The results of the region wide phone survey completed in March by the Center of Community Studies at JCC will be available later this month. The goal of the survey was to collect residents' and landowners' perceptions and opinions about a variety of issues and opportunities in the region. In May and June of this year, with results of the survey in-hand, the Commission and Councils of Government will convene seven community forums throughout the Tug Hill region to share survey results with Tug Hill citizens and local officials, as well as gather further responses to the issues addressed. Prior to the public forums, the full survey results will be publicized as well as posted on the Commission and Council of Governments' websites for public review. The forums will provide an opportunity for public opinion leaders and citizens to add depth to the survey by sharing their thoughts and concerns about the results, the region in general, and how agencies, organizations, communities and individuals can work to respond. The information gathered through the survey and forums will be incorporated into the Tug Hill Commission's 2009 Strategic Planning process, and will be used by NOCCOG and the other Councils of Government to evaluate our programs and priorities
To date, the following forum dates and locations have been scheduled in the NOCCOG area:
T/V Boonville Municipal Building - Tuesday, May 26, 6:30 p.m. - 9 p.m.
Town of Lee Town Hall - Tuesday, June 16, 6:30-9:00p.m.
