AATV Hires Three Town Planners
With most towns lacking the ability to hire their own dedicated town planners, the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages (AATV) has hired three town planners, who are split among the towns needing planning help. They are billed out at a reasonable rate to cover the expense of hiring them. A grant from the Department of State got the program started and paid for the planners while they were just getting going.
