We don't need a tower! We need manufacturers, business, jobs!

Design for Proposed Tower

A local businessman hopes to construct a 125-foot “Landmark Tower” on North Utica land owned by the state Canal Corp. by this summer.

At the top, 7-foot lights spelling “UTICA” would face to the north, east and west, visible from the Thruway, Route 12 and other places in the region.

“I hope it becomes a landmark,” said Frank Giotto, president of Oriskany-based Fiber Instrument Sales, who is spearheading the effort. “I hope they have to change any brochure done on Utica.”
