Local Impact
Ithaca is a small community. Economic growth isn’t compartmentalized by municipal boundaries. For instance, even though the Tech Park is in the Village of Lansing, the tax revenues are shared by community:
- 67% goes to schools
- 19% goes to the County
- Village of Lansing keeps only 6%
Likewise, even though it's located outside the heart of the City, Tech Park employees also support downtown:
- 74% shop downtown
- 85% go out to dinner downtown
- 87% use downtown services (dry cleaning, auto repair, etc.)
- 66% go downtown for entertainment (theater, movies, music)
