Are there plans in the works to house migrant workers at the former Hillside campus in the town of Varick?
That was the new piece of information that came out during Tuesday’s meeting of the Seneca County Board of Supervisors. The apparent plan was exposed during a testy exchange between multiple supervisors and leaders of the Seneca County Industrial Development Agency.
Fayette Supervisor Cindy Lorenzetti, Romulus Supervisor David Hayes, Seneca Falls Supervisor Mike Ferrara and Varick Supervisor (Chairman) Bob Hayssen all voiced different concerns about the sale and overall operation of the IDA.
Supervisors Lorenzetti and Hayes both voiced concern about knowledge that the IDA would have had about the prospect of migrant workers being housed at the former Hillside campus as the sale process was playing out. At the center of their concerns is the ongoing lack of communication between the IDA and Board of Supervisors.
