What ever happened to people putting their own capital at risk? or going to a Bank for a loan? or selling shares to investors to raise capital?the IDA also approved an initial authorizing resolution for the Fish Creek Cabin Resort, which would be located in Taberg and primarily target kayakers visiting the area.
Through their government the Taxpayers have been a silent "partner" to this little Oneida County start up business -- or making "investments" as the politicians like to claim -- right from its inception. But unlike a real partner, they get NO right to a return on the investment of THEIR money:
It seems like there's no such thing as a free market/level playing field anymore. Government is involved in everything. This is discouraging to those who don't want handouts because Government becomes their competitor.

And, everytime cutting the budget is mentioned, it's always throwing grandma under the bus or depriving starving kids. Of course, even cuts aren't really cuts they are just cuts in the growth of the baseline. Studies also show that most of business grants either fail or do not increase employment.We wonder why we are $15 trillion in debt?
Just who is Fish Creek Resort?
No wonder our government budgets are up the creek without a fishing pole.
Somebody's cousin?
Read that this"project" will create TWO to FOUR FULL OR PART TIME JOBS!! Our taxdollars at work.
It would be very informative to know who owns the company. One would not be surprised to discover a political connection.
Family owned business:
Solid Bilt Storage Sheds is owned and operated by Schoen Sales and Service. Schoen Sales and Service is a family owned business that is entering its 35th year of business in the Mohawk Valley, located in Central New York.
In 2004 Schoen Sales and Service acquired Solid Built Storage Sheds from the Zook Family. We build and design all of the storage buildings that we sell and that you see on this site. Our buildings are manufactured locally in Madison, NY. Our Madison location is home to our Storage Shed Factory and sales lot. Madison is where all of our sheds are custom made and built.
Our Marcy location houses our main office and sales lot. The Marcy location is also home to another of Schoen Sales and Service business, Schoen Brothers Lacrosse.

Have you seen the website?
Here's the link. The image of the Cabin posted on their website does not entice me to stay there- think I can get close to the same experience in Sherril Brook park.
MADISON IS NOT IN ONEIDA COUNTY , why did Oneida county provide $$$ if the sheds are manufactured in Madison County?
The owners are indeed a representative of a nice and reputable business group. That, however, begs the political and business questions related to the government participation in the project. As pointed out by some in the Indium situation, it is not the matter of the company but one of the existence of the programs invoving taxpayer money. If a project has merit, it should be financed privately. Why should the taxpayer become an investor in a resort, a downtown hotel or a very profitable manufacturing company?
