Saratoga County Resilient Infrastructure Study Released

-July 28, 2022-

Saratoga County and the Saratoga Economic Development Corporation released a public report on resilient infrastructure for the County and regional stakeholders.

SEDC presented the report’s findings to the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors at its July 19 Board meeting. Funding for the project was provided by the Capital District Regional Planning Council (CDRPC). Saratoga County engaged SEDC for the project to gain insight on the business community’s infrastructure resiliency concerns and to assess government’s role in buffering residents and businesses against future events and regional impacts relating to infrastructure and energy needs. The report recognizes the County’s successful track record of proactive attention to potential risks and provides a path forward to improve on its strong foundation, citing a collaborative and involved business community and the county’s robust growth of economic activity, population, and average income.

“This very important project and final report serves as the beginning of enhanced communication and planning amongst all entities responsible for critical infrastructure serving Saratoga County," said Phil Barrett, Clifton Park Town Supervisor and Chairman of the project.

Fosterra’s President, Benjamin Foster, was engaged to provide leadership, expertise, and hands-on stakeholder engagement activities to develop the approach and final deliverables. “We are pleased to develop this assessment and report that establishes the short- and mid-term needs across the community for investments that benefit the public and private sectors,” said Benjamin Foster.
