Thanks, Pat The Regional Councils referenced below have been set up by Governor Cuomo . We are part of the Southern Tier RC . RC' s are competing across the state for economic development funding . For those in the Town of Lansing who are interested in particular economic development issues such as the need for funding for sewer projects , venture capital , an improved regional transportation system , broadband expansion in rural areas , etc . , this forum will provide the opportunity to put those issues before representatives of the Regional Council . d. The Southern Tier RC will be developing a plan for this region that will compete for state funding with the plans from other regions . This is our chance to have our priorities included by letting our voices be heard at the public forum .
