CHENANGO COUNTY – In accordance with a new mandate associated with the 2017-18 New York State Budget, Chenango County Board of Supervisors Chairman Lawrence N. Wilcox has given notice to the public that he is "...in the process of developing the Chenango County County-wide Shared Services Property Tax Savings Plan."

The new law states that in an effort to promote consolidation where appropriate, Wilcox should "regularly consult with, and take recommendations from, the representatives of each collective bargaining unit of the County, and the cities, towns, and villages."

Consequently, Wilcox has announced a Public Hearing to take place on June 12 at noon in the Board of Supervisors Chambers to allow the public an opportunity to comment on the prospect of County-wide shared services for the purpose of producing real property tax savings.
