ITHACA, N.Y. (WHCU) – There’s no need for alarm when you look to the sky next week in the City of Ithaca.

City officials say a firm they’ve contracted with, Barton and Loguidice, will deploy multiple drones on Wednesday to collect video of the four creeks that run through the city. The aerial footage will be used to help support the design of the city’s flood mitigation project.
