New York State OASAS has provided funding for a Community Planner, Earl Greene, to work in Tioga County and will be presenting information pertinent in building and sustaining a coalition.
Tioga County has programs underway to address this issue and this meeting will highlight and incorporate these programs into a more aggressive and cohesive group.
Martha Sauerbrey, Tioga County Legislative chair commented, “This is a priority and I am looking for you to support this effort,” and said that she intends on being actively involved in this process and will work to insure that these efforts are effective.
