According to New York State Law, members of municipal Planning Boards and Zoning Boards of Appeals must complete a minimum of four (4) hours of training on topics relevant to their respective roles as decision makers for their communities. The Town/Village Board is responsible for setting the parameters of what is considered acceptable training to receive credit. In order to facilitate this we have scheduled the following opportunities to take advantage of meeting these requirements and understanding land use issues that the County is facing. If you have a topic that you feel should be addressed in an upcoming event, please email us at planning@co.sullivan.ny.us.
