About the Cortland County Strategic Development Plan

Cortland County is creating a Strategic Development Plan that outlines visions and strategies for future growth throughout the County. The plan will act as a guiding document for County policy making and detail how to attract new investment and negotiate development deals that enhance quality of life across the County.

The plan is built on the foundation of an inclusive public engagement process, this plan will ensure that the community is in control of its own destiny as it relates to the goals and aspirations of those who call Cortland County home.

Throughout this process, the County has hosted events and meetings to gather input from residents, property owners, business owners, local elected officials, and various other stakeholders. Keep an eye on the Cortland County Planning Department’s Facebook page and the calendar below to see where you can share your insights and vision for the future.
