ONEONTA – Otsego Now CEO Jody Zakrevsky is planning a series of “town hall” meetings around the county, beginning at 5 p.m. Thursday, March 14, at Oneonta Town Hall in West Oneonta, he announced today.

Topics will include energy, but also how to obtain funding through state CFAs (consolidated funding applications), and economic- and community-development topics of interest.  Questions and comments from the public will be encouraged.

Zakrevsky said, while he’s done a lot of public speaking, this is his first experience with the “town meeting” idea.

He said he was prompted to schedule these by people telling him they were unclear about recent energy-related economic-development issues that been debated at other public meetings.

While it hasn’t been locked yet, members of the Otsego Now board of directors are wlcome to join him, Zakrevsky said.
