County briefs
By Donna Comella
When the Wayne County Board of Supervisors met Tuesday, officials:
- Heard a presentation about the Wayne County Quality of Life Coalition. The group
began to organize over a year ago under the guidance of Mike Petrus, Work Experience
Coordinator of the Newark Central School District. Petrus, who is also Immediate Past
President of the Greater Newark Chamber of Commerce, started the coalition to focus on the
Route 31 corridor, but the group soon became to include other communities as well.
The group now includes members of the business community, school district
representatives and government officials; and goals include fostering a "mutual
respect and spirit of cooperation" among such agencies and organizations.
- Discussed re-issuing bonds at a lower interest rate to save money on the Nye Rd. Health
Complex. The board will also consider paying up to $750,000 to ready second floor
space that may be leased to Clifton Springs Hospital and Clinic.
- Okayed an agreement that will allow the Lyons Heritage Society to occupy the
Hotchkiss Building. Given several years ago to the county by Anne Hotchkiss, the historic
building has been vacant, opening only for rare tours and special occasions.
In return for the building's use, the Heritage Society will attend to routine interior
and grounds maintenance, cleaning, etc.
- Changed next month's meeting date so several supervisors could get in some hunting
time. Deer season opens Monday, November 17; supervisors will meet Thursday, November
20.
