Chobani's revised factory plans won approval and moved the plant farther from homes. Chobani's roughly $1.2 billion plant at 150 Perimeter Road, on the Griffiss Business and Technology Park, is one of the largest food-manufacturing investments in the country and is expected to create more than 1,000 jobs. The plant was already approved, but the company came back with another round of revisions, presented by attorney Kevin McAuliffe of the firm Barclay Damon. The headline change was dropping a planned fruit-processing building. The company was also able to reshape the site and move the nearest building back to 684 feet from the property line, roughly 250 to 300 feet farther from the closest homes on Bell Road and Bel Air than before. Additionally, the company consolidated several buildings, more than doubled the on-site space for trucks to line up to keep them from backing up, and set a 25 mph speed limit inside the property. This is well below the 40 mph its noise study had assumed, which should make the operation quieter than the study predicted. The plant's overall footprint and its 1,000-plus parking spaces didn't change, and the city's planners said the revisions were minor with no substantive issues. The board approved them unanimously.

Chobani has been sitting down with the neighbors. After a meeting on the project last November, residents asked to talk, so in January the company sent notices to everyone on Bell Road and Bel Air and held a meeting at its new recruiting office in Air City Lofts. About 20 people walked through the updated plans and asked questions about the operation. Chobani gave neighbors three points of contact and said it expects to hold more meetings as construction ramps up. One resident used the public-comment period simply to thank the company, saying it had gone further than it had to, and board members described Chobani as a good corporate citizen.

A Black River Boulevard subdivision got the OK. The board approved a three-lot minor subdivision at 1814 Black River Boulevard, reorganizing existing commercial property by splitting two tax parcels into three. The item had been carried over from January while the board waited on a comment from Oneida County, which came back with no objection. The board's main question was whether shared access and upkeep were locked in across all three lots, which the applicant confirmed. With the lot dimensions meeting code, the board issued a "negative declaration" (the finding that a project has no significant environmental impact) and approved the split.

The board re-elected its leaders. As it does each year, the board held its election of officers, returning Mark Esposito as chairperson and Joseph Calandra as vice chairperson, both unanimously. Calandra had been called away from the meeting on a work emergency which is why every vote that night was 4–0 rather than 5–0.
