Mayor Tom Gillen announced Monday night that U.S. Congressman John Katko will host a listening session in Oswego. Each listening session focuses on a unique topic, providing a platform for a discussion of districtwide priorities. The Oswego session will deal with economic development in Oswego County. It will be held Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Oswego City Hall,
13 W. Oneida St., the mayor said.

The city still has a developer and is moving ahead with the best interest of the city in mind, the mayor said. Two lawsuits brought against the city lost; as did the two appeals, he added. Going forward, the plans will be totally transparent, he said and urged residents to contact him or the councilors for more information.

City officials caution residents that water pipes may still freeze. DPW crews continue to restore services to dozens of residents. The process of removing tons of snow from clogged city streets continues as well. The state of emergency conditions will continue a few more days, the mayor said.
