The Town of Cicero will pay the city of Syracuse up to $6,000, including fringe-benefit costs.

“With this agreement, the Town of Cicero will share grant research and writing staff with the city,” Venesky said in the news release. “City employees will help Cicero identify potential monies for projects that will benefit Cicero residents. In turn, Cicero’s participation will help to lower the cost to city residents who are paying to identify the same types of grant money for similar projects.
