TARRYTOWN, New York --- A half-day workshop on governmental consolidation and the sharing of services between municipalities is planned for May 27 from 1 to 4 pm at historic Lyndhurst on Route 9 in Tarrytown.
A hot topic at all levels of government right now, a discussion of shared services should be of interest to elected officials, staff members and businesses who work with local and county government.
The workshop will include a presentation from NYS Department of State on how to share services and how to qualify for funding. A panel of representatives from three communities that are working right now on sharing certain municipal services will report on their experiences and what they have learned. The workshop will also include an update on research and development being led by IBM of innovative programs that can save municipalities money.
