Hello all, Welcome to over 125 participating community members! Here are some thoughts to consider for the weekend. 1. Cazenovia Town & Village Meetings Participate in the decisions that will matter to our future. Sunday (TOMORROW) 9/21 12-3pm Town Supervisor, Kyle Reger open office hours. 7 Albany Street Take a moment to check in, ask questions and ask him to represent our concerns with the Madison County Board of Supervisors. Monday 9/22 6pm Village Historic Preservation Architectural Meeting. 90 Albany Street Agenda includes "Discussion regarding local designation of former Cazenovia Campus". 2. Weekend Homework Petition-drafting, letter writing, information sharing, and inviting new folks to this email list are the work of this weekend. While we finalize petition language, here are three simple but important things you can do right now: - Volunteer Let us know via this email [email protected] if you want to participate in planning upcoming actions. We are growing our advisory group with folks who have interests and are savvy about the legal, policy, equity, public information, community, and historic aspects of this issue. - Write a Personal Letter or Email Send your concerns to the Village Board, Town Board, Madison County Supervisors, and 9 Fresh leadership. Even a short, respectful note that asks for transparency and a pause in the process makes a difference. - Share Verified Information Use the ARC-C blog post as your source when talking with friends, neighbors, or online groups. This helps counter misinformation with facts gathered from community meetings.
Together, we have already shown how much our community cares. Let’s keep our focus and our credibility strong. - Grow Our Network Forward this email to at least three friends or neighbors and invite them to join the list by emailing [email protected]. Every new voice strengthens our collective call for accountability. Together, these small steps keep momentum building while we prepare our next actions. 3. Misinformation Madison County has recently circulated a “misinformation” note on social media, and Mayor Kurt Wheeler has shared an email offering his perspective. These messages label community concerns as “misinformation" and the Mayor's message positions his role as a single source of truth, reassuring supporters that the process is legal and inevitable. This blurs the real issue: the lack of authentic public input and planning, and our movement remains focused on ensuring that local residents, not outside forces, shape our own future. We want to underscore that if the Village, Town, and County had authentically engaged in a public planning process from the beginning, giving residents the time and information to understand the impacts of a county municipal hub in the heart of our historic village, we would not be in this position of having to dig for facts ourselves. Our coalition continues to call for transparency, a pause in the process, and a true community-led planning effort. Until that happens, confusion and mistrust will remain. Thank you for continuing to show up, ask questions, and share accurate information with your neighbors. 4.
