The Post Got Utica Wrong, and Its Own Numbers Prove It
The Post Got Utica Wrong, and Its Own Numbers Prove It
By J. Anthony Stucchi
(J. Anthony Stucchi is principal of JGK Associates, LLC d/b/a JGK Strategic, a strategic consulting firm based in Utica, New York.)
On August 10, 2026, the New York Post ran a real estate piece on Utica under a headline claiming the city has homes for $87,000 "but no one wants to live there." It is a tidy story. It is also demonstrably false, and the proof is sitting inside the Post's own article.
Four paragraphs in, the Post concedes that the average Utica home now runs $213,412 according to Zillow, up nearly 9 percent in the past year. Stop and read that again. Nine percent annual appreciation. Home values do not rise 9 percent in a year in a place nobody wants to live. They rise 9 percent where demand is outrunning supply. The headline and the data cannot both be true, and the data wins every time.
The market evidence beyond the Post's own reporting is even more damning to its thesis. A March 31, 2026 national relocation market guide reported that Utica homes routinely go under contract in 14 days, frequently spark bidding wars, and that mortgage pre-approval is now "the bare minimum" for a buyer to be taken seriously. Bidding wars. Fourteen days. In April 2025, Redfin listed Utica's median sale price at $160,000. By mid-2026 the median sale was tracking near $185,000 and Zillow's average value hit $213,412. That is not abandonment. That is one of the fastest-tightening small-city housing markets in the Northeast.
So where did the $87,000 headline number come from? Cherry-picking. The article itself admits that neighborhood medians range from roughly $87,000 to $157,000 while the citywide average sits around $213,000. The Post took the single lowest neighborhood figure in the city and hung the entire narrative on it. That is like pulling the cheapest block in Yonkers and declaring it the story of Westchester County. It is not journalism. It is decline porn, a genre that sells clicks downstate by recycling a Rust Belt obituary written 30 years ago.
And that is the real recklessness here. The article treats Utica as an island, frozen in 1995, when the city anchors one of the most active development corridors in upstate New York. Consider the record, with dates:
October 15, 2023: Governor Hochul announced the completion of the Wynn Hospital, a 702,000 square foot, 10-story, 373-bed regional medical center in the heart of downtown Utica, built with $300 million in state support and designed to handle 90,000 patient visits a year. Cities that nobody wants do not get new downtown hospitals.
September 10, 2025: The state announced completion of Artspace Utica Lofts, an $18.6 million, 43-unit development anchoring the city's Arts and Cultural District between the Stanley Theatre and the Munson.
In 2025, eBliss Global, a Texas electric bicycle manufacturer, committed more than $4 million to a production facility at 20 Harbor Point Road in downtown Utica.
March 3, 2026: Oneida County announced grant funding and a master plan to redevelop the 53-acre former hospital campus, converting yesterday's infrastructure into tomorrow's housing and commercial space.
And ten minutes up the road, Chobani is building a $1.2 billion, 1.4 million square foot dairy processing plant at Griffiss in Rome, with more than 1,000 jobs that will pull housing demand, suppliers, and payroll straight through the Utica market.
Add the Nexus Center, the Adirondack Bank Center, Harbor Point, Bagg's Square, and the proposed Nexus Neighborhood, and you are looking at a downtown district taking shape in real time. Even the affordability listicles the Post's genre feeds on now describe Genesee Street as walkable vibrancy drawing young professionals and artists. The Post found none of this worth a sentence.
Yes, Utica carries the scars every legacy industrial city carries. The poverty rate is real and the work is not finished. But the honest headline, the one the data actually supports, is the opposite of the one the Post printed: Utica is the last city in New York State where a working family, a first-time buyer, or a small investor can still get in the door, at the precise moment more than a billion and a half dollars of public and private capital is landing on the region. That is not a warning. That is an opportunity, and the people bidding up houses in 14 days have already figured it out.
