📰 News we're reading
• DeWitt Town Board change zoning laws for possibility of a Costco (cnycentral.com) — DeWitt officials have changed zoning laws to attract a big-box wholesale store, potentially a Costco, to sites off I-481 or Erie Boulevard, which could shift shopping habits for East Syracuse residents now using the BJ’s just over the town line. With the nearest Costco currently in Camillus, the move aims to bring more warehouse retail options closer to East Syracuse neighborhoods. 
• Section III flag football playoff preview: Favorites, challengers, top players in Class A, B, C (syracuse.com) — Flag football fans in East Syracuse will want to watch how East Syracuse Minoa stacks up in the Class B playoffs, where Fayetteville-Manlius enters as the top seed despite a losing record.
