Putnam to Start Development Partnership with Danbury

Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell will present the State of the County address March 10, at Putnam County Golf Course in Mahopac.

Prior to the address, there will be a Putnam County Market Place which will open at 5:30 p.m.

RSVP for the event online here.

In a press release, Odell said she has chosen to highlight a particular theme for the year: 2016 will be “The Year of Business Development.”

“One of the greatest secrets out there is that Putnam County is the perfect place to live, work and play,’” said Odell in the prepared statement. “We can no longer keep the secret to ourselves. Putnam County has so much to offer the business community. Business development is about promoting and supporting our existing businesses, encouraging companies to consider expanding or relocating to Putnam County and identifying solutions to the obstacles, such as infrastructure, sewer and water, which have previously prevented growth in our business community.”

Danbury Mayor Mark D. Boughton will be joining Odell to unveil a partnership between Putnam County and the City of Danbury for a Regional Economic Initiative.

The Putnam County Market Place will highlight businesses, organizations and not-for-profits from throughout Putnam.

County officials said organizations that would like to participate in the Putnam County Market Place should contact Heidi Kuhland at 845-808-1150 x49406 or Heidi.kuhland@putnamcountyny.gov.
