials from NYSEDC and other regional and national professional
development organizations.
“The NYSEDC marketing and promotional
materials award competition recognizes 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 New York State,” said L. Michael
Treadwell, CEcD, executive director of OOC.
