Cayuga Community College will ask for bids to see who can come up with the next home for its rapidly growing Fulton campus. The school’s plans to move to the former P&C supermarket were foiled, they believe, by their current landlord. Now, they’ll take offers from anyone who believes they have the land and building space necessary to house a school that one official says is “bustin’ at the seams.”
A minor earthquake rumbled through the area Wednesday afternoon.
Those who felt the shaking said it was mild.
Agencies across the state reported feeling the shake.
Federal earthquake monitors so far report only one earthquake in the region, centered about half an hour north of Ottawa.
The quake has an initial magnitude of 5.2, making it a moderately strong earthquake, and likely to be felt so far from Ottawa.
An earthquake of magnitude 5 on the Richter scale can cause building damage in the immediate area of the quake. About 800 such earthquakes happen around the world each year.
