County officials are connecting people and communities within Herkimer County to share solutions and spread the word about the great things happening around the County.

The State of Herkimer County Summit will bring together leaders from across Herkimer County to hear findings of the countywide community development study and plan, celebrate successes and innovative projects, while developing a collaborative action agenda for 2023.
