 In California it is Silicon Valley. In Massachusetts it's Route 128. And in Lansing 300 acres south of Brown Road house a vibrant center of high tech development. Nestled in an area by the airport, more than 90 companies accounting for 1,600 local jobs call Cornell Business & Technology Park home. One up and coming company is Tech S2, which specializes in information technology (IT) and customizing technical solutions for real world needs. "We have competition out there, but I think our ability to produce software quickly (gives us an edge)," says CEO Mark Wheeler. " We're saying what do you need? We'll build it."
Wheeler and his wife Lisa started Tech S2 in their Lansing home four years ago. He had 22 years of experience both as a software developer and a project manager. She took care of the financial side of the business. At the time Wheeler says he thought it would be an IT business. "We felt Ithaca was big enough," he says. "We joined the Chamber (of Commerce), and we tried to make friends with some of these other ones. Even businesses that compete help each other."

 Some businesses come from detailed business plans. Others evolve, and that's how Robin Schuttenberg's Wearable Art came to be. She started painting dinosaurs onto T-shirts for her two sons 20 years ago, and then for their friends. Soon she was selling her shirts at craft and juried shows. Three years ago she began to draw large, detailed pen and ink images. "I started drawing dragons and the dinosaurs and all other sorts of creatures," she says. "A friend of mine looked at them and said, 'Boy, you should send these out for tattoos or for museums to put on T-shirts.' And so I did."
Today her designs are for sale in museum shops including the local Museum of the Earth and New York City's Museum of Natural History. She starts with a pen and ink drawing about 20" x 14". The designs are intricately fine lined, but must be distinct enough to be reduced to about 12" x 11" to be printed on T-shirts. Her shirts have a smaller second design on the back. "On the dragons right now I'm in an eye mode, so different kinds of dragons' eyes on the back of the shirts," she says. "Sometimes it extends more and you get more of the brow, and some of the nose, and sometimes it's just the eye, and sometimes it's in a box and sometimes it isn't."

We love lists. We want to know the 10 best pizza places in town and the 10 worst dressed celebrities at the Oscars. We long to find the top 10 movies of the year and the 10 most popular songs of the century. We want to know about the richest people in the country and the cheapest brunches in our city. In short, the list of lists could go on for a long time, but there's always room for one more - so let's look at the Top Five Reasons to Invest.Here they are, in no particular order of importance: |

Ithaca, NY – June 28, 2007 – Tompkins Trust Company President and CEO Greg Hartz (left) and Tompkins Trustco Chairman Jim Byrnes (right) stand on 113 acres of green space to present Andrew Zepp, Finger Lakes Land Trust executive director, with a $5,000 contribution towards the purchase of this new “link” in the Land Trust’s “Emerald Necklace” project. The land runs more than a mile along the Cayuga Inlet to connect Robert Treman State Park and a Cornell Plantations natural area. The Emerald Necklace is a long-term project to link more than 50,000 acres of public access land south of Ithaca. The new area will be formally opened in September; a six-day, 78 mile learning hike will mark the occasion.
