It was standing room only as nearly 50 Sixth Ward residents gathered for the City of Oneonta Planning Commission meeting on the evening of Wednesday, September 17 to discuss an affordable housing project proposed by Rehabilitation Support Services.

Marcela Micucci, chair of the Planning Commission, made it clear at the beginning of the meeting that no decisions would be made about the site plan that night.
