The Local Planning Committee (LPC) is comprised of local and regional leaders, stakeholders, and community representatives intended to represent diverse interests. The LPC oversees the planning process and the development of the SIP. LPC meetings are working meetings for committee members but are open to the public to observe.

The committee members are:

Co-Chairs:
Brian Borchik, Mayor	Austin Wheelock, Operation Oswego County
Members
John Adolfi	Sheila Dion
Brenden Backus	Natalie Curran
Amy Boyzuck	Paul Griser
Sally Woolson

Two public meetings will be held during the planning process. These interactive meetings are open to everyone to participate. The consultant team will provide more information on the planning process and ask for community feedback on vision, goals, and potential projects.
A pop-up event will bring information about NY Forward to a local event to help spread the word. Look for us at an upcoming event to learn more and share your thoughts.
An Open Call for Projects will be released in June. All project sponsors will be required to submit a form describing their project to be considered by the LPC for inclusion in the list of recommended projects. Check back here for more information.
