Schoharie County, founded in 1795, is nestled in Central New York State and covers 626 square miles. It is home to 16 towns, 6 villages, 10 hamlets and has an approximate population of 33,000 people. The county name, which is also the county seat, comes from a Mohawk word meaning “floating driftwood”.

Most of the Southern portion of the county lies within the Catskill Mountains. The Schoharie Creek watershed spans an area of approximately 950 square miles and the course of the creek includes 2 reservoir-dam systems. The Gilboa Dam and the Schoharie Reservoir are part of the New York City Water Supply System. The New York Power Authority operates the Blenheim-Gilboa Dam and its reservoir to produce hydroelectric power. The headwaters of the Delaware River are located in the Town of Jefferson and tributaries of the Susquehanna River are located in the Towns of Jefferson and Summit. Schoharie County has many known natural attractions from Howe Caverns, Vroman’s Nose and even the Gilboa Fossils.

In light of the recent reopening guidance for Phase 2 businesses, we are changing the topic of the webinar. The new Phase 2 guidelines apply to non-essential businesses in regions that are permitted to reopen, essential businesses throughout the state that were previously permitted to remain open, and commercial and recreational activities that have been permitted to operate statewide with restrictions

Schoharie County Board of Supervisor’s Chairman Bill Federice, SUNY Cobleskill President Dr. Marion Terenzio will host the webinar which will include Mohawk Valley Control Room Officials and Schoharie County Public Health Director, Dr. Amy Gildemeister, to answer your questions about Phase 1 and 2 reopening efforts in Schoharie County and the Mohawk Valley region.
