Dowen, CPA, Whittemore, Dowen and Ricciardelli LLP.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>BY PAUL L. DOWEN<\/p>\n<p>From an economic standpoint, 2014, although<br \/>\nnot stellar, was definitely a better<br \/>\nyear than some of its predecessors. I am<br \/>\noptimistic about the year that lies ahead.<\/p>\n<p>Increased employment and lower energy<br \/>\ncosts create an increase in consumer<br \/>\nspending, which drives business and will<br \/>\nin turn increase business spending.<\/p>\n<p>There are soft signals from the Fed that<br \/>\ninterest rates may increase slightly also<br \/>\nsuggesting a renewed level of confidence<br \/>\nin our economy. While there are many<br \/>\nwild cards in the mix, we are poised for<br \/>\ncontinued modest growth in 2015.<br \/>\nThe recent economic climate has<br \/>\nchanged the way many companies do<br \/>\nbusiness. Survival mode forged stronger<br \/>\ncompanies with more effective management<br \/>\nand controls. Our clients are concentrating<br \/>\non their core profit centers<br \/>\nand have shed less productive (profitable)<br \/>\nactivities. Their focus has shifted<br \/>\nto leaner operations with an eye on<br \/>\ncontinual improvement. As the economy<br \/>\ngrows, business will expand to meet<br \/>\ngrowing demand, and they will benefit by<br \/>\nincreased efficiencies adopted to survive.<\/p>\n<p>The labor market will improve for job<br \/>\nseekers, lowering the unemployment<br \/>\nrate. Employers will not only need to<br \/>\ncompete to hire top talent but could<br \/>\nstruggle to retain existing employees.<\/p>\n<p>Competition will help drive wage and<br \/>\nbenefit increases. Increased levels of<br \/>\nemployment and higher wages will result<br \/>\nin higher discretionary income, helping<br \/>\nspur the economy.<\/p>\n<p>Falling crude prices have had many<br \/>\nfavorable impacts on our economy. Lower<br \/>\nprices at the pump leave more money for<br \/>\ndiscretionary purchases which increase<br \/>\nconsumer demand. Businesses realize<br \/>\nsavings in transportation costs, petroleum<br \/>\nbased materials, and overall utility<br \/>\nsavings, freeing up capital for investment.<br \/>\nIn addition, falling gas prices should help<br \/>\nkeep inflation low.<\/p>\n<p>However, prolonged falling prices for<br \/>\ncrude could ultimately have a negative<br \/>\nimpact on the stock market, as well as<br \/>\nthe economy as a whole . I expect our<br \/>\neconomy to benefit from lower pump<br \/>\nprices well into 2015, but expect to see<br \/>\nsome market correction before year-end<br \/>\nas producers reduce supply when it is no<br \/>\nlonger profitable.<\/p>\n<p>The Fed has been subtly indicating by<br \/>\nomitting &#8220;considerable time&#8221; language<br \/>\nthat they will increase interest rates<br \/>\nin the coming year. This increase will<br \/>\nbe contingent on continued economic<br \/>\nimprovement and the degree of inflation.<br \/>\nFor borrowers this increase will<br \/>\nultimately increase interest expense.<\/p>\n<p>For businesses considering long term<br \/>\nborrowing, the potential increase should<br \/>\nbe factored into the planning process.<br \/>\nIncreased interest rates are also expected<br \/>\nto fuel foreign investment in the United<br \/>\nStates. While the increase will be gradual,<br \/>\nwe should anticipate higher interest rates<br \/>\nin the future.<\/p>\n<p>Local issues that will have a direct<br \/>\nimpact on our local economy include expansion<br \/>\nof casino gambling, Start-Up NY<br \/>\ntax-free business development zones, and<br \/>\nthe New York state hydraulic fracturing<br \/>\nban. Both the casino and fracking issues<br \/>\nhave been contentious, but with the decisions<br \/>\ncomes resolution and the ability to<br \/>\nmove forward.<\/p>\n<p>The approval of three multi-million<br \/>\ndollar casino projects in New York state<br \/>\nwill generate construction jobs in the<br \/>\narea and increased demand for materials<br \/>\nin the coming year. Ultimately the projects<br \/>\nwill create permanent hospitality<br \/>\ncareer opportunities as well as supporting<br \/>\nbusiness opportunities in the surrounding<br \/>\nregions. The casinos will increase tax<br \/>\nand licensing revenues which will help<br \/>\nrevitalize the struggling communities<br \/>\nchosen.<\/p>\n<p>Agree or disagree, the ban on hydraulic<br \/>\nfracturing (&#8220;fracking&#8221;) in New York state<br \/>\ncarries economic consequences for this<br \/>\nregion. States with fracking have benefited<br \/>\nfrom both jobs and revenue. New<br \/>\nYork&#8217;s desire to create more environmentally<br \/>\nconservative growth is admirable,<br \/>\nbut will likely not result in any immediate<br \/>\nfavorable impact in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>SUNY Adirondack was approved as<br \/>\ntax-free zone through Start-Up NY. This<br \/>\ndesignation was established to attract<br \/>\nqualified businesses to upstate New York.<br \/>\nWhile SUNY Adirondack is one of many<br \/>\napproved zones within the state, the<br \/>\nzero tax concept will offer a competitive<br \/>\nadvantage over other states in enticing<br \/>\nbusinesses to relocate to our region.<\/p>\n<p>The impact of the recent national<br \/>\nelections is still a wild card. At this time<br \/>\nlast year, I was hopeful that 2013&#8217;s last<br \/>\nminute budget deal signaled a beginning<br \/>\nof compromise and good governing. Unfortunately<br \/>\nthat wasn&#8217;t the case in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>I am again hopeful that our elected<br \/>\nofficials will get back to the business of<br \/>\ngoverning. The upcoming term will prove<br \/>\ninteresting for the nation as the new<br \/>\nmajority will need to figure out not only<br \/>\nhow to compromise with the minority and<br \/>\nthe President, but how to build consensus<br \/>\nwith it&#8217;s own divided constituency to<br \/>\nachieve results.<\/p>\n<p>I am optimistic for 2015, slightly more<br \/>\noptimistic than last year, although I<br \/>\nhaven&#8217;t yet reached a level which could<br \/>\nbe described as excited. All the signs suggest<br \/>\nthat 2015 will continue the positive<br \/>\ntrends we experienced last year. As the<br \/>\neconomy strengthens, the positive effects<br \/>\nwill help perpetuate the momentum.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Paul L.
