Happy National County Government Month!
Counties across NYS are showcasing the many ways they serve their communities.
National County Government Month (NCGM), held each April, is a celebration of county government. Counties are encouraged to schedule activities to connect with constituents and highlight effective programs. It's the perfect opportunity to raise public awareness and understanding about the various services your county provides to the community.
Follow NYSAC on Twitter for County Government Month highlights (@NYSCounties) and be sure to enter our County Photo Contest!