The Post owes its readers better than a headline its own fourth paragraph refutes. Utica does not need the Post's pity. Judged by the only measures that matter, capital and demand, the market has already delivered its verdict.

Paul Parker about Utica, NY - 1984
“In the early 50s,
I was moved to paint Utica because,
like Mallory’s Everest,
it was there,
there in all its down-at-the-heel grunginess,
its weeded sidewalks,
its redbrick grime,
but bursting nevertheless with raffish vitality.”
— Paul Parker, 1984
I saw that quote at the Historical Society and really liked it.
I wasn't sure what "raffish vitality" meant so I looked it up - to see that it was the perfect descriptor.
Raffish means slightly disreputable, quirky, or rough around the edges, while "vitality" means full of life and energy. Together, it refers to a raw, unconventional, gritty charm and energetic atmosphere.

Day trip destination: Free family fun awaits at Rogers Environmental Education Center
SHERBURNE — Want to connect with the great outdoors without really roughing it?
With a variety of educational exhibits and seven miles of trails to explore, Rogers Environmental Education Center in Sherburne has been easing visitors into enjoying nature for almost 60 years. And the best part is, it’s all free.
“Rogers Center is public land,” said Ariah Mitchell, educator and communications lead for the nonprofit Friends of Rogers. “So it is free to come here; it is totally free to the public. We are open every single day, sunrise to sunset.”
The state Department of Environmental Conservation opened Rogers in 1968, but Friends of Rogers has managed the center’s day-to-day operations and programming since 2011 as part of an operating agreement with the state, according to its website.
Mitchell recommends first-time visitors start at the visitor center, which is staffed Wednesday through Sunday and has nature exhibits, bathrooms and a small bookstore.
“It can be nice to plan a visit when we’re open so you can drop in, grab some maps (and) learn a little bit more from a staff member or a volunteer about Rogers,” she said.
From there, visitors can walk on paved paths to the trout ponds, where they can view and feed three different kinds of trout; visit the Hall of Trees, with 30 different labeled tree species; or, on Wednesdays, stop by the Bird Cabin to see taxidermied birds from the George Lesser Bird Collection.
“There’s such a wide variety of birds, everything from owls to loons to 20 different types of ducks,” Mitchell said. “It’s an extensive collection. … Our school groups love to see it. Our summer camp kids love seeing it.”
There also are several hiking trails on the center’s main property and on three separate parcels nearby that each offer a slightly different experience. The Channels Marsh Trail, a visitor favorite located on the main campus, is currently undergoing work to make it accessible for wheelchairs and strollers. That project, including construction of a new viewing platform, should be finished later this summer, Mitchell said.
The Farm Towers Trail, located just across the street from the main parking lot, leads to an observation tower with views of the surrounding valley. Adams Farm, located a mile away on Williams Road, is a “hidden treasure” that’s great for birding and has wetlands and a hemlock grove, Mitchell said. And a property on Cush Hill Road has three woodland trails that offer a more challenging hike further from traffic.
“There are trails for every level of experience and every kind of experience that a hiker might be looking for,” Mitchell said.
Rogers Center also offers a variety of educational programs, including a story time and hike for toddlers and young children every Wednesday, summer day camps, and monthly community events such as guided hikes, free fishing days or canoe trips. Providing some of the special equipment needed for those activities makes it easier for people to try something they’ve never done before, Mitchell said.
“We’re hoping to lessen the barriers to entry for many of the outdoor activities,” she said. “We want people to realize how enjoyable it is to be outdoors and we’re trying in many ways to make the outdoors available for everybody, accessible for everyone.”
Add a stop: A trip to Sherburne isn’t complete without a stop at Gilligan’s Island, a local restaurant located at 64 N. Main St., that has been serving homemade hard ice cream for more than 30 years. Its menu and hours can be found online at gilliganssherburne.com.
