As we prepare our schedule for training opportunities, we want to hear what you are interested in.  Do you want to attend a Planned Unit Development training session or would you rather learn what your role and duty is as a planning or zoning board member?  These are just some examples of training that can be conducted.  Please contact Jill Babinski at either 344-2580 ext. 5471 or jbabinski@co.genesee.ny.us to let her know what training you think is necessary.
