Oneonta Food Hub Vision Takes Shape

by Otsego Now Staff

Two years ago, the staff at Otsego Now began working with the late Mayor Dick Miller on the idea of an agricultural center in downtown Oneonta that would be a central feature of a revitalized Market Street. Late last year, Otsego Now issued a Request for Proposals for professional services to prepare a feasibility study and economic development strategy for the prospective food hub – the first step toward making that shared vision into reality.

We received several very strong proposals and eventually narrowed the field to two. To help us make this difficult choice, we assembled a committee composed of Otsego Now CEO Sandy Mathes, Otsego Now COO Elizabeth Horvath, IDA Board member and foodie Devin Morgan, Oneonta Mayor Gary Herzig and Foothills Performing Arts Center Chair Louisa Montanti.

The team eventually chosen consists of four outstanding service providers: Karen Karp & Partners, Elan Planning, Delaware Engineering and Hugh A. Boyd, architect.
