The only money coming into this area from this new business will go directly into Galesi's pocket. Hey, how are those upscale apartments in the old DSS building going Mr. Galesi? What a joke.....
This business will hire a staff? A secretary? Computer techs? A janitorial staff? Those people from the top end execs to the bottom of the pay scale sweeper will all have a JOB in downtown Schdy. The staff will order lunch? From burgers and donuts to high end catered buffets... from local vendors. The business will have clients from all over the world... who stay in local hotels... eat local food, possibly expose the downtown to more business ventures.
I see the new business as a positive thing for the city. You have a choice of two options as things are now: 1. An EMPTY tax free building or 2. A tax free building that has a number of employees actively working in the area.
If I were a Schdy resident, I'd choose #1.

15 years of a tax -exemption (2010 - 2025) on a million dollar building.
It's a legacy of loss the City cannot afford.
Yup. Good successful retail stores do best by utilizing everysquare footage of the store to generate income.
Schenectady has segmented itself so much by all the County buildings, the Non Profits and Tax Exempt businesses that it is physically imposible to generate the same revenue as other citys. We are taxes like a city but we are nothing like a city. We have no business density. We are pretenders.

If as you post, there is presently a 15 years of tax exempt status on this building... then there IS no other option for collecting taxes on this building. That choice has already been made... which brings me back to the reality of my original question:

Interesting is that despite 100% exemption from taxes, the retail businesses STILL DO NOT want to open in downtown Schenectady!!!
Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent. Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.

No option 3 of cutting government spending and reducing ALL taxes to a reasonable level. Amazing!
Box's solution is to exempt the millionaire so it can create jobs(wage slaves) to keep people working to earn just enough to survive and pay their property taxes to fund the government so the residents can continue to pay for the municipal services the millionaire business owner benefits from. That is actually a form of slavery or indentured servitude. Putting people on the hamster wheel just for the sake of putting them on the hamster wheel knowing that they can never get ahead.

No Cicero... that isn't an option. As the situation now stands, the building has a tax exemption. The options at this site now are... You have a choice of two options as things are now: 1.

Which do you think is better for the residents of Schdy?

What's so hard about abolishing Metroplex and making all the tax exemptions null and void? What's Galesi going to do? SELL?! No way, no one would EVER pay the taxes in the City. The Plex has created a false atmosphere of economics. What it truly is (as Cicero stated) is a hamster wheel of debt.
If it's possible to 'abolish Metroplex", then that is an option. My guess is that the tax exemption is a contract between the city and a business. Breaking that contract may or may not be possible.

I don't know Box. BUT, the loans that the Plex hand out are totally unsecured (when the Van Dyke and Cornells and Parker Inn went belly up, Gillen was last in line with open hands).
Would stand to reason that these PILOTS and exemptions are as equally unreliable.
