NORWICH — Chenango County Department of Planning and Development, recently started to undertake developing the Chenango County 2050 Vision plan for economic development, community services of broadband, housing, transportation, and renewable energy; to combat many challenges.

Director of the Chenango County Department of Planning and Development Shane Butler said, “We're encouraging the public to participate with community input so we can address new technology and infrastructure needs and become more self-sustainable; while also super-charging our economy of the future.”

Chenango County residents can visit www.chenangocounty2050vision.com to see how to become involved.

“Help us gather community input by hosting a Chenango County 2050 Vision Meeting in a Box,” he added. “Meetings in a Box are perfect for groups like non-profit boards or committees, municipal boards, friend groups, families, etc. Your input will guide the future of Chenango County.”

Butler said a meeting-in-a-box is a package of facilitator materials for guiding residents and community leaders who would like to conduct their own discussions and visioning sessions with local groups and neighbors. The box includes project information, facilitator talking points, and tools for gathering and reporting suggestions.
