TOWN OF THOMPSON – The Sullivan County Partnership, Thursday, brought together business people, developers, and local municipal officials to provide them with a tutorial on how to work through the maze of government red tape.
Among the more than 100 attendees was Parish Martin, a member of the Monticello Village Zoning Board of Appeals.
“We see all of the various elements kind of come together specifically on the development side. Sitting on the planning side you are looking at it from a completely different perspective,” he said. “Promoting economic development is always something we want to do in our areas. We want to be broader; we want to have businesses or room for a diverse number of businesses to climb here and to adjust to our ever-changing atmosphere here and landscape.”
Partnership President Marc Baez said the purpose of the summit was to discuss what it takes to do development in Sullivan County from its initial idea phase, the approval phase, to its final approval to the construction side.
