CORTLAND, NY (CortacaToday) — The creation of Cortland County’s first strategic development plan still requires feedback from residents. 

 It’s called Elevate Cortland, and it replaces a comprehensive plan from the 1970s. Trish Hiemstra oversees the Cortland County Planning Department.

Hiemstra says a final draft is coming soon. 

Her goal is presenting the draft to the Cortland County Legislature before year’s end.
