The Cazenovia Village Board has decided to move forward with the acquisition of 6 Farnham St. On the evening of March 7, after an executive session, board members agreed to pay $91,750 for the parcel adjacent to the Cazenovia Fire Department. “The property is important to the department,” Village Trustee David Porter said. “It will allow them to respond more quickly to fires and emergencies.” The acquisition will be helpful to the fire department, as volunteer members have struggled with parking in the past. The firehouse’s location at 127 Albany St. did not allow much space for parked cars while emergency vehicles were being dispatched. Neighboring businesses, Buyea’s Hardware and Colligan & Sons Services Center, cooperatively See Farnham, page 13
