In May 2018, the Village of Minoa Board of Trustees unanimously approved a resolution in support of maintaining Interstate 81’s current highway route in the City of Syracuse.
The resolution states: “Although several options for dealing with the aging portions of I-81 have been discussed, I-81’s current Interstate Highway designation through the City of Syracuse must be preserved, because altering designation could harm businesses along I-81’s path and potentially result in loss of jobs for area workers.”
