The county of Clinton is encouraged by the North Country Chamber of Commerce’s 2022 Business Confidence Index results which were unveiled today. The Chamber announced that the 2022 Business Confidence Index is at 90 percent.

“Obviously the last two years have been difficult for North Country businesses, but we did what we always do; we pull together and push through,” said Mark Henry, Clinton County Legislature Chairman. “While we know there are still many challenges ahead, the County will continue to support our business community to help them grow. I thank the Chamber for their continued efforts to help our businesses navigate unchartered territory.”

“As a small business owner, I know how uncertain things seem, but the Chamber continues to be a strong partner with Clinton County and these numbers reflect the business community’s confidence in that relationship,” said Patty Waldron, Chairperson of the Clinton County Economic Development Committee. “We will continue to strengthen these relationships and help our businesses tackle some of the concerns raised in the survey.”

“It is clear that optimism is on the horizon for North Country businesses,” said Molly Ryan, Clinton County Economic Development Director. “Despite the many obstacles they have faced, they continue to push forward. I am grateful for the Chamber’s constant efforts to support our businesses and I look forward to working with them to foster the growing confidence in the business community.”

“With crime rising across New York State, I feel it is necessary to once again urge the State to make necessary changes to bail reform. I voted against bail reform in 2019 because I was concerned about how it would negatively impact public safety. I have continuously advocated to make important changes that will address these concerns such as adding judicial discretion, and held a roundtable in 2020 for law enforcement, district attorneys, and emergency personnel to discuss the problems they experienced with bail reform. Since bail reform was passed, many North Country residents have reached out to my office because they are concerned about these new reforms, including social service agencies and addiction services organizations that are able to provide important mental health and addiction support while people await their trial in jail. Domestic violence organizations and law enforcement agencies have also expressed concerns about how removing bail also removes what law enforcement calls a cooling off period that allows domestic violence survivors to seek safety and avoid aggression from abusers due to their arrest. Recently, New York City Mayor Eric Adams also called to make changes to bail reform as a former NYPD police officer and it’s time that we listen to people who have experience in law enforcement and bring those perspectives to the table when discussing bail reform.”
