SYRACUSE  —  Two of the three members of the Syracuse Economic Development Commission met for the first time Tuesday night, April 16.

Virgina Cazier, Syracuse clerk-treasurer, was elected secretary while David Wilkinson, Syracuse town manager, was elected president.

Kim Cates, who was absent, was elected vice president.

The EDC opened a public hearing for taxable economic development bonds for the Rabbit Ridge development. No one from the public attended the meeting to comment, so the hearing was closed.

The EDC then approved resolution 2024-01 approving a tax increment finance bond for Rabbit Ridge.

Dennis Otten, an attorney with Bose, McKinney and Evans, explained the economic development commission makes recommendations to the Syracuse Town Council regarding projects and funding.
