SCHOHARIE — Schoharie Economic Enterprise Corporation (SEEC) invites the community to its upcoming Open House, themed “Rooted in Purpose. Grown in Legacy.”, on Tuesday, September 30 from 8:00–10:00 a.m. at 287 Main, Schoharie.
Designed to foster collaboration, connection, and conversation, the event will offer guests an inside look at SEEC’s initiatives — from Main Street revitalization and industrial development to cutting-edge digital access.
Attendees will enjoy coffee, local pastries, and networking opportunities while experiencing SEEC’s mission in action through an interactive “speed-dating” style format. Guests will rotate through three themed stations that represent SEEC’s core pillars of economic development:
Digital Revolution
Explore how broadband expansion may place Schoharie County in the top 3% nationwide for high-speed internet access. Learn about public WiFi initiatives, the SEEC role in the Mohawk Valley Broadband Coalition, and the SEEC Digital Enlighten Series that empowers businesses to thrive in a connected world.
Industry Diversity
Hear how SEEC serves as a bridge between businesses and municipalities to foster growth. Learn more about projects like Schoharie Business Park Water and Wastewater upgrades, Town of Schoharie Smart Growth planning, and world-class international investments planned in the village of Sharon Springs.
Main Street Vitality
Discover how SEEC is breathing new life into downtowns through programs like Curb Appeal, the 287 Main Coworking & Gallery Space, and the Parrott House through the SEEC Impact Fund — all designed to attract residents, talent, and investment to Schoharie County’s historic centers.
Together, these initiatives reflect SEEC’s core beliefs of placemaking, resiliency, and leveraging local assets — values that are at the heart of building a stronger, more sustainable regional economy.
“This open house is more than just a look inside our building — it’s a window into what’s possible for Schoharie County,” said Julie Pacatte, Executive Director of SEEC. “From closing the digital divide to revitalizing Main Streets, we’re helping align community vision with economic investment. Whether you’re a resident, entrepreneur, or investor, this event is your opportunity to get involved.”
Since 2019, SEEC has helped catalyze more than $56 million in public-private investment across Schoharie County — and its pipeline of projects continues to grow to ¼ billion. The September 30 event will offer exclusive previews of new investment opportunities, updates on ongoing projects, and ways for stakeholders to contribute.
