This afternoon I called the Utica, NY building department and spoke with Jack (the guy who picked up the phone). He stated that a Permit has indeed been issued to Tesla for a Supercharging Station in "the north part of town, by Rite Aid". I asked if he had any idea when it was scheduled to be finished and he had no idea.
When Utica is finished, it will make a very nice connection between Albany, NY and Kingston, ON! This could be the first Supercharger connection of the East Canadian Island to the rest of the North American Supercharger Network.
Excellent news, what address is this at?
Here's a Google Street View image of an identical building.

It confirms Cottonwood's educated guess of 208 Herkimer Road, Utica, NY 13502. You're looking at the Eastern wall of an outdoor shopping center anchored by a Price Chopper supermarket. Rite Aid is just to the North in the same center, but in its own building.
Herkimer road appears to change its name to Auert Avenue right about at the shopping center, which could confuse navigation systems (or their users.)
I'm from Utica. My friend snapped this photo today - looks like it's almost ready! Supercharge.info says "permit" but clearly they are beyond that stage already.

Thank you for the update. Looks like Supercharge.info needs to update to 8 stalls as well as details indicate only 4. Way to go Tesla.
Correct. It is not Rite-Aid, it's behind Rite-Aid, against the larger building that also contains Price Chopper (if you are facing PC, its on the far left side of the building).
Here is a quick map I made up to help.

From either direction, I believe you'd get off at exit 31, take a right on N.Genesee St, a right onto Auert Ave, and a right onto Leland Ave. It'll be on your right.
Utica was once a BOOMING city, mostly because of its location along the Erie Canal. Although it became quite depressed, it is really starting to make a comeback, and has MUCH to offer visitors. If you have time to spend here, grab some chicken riggies or Utica Greens, a Saranac, or have dinner at The Taylor and the Cook, or the historic Chesterfield (where chicken riggies came from). The Utica Brewery is a very cool place to check out if you have time, as is the historic train station (Union Station). All these places are 2-3 miles away though - not a whole lot to see within walking distance (that I know of).
Check out this blog - a guy from Rochester spent a weekend in Utica and documented some highlights of his trip.

griffd - thanks for posting this. My 85d will arrive late March. I'm in New Hartford. Will look forward to gliding along I90 from Boston to Buffalo gas free. Also enjoyed the link to Utica a Day of Fun.
Yes. I live in New Hartford, and drove by today. I thought it was not activated because I had trouble removing the cord. After an embarrassing call to Tesla Motors I found out it sticks before getting any use. After rotating it I was able to charge my car. They told me on the phone it was activated yesterday. I personally wish the Syracuse Supercharger was up, and I wish that a Supercharger would be put in Binghamton since I commonly go that way.
