Oneonta Mayor Gary Herzig is set to deliver his State of the City address Tuesday night. It’s a busy time for the Otsego County city, with college students set to return in the coming days, a new police chief to hire, and ongoing concerns around COVID-19. Herzig, a Democrat, is now in his sixth year as mayor. He spoke with WAMC’s Jesse King.
First and foremost: what is the state of the city?
You know, we ve been through a tough year, just like everybody across the country, across the world has been. We had an initial shutdown in the spring, then followed by a large outbreak at SUNY Oneonta in the fall, and of course now, like everybody else, we re facing increasing numbers with the second wave. But despite that, I would have to say that the state of the city of Oneonta is one of strength, and one of resilience. We have come through this because the people of the city have come together to support one another and support our business community.
