Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney proposes new plan to stop suburban sprawl | syracuse.com

Quote "n 1998, Onondaga County adopted a development plan that was supposed to discourage suburban sprawl by limiting new residential subdivisions to areas already served by public sewers.
It didn't work. Suburban towns eager to boost property tax revenues continued to allow development in rural areas. And the county itself routinely made exceptions to its own policy, extending county sewer lines to accommodate builders."
