Town already has , and has pntentioai for , Agri - business . Agri, - business bung something that you don ' t necessarily put in an industrial park . Cottage industry and Agri - business as two major developments that we could took et , don ' t lend themselves to what t he Members have been talking about in the past in terms of place - ment ( in ; commercial park , light industrial park ) . Pops mentioned t hat they had talked about keeping Agriculture as an exempt use throughout the Town . what does Agri -- business really mean ? It isn ' t just agriculture necessarily . is it only just growing things ? It could be technologies said Perri . It could be research said K rys . If you are looking for Agri- business to support agriculture in t his area it ' s never going to happen said Budd . The Ag market is shrinking . As far as research , their, emphasis is on theory , not practicum said Darr . I don ' t see how we could be any more forth coming then to have an agricultural exemption said xrys . The closest t hing we have would be Neheneks and Clock and beCleux and they have all downsized . It would be good to invite them to e forum and let t hem know that the Town won ' t stymie them if they want to . e pond . Their market isn ' t here though said Dan . The Cottage industry em - ployers don ' t need an industrial park said Gerri . Expansion areas would be key for accessory buildings though . If the property changed h ands it could end up being additional domicile space , said hrpe . The other suggestion of beefing up the tourism doesn ' t require an industrial site said Perri . D an said he really thought going over all the existing businesses and listing them was excellent . Terri agreed . P r s called Tom Ni, eherkorn . The work on the water / sewer needs of the area will be ready in April . It might be e good idea to get input from businesses between now and then . Combining ail this in - formation will tell US what is necessary and where , she said . Pups mentioned that because of her involvement with e daycare renter , she became familiar with ARC grants . hoe person that is in the group that decides which application gets bumped on for further consider - ation is Mike Stamm . He is a perfect person to develop a good grant as he knows the system . There are people from Binghamton that are w illing to help . She is thrilled that impartial people are working o n the report Due to zoning , the Shur. Save area would be good to cluster commercial said Krs . The sad thing is that there is Village water o n the property next he the fairgrounds said Budd .

G erri was really curious about the low unemployment rate . Dan said t hat they ' re only counting the ones that are registered ; that it is an arbitrary number . They ' re working at Cornell for low wages ( their h ourly wages are not good ) . The Town of Ithaca ' s fire fighting budget is being eaten up by them .
