Onondaga County – 3 Oswego County – 0!
If you remember, back over a year ago I asked why Onondaga and not Oswego for the Inland Port. At that time, there was only one area in Onondaga County looking to be the site of the Inland Port and its almost 2,000 high-paying jobs. It was Jamesville. The residents spoke out against it and didn’t want it in their backyards. The people of Fulton and Oswego County want it.

Residents who have a 315 or 680 phone number will soon need to enter the area code for all calls – including calls within the same area code.