“The Gilligan’s-Rogers combo is elite,” Mitchell said. “That’s the best thing you could possibly do over the weekend.”
If you’re visiting earlier in the day, Mitchell also recommended The Sherburne Inn, located at 2 W. State St., for its coffee bar and homemade pastries. Its menu and hours can be found online at nysherburneinn.com.

Battle of Oriskany and General Herkimer
Copy and pasted from the Genesis Group e-newsletter
Today, on August 6th, we observe the 249^(th) year of the Revolutionary War Battle of Oriskany. The Battle of Oriskany occurred because the British, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Barry St Leger, surrounded Fort Stanwix on August 2, 1777 with a force of 700 British Soldiers that were joined by Mohawk, Cayuga and Seneca Indian Warriors.
The British were headed to Albany to join British forces from Canada and New York City to fight the Colonial Forces at Saratoga. Forty miles away, at the home of General Nicholas Herkimer on August 3, 1777, the General assembled a militia of 750 men to march to Fort Stanwix to reinforce the Fort and end the siege.
Herkimer marched through Utica and Whitesboro toward Fort Stanwix. Herkimer was joined by 50-60 Oneida Indians at Whitesboro. On the morning of August 6, 1777, the Herkimer forces were ambushed in a ravine near Route 69 just west of Oriskany. The Battle ended mid-afternoon due to rain, because the muskets could not fire in the wet weather. The battle ended in a stalemate, with both sides eventually turning back after extremely heavy casualties.
During the Battle of Oriskany, General Herkimer was shot in the leg and was carried to a nearby tree where he continued to direct his troops. After the Battle, the wounded Herkimer was brought back to his home by way of the Mohawk River, and on August 17, 1777, Herkimer died at his home after a botched leg amputation.
As British troops fought at Oriskany, a small force of Colonial forces from Fort Stanwix raided the British camp outside Fort Stanwix and captured weapons and other supplies.
The raiding of the British camp combined with the fact that the Mohawk and Seneca allies became discouraged and abandoned the cause, led the British to lift the siege of Fort Stanwix on August 22, 1777, and head back to Canada.
The stalemate of the Battle of Oriskany and the retreat of the British back to Canada denied the British from having more than 5,000 extra forces at the Battle of Saratoga as the British would have picked up several thousand more soldiers as they would have marched through the Mohawk Valley to join other British forces at Saratoga. The Battle of Saratoga took place over two time periods in the Fall of 1777 (September19th to October 7, 1777) about a month apart.
If Herkimer did not prevent British forces from advancing to Saratoga, many historians have stated that the British would have won the Battle of Saratoga and that victory would have divided the colonies into two areas….New England and the southern colonies. That division would have most likely allowed the British to win the Revolutionary War.
So it can be concluded that the Battle of Oriskany and General Herkimer’s Forces along with the Oneida Indians were the single most important Battle of the Revolutionary War.

So South Utica... what are you going to do with 4.5 Million? Any ideas? Anyone going to the meetings?
UTICA — A meeting to discuss the planning process for the city of Utica’s New York Forward award will take place in August.
Earlier this year, the city of Utica was selected by the Mohawk Valley Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) to receive a $4.5 million award from New York State Governor Kathy Hochul through the NY Forward program.
As part of the process to determine how the funds will be spent, a local planning committee will oversee the development of a strategic investment plan, which will identify projects that match the community vision for downtown improvements.
The committee is led by chairs, Utica Mayor Michael Galime and Kari Puleo of the Greater Utica Chamber of Commerce.
The first meeting is open to the public and will be held on Monday, Aug. 10, from 6 to 8 p.m. in the first-floor meeting space of the Utica Children’s Museum, located at 106 Memorial Parkway, Utica.
This first meeting will provide an overview of the NY Forward program and planning process, define the LPC’s role and responsibilities, review the City of Utica’s application, and facilitate a discussion related to the vision and goals for Utica’s NY Forward program. Time will be reserved at the end of the meeting for public comment.
