Construction To Begin on New Oneonta Building; Large Part of Dietz Parking Closed

Beginning next week a significant portion of the Dietz St. parking lot in Oneonta will be fenced off for construction activities as part of a Downtown Revitalization Initiative (DRI) . The city sold part of the lot to a developer constructing a 4-story, mixed-use building called Lofts on Dietz (artist rendering below).
