The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the county’s perseverance through it were the main aspects Tuesday of Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente Jr.’s State of the County address.
In the roughly half-hour address, Picente talked about county-run vaccination sites, mask mandates and honored the memory of the more than 400 county residents who lost their lives due to the pandemic.
Picente further spoke on economic development, the county’s fiscal health and a variety of plans proposed to help the county move forward, powered by federal money from American Rescue Plan funding.
“These last 12 months have been challenging for everyone to say the least,” Picente said. “But through it all, we channeled our history as a people, determined not to let this or any crisis define us. Our goals and vision should not be based on how this pandemic will impact us, but rather how we will continue to invest, build and grow a better Oneida County for generations t