To ensure the Strategic Investment Plan (SIP) reflects the community’s needs, several public participation opportunities are launching this summer:
• A public survey is currently live to gather local feedback, priorities, and ideas. Community members can access and take the survey online by visiting www.tinyurl.com/UptownUticaForward
• The Open Call for Projects, which allows local property owners, business owners, and organizations to submit proposals for potential funding, is scheduled to launch in the coming weeks. Date and time will be announced soon.
• In addition to LPC meetings, the first public meeting date and time will be announced soon. This interactive meeting will serve as a community-wide forum to share ideas and receive technical assistance with the Open Call for Project Proposals application.

Governor Hochul Announces Start of Construction on 102-Unit Affordable and Supportive Housing Development in Utica
Governor Kathy Hochul today announced the start of construction on THRIVE Cornhill, an $80 million, 102-unit mixed-use affordable housing development in the city of Utica, Oneida County.
The project will increase access to health, wellness and social services, and help the continued revitalization of the city’s Cornhill neighborhood.
Under Governor Hochul’s leadership, New York State Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) has created or preserved more than 1,300 affordable homes in Oneida County.
“THRIVE Cornhill will help revitalize one of Utica's most culturally diverse neighborhoods and make it a place where families, children, seniors and young professionals can live and thrive side by side,” Governor Hochul said. “Together with our local partners, we are bringing more than 100 affordable homes, access to health and wellness services, and two brand-new community centers that will put residents and this neighborhood on a path to success.”
“THRIVE,” which stands for “To Heal and Revitalize an Innovative Vibrant Economy,” is developed by People First and the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties, in partnership with Edgemere Development. The Community Foundation led a community engagement process to solicit input on the project from local community members. The development will include two newly constructed buildings, each of which will include a Community Impact Center, space that will be open to all community residents. Amenities spread across the two impact centers will include meeting spaces, a business incubator, dedicated arts and media studios, and a gym and wellness facility. The development will also include a courtyard. By emphasizing arts, history and recreation, the project will enhance the community and foster neighborhood pride.
The project will be affordable for households earning up to 70 percent of the Area Median Income. There will be 19 supportive housing units for eligible seniors with disabilities and youth transitioning to independence from foster care, with on-site services provided by Integrated Community Alternatives Network. These apartments are supported by an Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative (ESSHI) award provided through the New York State Department of Health.
The development will be all-electric, featuring Energy Star appliances, electric heating and cooling, and low-flow plumbing fixtures. The project is conveniently located near downtown Utica, close to other residential buildings, commercial services, employment, schools, medical care, public transportation and recreational activities such as the Utica Zoo and the Utica Public Library. There will be seven units to accommodate individuals with mobility disabilities and three units adapted for residents with sensory disabilities.
HCR is supporting THRIVE Cornhill with $24 million in equity from the Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program, $14 million in equity from the State Low-Income Housing Tax Credit program, and $18.5 million in program funding. Additional State financing includes $6.5 million from Empire State Development through the Regional Economic Development Council initiative, including the Capital Improvement Grants for Pro Housing Communities program, and $5.1 million from the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance’s Homeless Housing and Assistance Program. The project is also supported by $4 million from the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties and $1.6 million from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York. The city of Utica will provide $922,000 from its ARPA program and $350,000 from its HOME program.
New York State Homes and Community Renewal Commissioner RuthAnne Visnauskas said, “As we break ground on this ambitious $80 million revitalization effort, we are grateful to be working alongside elected officials and community members to create enduring opportunities through THRIVE Cornhill. Thanks to Governor Hochul’s leadership and the efforts of our development partners, these 102 affordable homes and two Community Impact Centers will make a lasting impact on Utica’s Cornhill neighborhood by providing important resources and safe places for community connection.”
