County rep: NY250 Commission formed; county broadband survey underway
Summary
County Representative Meg Kennedy said the County established an NY250 Commission that can pursue New York State funding, and urged residents to complete a county broadband-availability survey posted via the County Planning Department website; she also warned federal budget cuts may affect state-required programs.
County Representative Meg Kennedy told the Milford Town Board that the County has established an NY250 Commission to pursue state funding opportunities tied to that initiative. She asked residents to participate in a countywide broadband-availability survey and explained how to find the survey on the County website (Departments → Planning Department → Broadband → Access Project → Survey).
Kennedy also said the county is uncertain how federal budget changes will affect county or state programs, noting that some federal cuts could shift costs to the county if the State does not cover the difference. The comments were presented as informational updates and did not include board direction or votes.
The county report was delivered during the meeting’s county representative segment and serves as a call for residents to respond to the broadband survey and for board members to track potential county-level budget impacts.
