WAER s Chris Bolt reports on Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon s vision for the area in 2021.
The county’s path through the COVID pandemic - which started just a little more than a year ago - was front and center in a video presentation that laid out the first COVID case last year, shutting down of businesses and schools, setting up a COVID hotline, drive-thru testing, then slow reopening and vaccinations. McMahon however spent a lot more time talking about how the county struggled forward.
“The Onondaga County Civic Development Corporation offered bridge loans to small businesses. Onondaga County’s Industrial Development Corporation set aside half-a-million dollars to assist small businesses in offsetting the cost of PPE, HVAC upgrades and other necessary measures.”