New York State Energy Research and Development Authority President and CEO Doreen M. Harris said, “The THRIVE Cornhill development in Utica demonstrates how affordable housing featuring energy efficient design and onsite solar energy can be integrated with community spaces to improve the way residents live, work and gather. By investing in projects like THRIVE Cornhill, New York is creating buildings that are more resilient, require less energy and are built to serve generations to come.”
New York State Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald said, “I applaud Governor Hochul for this investment in affordable housing for Oneida County. Everyone deserves to have a place to call home. Stable housing is an essential social determinant of health and access to stable, affordable housing helps improve health, well-being, and quality of life. Through the Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative, the Department is proud to support this development and the services that will help residents thrive.”
New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance Commissioner Barbara C. Guinn said, “Supportive housing is the most effective tool we have to address chronic homelessness and ensure all New Yorkers have an opportunity to live independently and thrive. When completed, THRIVE Cornhill will provide seniors and young adults who have experienced homelessness with stable energy-efficient housing and vital support services, along with convenient access to downtown Utica, public transportation, schools, and medical care. We are grateful to all our partners in this project and to Governor Hochul for continuing to make landmark investments to expand and preserve permanent supportive housing options across New York State.”
Empire State Development President, CEO and Commissioner Hope Knight said, “Housing is vital to promoting new economic growth because companies looking to grow in New York want to ensure that their employees will have homes. Governor Hochul’s bold housing agenda continues to foster community development and create more places for people to live, and building THRIVE Cornhill represents the latest milestone in those investments.”
Senator Charles Schumer said, “Every family in Utica deserves a safe and affordable place to call home. I’m proud that the federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit I’ve fought hard to preserve and expand has delivered millions to build more than 100 new apartments at THRIVE Cornhill in Utica. This new all-electric building will be close to downtown Utica and include amenities that will help residents thrive. High housing costs are a key driver of inflation so we must build more housing for working people to bring down those high prices. I applaud Governor Hochul’s work increasing access to housing for working families in Oneida County and the Mohawk Valley, and I will continue working to deliver federal resources to deliver more affordable housing across New York.”
Representative John W. Mannion said, “One year ago, I helped cut the ribbon on the Cornhill Empowerment Center, and this new investment in affordable housing will continue the revitalization and add to the vibrancy of this historic Utica neighborhood. As Oneida County and the Mohawk Valley prepare for new jobs and economic growth from Chobani’s expansion, we need more quality housing for working families and for the refugees who have long found opportunity and a welcoming home in Utica. I commend Governor Hochul and all the partners who are helping build a stronger future for Cornhill and the entire region.”
State Senator Joseph A. Griffo said, “It is important that New Yorkers have access to safe, affordable housing. This project will expand housing options and increase access to supportive services for residents of Utica and Oneida County.”
Assemblymember Marianne Buttenschon said, “I look forward to the results of this multi-organization collaboration. And I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the numerous partners whose tireless efforts have made the Cornhill Revitalization and THRIVE Cornhill Projects possible, the Community Foundation, People First, the Mid-Utica Neighborhood Preservation Corporation, Collective Impact Network, and our Oneida County and City of Utica leadership. As we break ground today, I offer my thanks to Governor Hochul for investing in the people of our Mohawk Valley.”
Oneida County Executive Anthony J. Picente Jr. said, “Revitalizing Cornhill is about more than new buildings, it’s about investing in the people who call this neighborhood home. The Cornhill Revitalization Project is a transformative effort that will not only address the critical need for affordable housing but also create opportunities for growth, connection and well-being for all. By fostering a safe, vibrant and supportive community, we are ensuring that Cornhill becomes a place where families thrive, businesses grow and culture flourishes. Together with New York State, the Community Foundation and our many partners, we are changing the future of this neighborhood for the better.”
Utica Mayor Michael P. Galime said, “The West and James Street impact centers will grow into beacons of opportunity for the Cornhill community of all ages. As bookends of redevelopment, the neighborhood itself will rise reflecting the perseverance and energy of the people that call this district home. Congratulations and thank you to all coordinated funding and working partners.”
