Madison County housing report: Market tough for renters, homebuyers

Madison County isn’t the easiest place in which to find a good rental unit or to buy an affordable home these days, according to a new county report on housing. The median home price in the county’s historically affordable housing market rose by about $100,000 between 2020 and 2026 because there aren’t enough homes on the market, according to the recently released Madison County 2026 Housing Assessment. And more than two out of three rental units in the county will be at least 50 years old by 2030. But local rents aren’t high enough for landlords to afford the necessary maintenance and upgrades, according to the report. That doesn’t mean, though, that apartments are easily affordable for county residents. About two out of three renters earning $50,000 annually or less pay more for rent than they can really afford, the assessment found. And that number goes up to more than 80% for renters earning less than $35,000 a year. And that gloomy assessment hits as the county is hoping to benefit from new residents moving to the county to take advantage of economic development efforts in Central New York, such as the Micron complex being built in Clay. “This report

Remediation work beginning on former Utica city dump

The former Utica city dump, a New York State Superfund site, is getting cleaned up. Work will start soon, according to a recent update from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, which, although sent in early November, also said the work was expected to start in October. The $43 million remediation project, being paid for by the state superfund program, is expected to take about two years. It will restore the site for industrial or commercial use. The 126-acre dump, located between Leland Road, the Mohawk River and the Erie Canal, was used as a municipal dump for decades, but local industries also disposed of some of their waste there. And some illegal dumping took place after the initial, 55-acre municipal dump closed in 1972. Site assessments from over the years, dating back as far as 1988, mention clusters of rusted barrels, at least two containing a white powder and many so rusted their contents disappeared. The assessments also mention seepage of leachate, sometimes into pools and at least one orange “stream” flowing into the Mohawk. Former workers at the dumps who were interviewed mentioned numerous fires. They said some were caused by spontaneous combustion; some of the
