SYRACUSE - Can the town of Syracuse afford a $250,000 bond issue? Tuesday, Syracuse Town Marshal Tom Perzanowski told the town council that Project Hoosier Safety is finally going to get off the ground.The first phase should be completed in 2003 for northern Indiana.The project is the upgrade of law enforcement radio frequencies to 800 megahertz so all police agencies in the state can communicate with one another. For Syracuse to upgrade its dispatch center to the new frequency, Perzanowski said, the cost will be $250,000 to get started.Most departments who are going to be a part of the project plan to pay for it through a bond issue.Syracuse did not budget the money for the project for 2003. He said if the town doesn't get into the project this year, it may be a while before they can get on board.Tuesday, he said, he was just presenting the idea to the council. "It's out there for you to think about," he said.
