County legislators still considering new economic development agency

AURELIUS -- Cayuga County legislators are still considering a new economic development agency despite the fact that private money is now apparently off the table.

And some legislators expressed hope Thursday that the county can still secure outside funding to launch the project.

During a special meeting of the Legislature's Planning and Economic Development Committee, county officials discussed the future of local development. Legislators and members of the public heard a proposal to revive the Cayuga County Development Corporation to have it serve as a "first-stop" option for parties looking to do business in the county.
