UTICA, N.Y. – The City of Utica is planning to renovate the Commercial Travelers Insurance building on Genesee Street by developing a mixed-use property, with loft apartments and commercial space.
Utica Mayor Robert Palmieri made the announcement Wednesday.
The first floor of the building will have space for a commercial tenant, as well as a fitness center and community room.
Here in Central New York,
The Badge 4963 Blend is available at the Utica Coffee cafes and online. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Thomas Lindsey Foundation. This foundation is an organization that researches and analyzes violent crimes against police to help develop preventative action.
As you might remember,
Lindsey was shot and killed in the line of duty during a traffic stop on Neilson Street in Utica in 2007. Wesley Molina-Cirino, who was 24-years-old at the time of the killing, was subsequently charged, convicted and sentenced to serve life in prison without the possibility of parole.

UTICA, N.Y. – Short, tall or grande? Get your order ready, because a new Starbucks is coming to North Genesee Street in Utica.
The 2,200 square-foot facility will be located across from Babe’s next to Kookie’s Q & Creamery.
Utica Mayor Robert Palmieri said Starbucks has already formally submitted its plan to the Utica Planning Board.
“As a community, we welcome Starbucks with open arms. This is an exciting time in our city and my administration will continue to work diligently to attract local, regional and national developers to Utica,” said Palmieri. “I thank Starbucks for investing in Utica and wish them every success.”
The time has come to lower prescription drug prices in the United States, U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-NY, said Thursday afternoon at a news conference in Utica.
“As New Yorkers face growing health challenges and economic hardship in the wake of the pandemic, they are being forced to make decisions between picking up their drugs and buying groceries or keeping the lights on,” she said. “And while people struggle to access the medications they need, the five largest pharmaceutical companies in the country are making tens of billions of dollars in profits.”
The pandemic has proven the urgency of the issue, she said, pointing out that prices increased for 860 prescription drugs last year.
Ilion resident Jack Schoendorf couldn’t visit Donna, his wife of 62 years, between September and mid-March.
Donna, 83, has lived in a long-term care home at Charles T. Sitrin Health Care Center in New Hartford for the past seven years. Schoendorf, 86, used to visit her five days a week from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. until the COVID-19 pandemic closed nursing home doors to visitors.
Over the fall and winter, they just talked on the telephone four or five times a day, Schoendorf said, because neither of them has the technological ability for a video call.
When asked, Schoendorf said in mid-March that he wasn’t sure how Donna was doing.
