County gets $1M in federal grant money
Cayuga County has been awarded a $1 million Community Development Block Grant for programs that provide affordable housing and create jobs through the expansion and retention of business, according to a news release from U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer.
The grant program, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, provides funds to state and local governments to help develop viable urban communities by providing housing and expanding economic opportunities. The funds can be used for a variety of projects, such as infrastructure and community groups.
Residents must get permits for pools
Auburn residents have to obtain a building permit for the installation of a pool with at least 24 inches of water depth. Residents need a permit the first time the pool goes up, as long as following years the pool is in the same location. There is an one-time fee associated with the permit.
The yard must have a fence or barrier at least four feet high. Pools should have an alarm. Questions can be sent to the code enforcement office at 255-4111.
