Opinion Looking for a Bright 2015
Schoharie County has finally logged some wins in 2014. We've seen substantial improvement in Schoharie, Sharon, and Middleburgh and Guilford Mills has finally been sold. Changes in the Planning Department and hopes for a better budget next year is setting the backdrop for possible success in 2015.
However, the lessons learned in 2014 must be applied next year. Hopefully the County Board can finally put away infighting and work together to cement the gains of recent business expansion. For the first time in a long time, the general trend is that unemployment is falling and more businesses are opening.
Perhaps the biggest lesson is that while there are many with potential ideas to fix the many problems in the county, not every person can be front and center. Too much ego and personal agendas always seem to get in the way of cooperation, especially in efforts to one-up.
Here's hoping 2015 will be the year of Schoharie County.
