SYRACUSE -ÊOne step closer.

Tuesday, at a public hearing, Syracuse Town Council voted to commence the application procedure for Community Focus Funds for the community center. The funds, if awarded, will go towards the senior citizens' portion of the building.

The community center building will be a total of 25,000 square feet, with an approximate total cost of $2.3 million. Lakeland Youth Center would use approximately 48 percent of the total building.

In other business, the council approved the application procedure for a change in health insurance from John Alden to Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Chris Cotton, the town's insurance representative, said the change can save the town as much as $2,000 per month.

Once it gets to the insurance underwriting, if the insurance will be more than their current provider, the council can decide not to change insurance.

Discussion on the Economic Development Income Tax will be held at the regular town council's Feb. 15 meeting.

Council members include Bill Hane, Bill Cutter, Barbara Carwile, Carol Koble and Paul Stoelting. [[In-content Ad]]
