RSS Purchase of 27 Market St.: Opposing Views—Letter to RSS Executive Director DeVita in Favor

'We Support Your Efforts'

March 24, 2025

Dear Executive Director DeVita,

This letter reflects the collective views of a multitude of Oneonta residents and key downtown stakeholders. We are actively engaged in local government affairs and we have been closely following RSS’s activities in Oneonta. We would like to express our support for your organization’s efforts to purchase 27 Market St.

According to Mayor Drnek, RSS staff will be presenting on this matter at the April 1st Common Council Meeting. We invite you to attend so you can see that Oneonta is a diverse, welcoming, and empathetic community. Your Director of Strategic Partnerships, Christine Nealon, has advocated on behalf of this project effectively and we look forward to engaging with her further.
