Your Stories Q&A: After years of no construction, is Pizza Hut still returning to Cortland?
An update to a story we first brought you more than two years ago on Pizza Hut returning to Cortland.
In 2022, the Town of Cortlandville approved a plan for Pizza Hut to move into the former Jazzercise building on Groton Ave.
Viewers have been emailing the Your Stories Team wondering why construction hasn't started. Has Pizza Hut changed its mind?
Town officials told us they're not sure where the project stands but have not been told by Pizza Hut that it won't move forward. Once the project gets approval from the town, it's out of their hands.
The town did add that there's currently no active construction permit on file. One would need to be obtained for construction to begin.
The YS Team reached out to Pizza Hut's media relations for an update, but we have yet to hear back.
According to planning documents that were approved years ago, the plan for the new Pizza Hut was to be pickup only, no seating or dine-in option would be available.
If it does end up being built, this will be a return to Cortland for the chain. Many people who live in the area have fond memories of dining at the former Pizza Hut located off Tompkins Street, near the Crown City Cinema.
We'll keep you posted!

Trump tax law could cause Medicare cuts if Congress doesn't act, CBO says
WASHINGTON — The federal budget deficits caused by President Trump's tax and spending law could trigger automatic cuts to Medicare if Congress does not act, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office reported Friday. The CBO estimates that Medicare, the federal health insurance program for Americans over age 65, could potentially see as much as $491 billion in cuts from 2027 to 2034 if Congress does not act to mitigate a 2010 law that forces across-the-board cuts to many federal programs once legislation increases the federal deficit. The latest report from CBO showed how Trump's signature tax and spending law could put new pressure on federal programs that are bedrocks of the American social safety net. Trump and Republicans pledged not to cut Medicare as part of the legislation, but the estimated $3.4 trillion that the law adds to the federal deficit over the next decade means that many Medicare programs could see cuts. In the past, Congress has always acted to mitigate cuts to Medicare and other programs, but it would take some bipartisan cooperation to do so. Democrats, who requested the analysis from CBO, jumped on the potential cuts. 'Republicans knew their tax breaks for billionaires would force over half a trillion dollars in Medicare cuts — and they did it anyway,' Rep. Brendan Boyle of Pennsylvania, the top Democrat on the House Budget Committee, said in a statement. 'American families simply cannot afford Donald Trump's attacks on Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare.' Hospitals in rural parts of the country are already grappling with cuts to Medicaid, which is available to people with low incomes, and cuts to Medicare could exacerbate their shortfalls. As Republicans muscled the bill through Congress and are now selling it to voters back home, they have been critical of how the CBO has analyzed the bill. They have also argued that the tax cuts will spur economic growth and pointed to $50 billion in funding for rural hospitals that was included in the package. Groves writes for the Associated Press.

Warren Buffett Sparks Massive Rally in Troubled UnitedHealth Stock
Aug 15 - UnitedHealth Group (NYSE:UNH) shares soared 10% Friday morning after Warren Buffett (Trades, Portfolio)'s Berkshire Hathaway revealed a stake of 5 million shares, valued at roughly $1.6 billion. The move sent the stock up 12% in morning trading, marking its best day in five years and adding about 209 points to the Dow Jones Industrial Average at the open. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Sign with UNH. Buffett's vote of confidence comes as UnitedHealth faces a challenging year. The stock had fallen nearly 50% through Thursday, weighed down by rising healthcare costs, a Justice Department investigation into Medicare billing practices, and CEO Andrew Witty's recent departure. The company had also pulled its annual earnings outlook in May, and its updated 2025 guidance fell short of Wall Street estimates. Legendary investors Michael Burry (Trades, Portfolio) and David Tepper (Trades, Portfolio) also disclosed sizable stakes in the insurer, signaling renewed interest in the sector. George Hill, healthcare analyst at Deutsche Bank, commented that Berkshire's investment could act as a near-term trading floor for managed care stocks, reassuring other investors that the space is safe to consider again.