People First Deputy Executive Director Shelley Penge said, “THRIVE Cornhill is yet another example of People First’s mission to enhance the quality of life of the people we serve within our community. This one-project/two-sites initiative will provide an additional 102 affordable housing units as well as a plethora of community service opportunities while continuing our work to revitalize the Cornhill neighborhood. THRIVE Cornhill is more than just brick and mortar — it is a cornerstone for opportunity, equity and stability in our community. By pairing safe, high-quality affordable housing with a rich network of supportive services, we’re not just providing families with a place to live; we are building a foundation where every resident has the resources to thrive.”
Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties President and CEO Alicia Dicks said, "Today's groundbreaking represents the culmination of partnership, planning, and commitment to the Cornhill neighborhood. THRIVE Cornhill is more than just constructing two new buildings; it is about creating opportunities for residents to access affordable housing, services, recreation, wellness, education and training, entrepreneurship, and community spaces that help people thrive. Guided by the voices of Cornhill residents every step of the way, this development reflects a shared vision for a stronger, healthier, and more vibrant neighborhood that will benefit generations to come."
Integrated Community Alternatives Network (ICAN) CEO and President Steven Bulger said, “THRIVE Cornhill represents the kind of transformational investment that can strengthen families, restore opportunity and create lasting change across an entire neighborhood. ICAN is honored to stand alongside People First, the Community Foundation, the neighborhood and so many committed partners to ensure that residents not only have a safe place to call home, but also the support, connection and resources they need to build a brighter future.”

New documentary highlights Tramontane Cafe's community legacy
UTICA — Quality time spent at the Tramontane Cafe — known to those in the know as "The Tram" — has inspired the latest documentary project by local filmmaker Jacob Lasher.
The debut screening of Lasher's new film "Legacy of the Tramontane Cafe: The Story Behind The Space" is at 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 2 at the cafe, 1105 Lincoln Ave.
"The Tram has changed my life in many ways," Lasher intimated. "And I noticed a thread of people saying they were also changed deeply by the establishment and the people that come from it. It’s such an inviting space, so I spoke to the owners — who I had grown closer with over the last few years — and the rest is history!"
Lasher said he first visited The Tram back in 2016. He had some coworkers who told him there was an open mic poetry night there because they knew he was a writer. They asked Lasher if he wanted to join. He did, "and it was magical," he said.
For the film, Lasher found people who frequent The Tram often for the regular events and people who have been attending since the beginning. There’s even a segment in the film about its predecessor establishment, Virgo Bat and Leo Phrog's, so he invited some guests who had been there back in the day to talk about their own experiences.
He said he thought out loud, "who would best represent The Tram?" and made some calls for the interviews about their memories.
Lasher said this film has been in the works since March, after the idea came to him during the winter. It took more than 200 hours of editing, he added.
Lasher said he had a book signing at The Tram that was especially moving to him, and attending events there have given him "a huge sense of community." Going to the poetry night over the last decade has transformed him in ways he finds hard to explain, he admitted.
"It helped me open up and learn how to connect with people, learn how to trust with people … I’m so deeply passionate about this place because it’s one of the reasons that I kept going," he said. "The Tram has provided so much safety over the years and I wanted to make sure nobody forgot!"
"Legacy of the Tramontane Cafe: The Story Behind The Space" is Lasher's way of doing that.
"This project is a labor of love in order to pay tribute to Robin (Raabe) and Garrett (Ingraham), who have worked for decades to provide safe places for people," he said. "It’s also a tribute to the community that they have built."
A YouTube premiere will follow a week after the premiere at The Tram, Lasher said.
Seating is limited. Tickets are $5 with all proceeds donated to the Purrs & Whiskers cat and kitten rescue outreach. They are available to reserve in advance by stopping by The Tram or calling 315-790-5113.
