Merger talks have been under way in the Ilion, Mohawk, and Herkimer school districts, with the last community forum taking place in late August. A straw vote takes place Sept. 12, followed by a statutory referendum on Oct. 18.
The districts have cited tight budgets and dwindling funds as major reasons behind the merger consideration, and the chamber, in a news release, agrees that the rising costs of schools hold back the region economically and affect business growth.
