It happened in Oneonta. Much of the area cleared is still not built upon
(though a new hotel on Main Street has occupied part of the area).

> I have run across a couple of instances of "urban renewal" projects in
small cities or towns in New York in the 1970s in which old structures were
razed but little or nothing new was built to replace them. Was that sort of
thing common, or were these most likely local eccentricities? Has anything
been written about this?
