GLOVERSVILLE The Fulton County Center for Regional Growth is marketing the county in a national publication, the agency’s board of directors heard Friday.
“The Business Facilities Magazine came out,” Ken Adamczyk, CRG economic development specialist, told the board during his membership and marketing report.
Adamczyk said the magazine is a national site selectors’ periodical that goes out to hundreds of thousands of readers.
“We have this ad in the magazine,” he showed the board, as well as an article about the Tryon Technology Park in Perth.
Elsewhere in his report, Adamczyk mentioned a recent tour the CRG conducted at the Gloversville-Johnstown Wastewater Treatment Facility. The tour was with federal, state and local officials and was designed to showcase a need for infrastructure funding for such equipment as a thermal sludge dryer, he said.

JOHNSTOWN The Gloversville-Johnstown Joint Sewer Board recently adopted a nearly $5 million 2021 O&M general fund budget for the Gloversville-Johnstown Wastewater Treatment Facility.
Approval of the $4,890,945 spending plan was done by the board last month.
Prior to approval, the board’s Budget Committee had met Nov. 5 to discuss the budget. Facility Manager Wallace Arnold and Fiscal Officer Donna Renda also gave a presentation detailing the sewer plant budget for 2021 and a projected three-year capital plan.
In other business, the board heard from Arnold that a helical spring coil auger is working well to dispense potassium permanganate from the facility’s chemical feed system into the CAST System. He reported the last odor complaint occurred Sept. 5. Arnold said that a service technician from Carus Corp. on Oct. 28 inspected the chemical feed system and found certain issues.
