UTICA - The Genesis Group held its monthly meeting at the Hotel Utica Thursday morning. A main topic - plans for overhauling the North-South arterial.

Organizers invited the Department of Transportation's Regional Design Engineer to show group members the 15 possibilities being tossed around for revamping Utica's North-South arterial. And the group had many questions for the D.O.T. representative.

"From a Genesis perspective...an organization that's promoting the area... this type of project is economic development...certainly quality of life issues and to spend 50 plus million dollars, a lot of things can come from that," said Raymond Durso, Executive Director of the Genesis Group.

Also at the meeting, the Genesis Group honored their oldest member - singing happy birthday to Jim Kilmartin, who was celebrating his 91st birthday.
