Super User Technologies Expanding

A Bradford businesswoman is “aggressively” expanding her business, and creating jobs in the process.
Carolyn Boser Newhouse of Super User Technologies will start providing video surveillance and access control services, and asked for a $100,000 Enterprise Zone loan to help with the startup costs. Bradford City Council approved the loan during its meeting Tuesday. The loan has an interest rate of 3 percent for a term of up to 15 years.
She told council that many people think her company is an information technology business but it’s actually wired and wireless communications infrastructure.
“We put the wire in the wall and the waves in the air,” she said.
She said she wants to add a complementary scope of service – a new division for surveillance and access control “which is supposed to be somewhat recession proof.”
Newhouse said she expects to create seven new jobs to start with. The second year plan would be to offer monitoring and hosting services.
She used the example of the burglary at the Eldred American Legion building as to why there’s a growth in the monitoring and hosting business. The people who broke in took the surveillance tape so it couldn’t be used for prosecution.
Newhouse started Super User Technologies in 1993 at the OECD’s business incubator on Russell Boulevard. In 2000 with help from the OECD and the North Central Regional Planning and Development Commission, she was able to call the Old Post Office the new home for her business.
In other matters on Tuesday, council approved the appointment of Michael Campogiani to permanent firefighter/EMT effective June 9. This is not a new position; he has completed his probationary period.
Council also approved grants to two property owners for installation of sidewalks, and to a couple of homeowners in the Elm Street/Project Pride neighborhood for rehabilitation of their homes.
Council accepted a quote from Tom Vickery to demolish 18 Howard Street. The city bought the house in 2007 and has since determined that it’s beyond repair. OECD solicited quotes from qualified contractors to demolish and clear the structure and transport the debris to the McKean County Landfill. Vickery submitted the lowest of five quotations at $2,654.
Council also appointed City Solicitor Mark Hollenbeck, City Clerk John Peterson and City Controller Ron Orris as the negotiating committee for the 2010 local union #110 contract negotiations.
