This event is sponsored by Cornell University/Cornell Cooperative Extension Marcellus Shale Team and in partnership with Cornell Cooperative Extension Associations of Schuyler and Tompkins Counties and key partners.

The educational event is open to everyone but targeted specifically to elected officials, planning staff, planning board members and community task force members.

The presentation will review key issues that will need to be addressed by municipalities that are seeking to monitor the issues, minimize or avoid negative impacts, and take advantage of any potential benefits. Municipalities are facing a complex array of possible effects and issues. Awareness, fact gathering, and planning in the face of uncertainty are important elements of community preparation.

The event will feature a brief presentation followed by a panel question and answer period. Panel members include Rocky Kambo (Schuyler County CCE), Sharon Anderson (Tompkins County CCE), Meghan Jacquet (Southern Tier Central Planner) and Darby Kiley (Environmental Planner, Town of Ulysses).
