| About Utica
- Utica, New York is a city in New York State, the county
seat of Oneida County in the USA. The City
of Utica is situated within the region referred to as
the Mohawk Valley. Utica has an extensive park system,
with winter and summer sports facilities.
Like many industrial towns and cities from New England
through Upstate New York and into the Midwest, Utica
has experienced a major reduction in manufacturing activity
in the past several decades, and is in serious financial
straits; many public services have been curtailed to
save money. Suburbs in the region have begun to experience
suburban sprawl; this is common in many Upstate New
York cities, which are suffering from what the Sierra
Club termed "sprawl without growth."
The arrival of a large number Bosnian immigrants over
the past several years has invigorated the economy;
Utica now has one of the largest populations of Bosnians
outside of the country of Bosnia. Its economy is heavily
dependent on commercial growth in its most significant
suburb, New Hartford.
