NORWICH – The county is getting its money’s worth when it invests in the Chenango County Soil and Water District. At least that’s the sentiment of a letter that the organization addressed to the County Board of Supervisors earlier this month.
In a statement to the Board, Chenango County Soil and Water District Manager Lance Lockwood said the county’s support of the Soil and Water District is appreciated and “returned back to us many times over.”
In 2015, the Soil and Water District facilitated spending of nearly $1.8 million in Chenango County to implement best practices in agricultural management. In return, entities that utilize services of the District benefitted exponentially, said Lockwood.
