Book excerpt: Picture your downtown vacant, boarded up, while the malls surrounding your city are thriving. What would you do? In 1974 the politicians, merchants, community leaders, and business and property owners, of Ithaca, New York, joined together to transform main street into a pedestrian mall. Cornell University began an Industrial Research Park to keep and attract jobs. Developers began renovating run-down housing. City Planners crafted a long-range plan utilizing State legislation permitting a Business Improvement District (BID), with taxing authority to raise up to 20 percent of the City tax rate focused on downtown redevelopment. Shaping a City is the behind-the-scenes story of one developer’s involvement, from first buying and renovating small houses, gradually expanding his thinking and projects to include a recognition of the interdependence of the entire city—jobs, infrastructure, retail, housing, industry, taxation, banking and City Planning. It is the story of how he, along with other local developers transformed a quiet, economically challenged upstate New York town into one that is recognized nationally as among the best small cities in the country. The lessons and principles of personal relationships, cooperation and collaboration, the importance of density, and the power of a Business Improvement District to catalyze change, are ones you can take home for the development and revitalization of your city.

Book Synopsis Explaining Tompkins by : Carol Kammen
Download or read book Explaining Tompkins written by Carol Kammen and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The emergence of Tompkins County. On the surface, Tompkins Country is a small set of towns centered on Ithaca, the county seat. This arrangement looks planned, even organized. Underneath that neatness, though, was a complicated series of shifts, moving towns in and out of the county and breaking Ulysses up. Similarly, Tompkins County government has changed dramatically over two centuries, gaining and sometimes losing responsibilities. A Board of Supervisors that met annually is now a County Legislature that meets twice a month and more. The state has asked counties to shoulder more burdens, and Tompkins Country residents want services. 'Explaining Tompkins: its growth and goverment' shows the forces that shaped this unique corner of Upstate New York." -- page [4] of cover.
Download or read book Ithaca written by Carol Kammen and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2008-10-20 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Calmly nestled among the glacial streams and hills of central New York, residents of Ithaca may find it hard to believe that their city began with a rocky start. Transient teamsters and salt barge workers gave the town a rowdy reputation in its pioneer days, and the fledgling village seemed doomed as the most isolated place on the Eastern Seaboard. Over the course of the nineteenth century, Ithacas character swung like a pendulum from debauchery to temperance, from boisterous vagrancy to religious fervor and reform. Though the town was hit hard by the Depression of 1837 and periodically ravaged by fire and flood, Ithaca survived to become a lively and bustling community and an important center of education, technological innovation and cultural vibrancy. In this comprehensive history, Carol Kammen shows exactly why Ithaca is known as the Crown of Cayuga.
