The board also authorized a speed study request to extend the 30-mile-per-hour speed limit to the southern end of Number Nine Road (County Route 50). The adopted resolution authorizes the town clerk to file the required New York State Vehicle and Traffic Form with Madison County to request a lower maximum speed limit for the section of the road from Wellington Drive South to the intersection with Ballina Road. According to Supervisor Kyle Reger, the request is in response to calls from concerned residents. Reger will hold his next monthly office hours on Saturday, July 27 from 9 a.m. to noon at the New Woodstock Free Library. Community members are invited to sit down with him and discuss any town issue. The town board typically meets on the second Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m. in the Gothic Cottage.

Small businesses invited to share experiences at roundtable discussion By kate Hill Staff Writer
Local business owners are invited to join Village of Cazenovia Trustee Jennifer Lutter on July 15 at 7 p.m. for a small business roundtable at the Cazenovia Public Library. Businesses will have the opportunity to dis-
cuss their experiences in the village. Topics will include obstacles to starting, maintaining, or growing a business, and ideas for the future. “I will be there to facilitate, listen, and gather information and will not be representing the official views of the village or village board,” said Lutter.
The new village trustee holds a master’s degree in city and regional planning from Cornell University and is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners. She has over 15 years of community development experience, mostly focused on small towns and business district improve-
ment. She served as executive director of the Partnership for Community Development (PCD) in Hamilton, NY, for nearly seven years. In that role, she launched Madison County’s first certified New York State Business Incubator, among many other planning initiatives.
For her work at PCD, she was named to the 2019 Central New York Business Journal 40 Under Forty list. “I hope it will be a casual and informal opportunity for businesses to share their experiences and ideas,” Lutter said. “I have done similar roundtables for other business
groups and found them very interesting and enlightening, so I want to do this in Cazenovia to get a better understanding of what businesses are experiencing.” The event is free and open to all. Questions can be directed to Lutter at lutter4caz@gmail.com.
