Oswego Council defunds Planning and Zoning Department
Oswego Common Council voted 5 to 2 to defund the Planning and Zoning Department and its top administrator Amy Birdsall, shifting duties to multiple city hall departments in 2017. The move trims over $100,000 from the budget amid complaints of slow permits, despite Birdsall’s role in securing state grants including a $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative.
